Using a simple surface texture, we were able to achieve a 2.2x increase in bond strength over natural gray parts! While getting maximum strength is great, and necessary for some applications, this also increases the margin of error in the bonding process. It may be possible to use half the amount of glue, while getting the necessary mechanical properties for your glued joint. Combining 3D printed parts into a larger assembly can be done for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, parts are too large for the required technology, or multiple materials need to be combined in a single part with no fasteners. Bonding is a quick solution for this. To improve the bond strength of these joints, we tested surface textures from nTopology using our Mark-10 Corporation load frame. PA12 parts were printed on the HP 3D Printing MJF platform and bonded together using Henkel HY4070. This is our go-to adhesive solution for AM parts. An equal amount of glue was applied to each pair of parts, and the parts were allowed to cure for over 24 hours before testing. Raw gray parts had the lowest average force of only 365LbF, followed closely by dyed black parts at 465LbF. Adding a Voronoi texture to the ID or OD of only one of the parts increased the force to just shy of 600LbF, while adding this same Voronoi to both parts increased the force to over 800LbF. #Avidpd #3dprinting #additivemanufacturing #bridgemanufacturing #serialization #solidworks #dfam #HPMJF #engineering #3d #solidworks #ntopology #createsmarter #3DbyHP #ntopology #testing #testingequipment #testingservices

Whether it’s prototyping or production, we have you covered with the flexible and durable Estane 3D M88A. Looking to bring this solution in house? Contact Lubrizol 3D Printing Solutions to get this installed in your facility.
It’s been a year since we launched the unique, soft and flexible ESTANE? 3D TPU M88A material for HP’s Jet Fusion 5200 platform at Formnext 2023. It has had a great response from the market and is so versatile and durable that it can be found in automotive, consumer goods, O&P, or industrial parts. ? It can be easily unpacked at room temperature and allows for beautiful lattice designs. Contact David Pascual for more information or discover more of its uniqueness in this short video: https://lnkd.in/dJc9YNef ? #3DPrinting #MJF #AdditiveManufacturing #Lattice

ICYMI: Stephanie Hendrixson and the team from Additive Manufacturing Media stopped by Avid to check out our new facility. How can our automation and technology help enable your project?
Automation is not just for high-volume, repeat production. That’s something I learned during my visit to Avid Product Development, A Lubrizol Company in Loveland, Colorado. The facility is appointed with machines that automate additive manufacturing steps such as depowdering, cleaning, polishing, dyeing. Looking at the equipment alone, you might think this is a manufacturer churning out production parts day in and day out. The company does some production work of course (in fact, most of Avid’s revenue comes from production), but the bulk of orders that it sees are for prototyping. As the company’s name suggests, product development is a critical part of its DNA, and remains an important business activity. And all that development demands significant engineering resources—which is where that automation comes back in. Because engineers don’t need to babysit parts through every process step, they have more time to focus on DFAM, workflow development, and solving the trickiest problems for 3D printed parts and final products. ??Read the full story at the link in the comments. Thanks to Ryan Billson, Brittney Frank, Dawson Swan and the rest of the Avid team for hosting this visit! #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting
