5 tips for successful SLS 3D prints
In a perfect world, it should be possible to design and print anything in an SLS 3D printer. But just like with any other technique, SLS has its limitations. As a designer or user of SLS 3D printing, you need to be familiar with these limitations in order to print … Läs mer
Aurora ESD – the material that protects sensitive components
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a rapid, spontaneous transfer of electrostatic charge from one object to another. Albeit not dangerous to humans, these small zaps can destroy sensitive electronic equipment like PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) and microchips. Hence, these components will need to be protected by ESD-safe materials. Here we describe … Läs mer
