7 Mistakes You’re Making with DfAM (and How to Fix Them)

Practical DfAM guidelines for mechanical design engineers using MJF and SLS for plastic parts.

Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) is often touted as a "limitless" frontier. For mechanical design engineers transitioning from traditional subtractive manufacturing or injection molding, the freedom to create complex lattices and internal channels feels like a superpower. However, industrial 3D printing: specifically powder bed fusion technologies like Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS): comes with its own set of rigid physical constraints.

The High-Performance Workhorse That Outsmarts PEEK and Ultem on Price and Precision

While PEEK and Ultem usually grab the headlines, PPS-CF (Carbon Fiber reinforced Polyphenylene Sulfide) is the real "unsung hero" for engineers working in brutal environments. This post breaks down why PPS-CF is a game-changer, offering world-class chemical immunity (literally no known solvents at room temp!) and thermal stability up to 220°C, all while being more dimensionally...
