The Challenges of Post-Processing Complex 3D Printed Parts with CNC Milling The advent of 3D printing technology has revolutionized the manufacturing landscape, enabling the creation of complex geometries that were previously unattainable with traditional manufacturing methods. This innovation has unlocked new possibilities in design and functionality, allowing engineers to create intricate parts with internal channels, lattice structures, and organic shapes. However, these a

The problem To make a high performance bike saddle from carbon fiber and PU (polyurethane) would need two moulds / tooling. One for the carbon fibre part and then one for the PU foam part. If you were making the moulds in-house, you might be able to produce them in a day but then that tooling would be wasted or need storing once finished with, or if you need to iterate the design. The solution PolyMorphic moulding would allow you to make both parts from the same piece of tool

The Problem Patients with diabetes often need to wear special shoes to protect their feet from dangerous ulcers which can lead to amputation and even death. Unfortunately, current manufacture methods limit the fit and style of these shoes significantly - patients wait weeks or months for custom shoes, only to find they are not what they expected to receive, aren't comfortable and are often too ugly to wear regularly. Patients are embarrassed to wear the shoes, so compliance i
