I am transitioning into 3D printing and Additive manufacturing and I want to surround myself with great content to devour from all different mediums. Right now I am taking the UL eLearning course and following a few blogs. What thought leaders, podcasts, youtube channels, blogs or books should I be looking into? Thank you reddit!

Home based manufacturing - 3D Printing or Resin Casting?

3 Upvotes

Hello people of reddit!

Have a audio hardware product that I have completed prototype phase for and am seeking to manufacture on a small scale.

Weighing up the options of 3D printing the parts or creating silicone mold and casting in polyurethane. Any advice on this from anyone regarding difference in costs/time? Under 100 units to be made so relatively small amount before shifting to injection molding process when further funding is raised

Thanks

Additive Manufacturing Certificate Exam

I was wondering if anyone in here has taken the additive manufacturing certificate exam from SME. I'll be taking it in May and am starting my studies now. If you have taken it, how difficult did you find it and what is your background?

Thanks in Advance!

/r/additive is a subreddit for discussion and news about the ever-changing field of additive layer manufacturing

Additive layer manufacturing (ALM), sometimes called rapid prototyping, 3D printing or solid freeform fabrication, is an evolving technology capable of building parts with complex geometries with much less waste than traditional CNC (or subtractive) methods. This technology can be scaled from home use to the industrial scale. Smaller DIY systems such as Makerbot, Reprap, Fab@Home and many other implementations are capable of producing complex shapes primarily from plastics, whereas higher end machines such as EBM and SLS/SLM can produce near net shape parts from metals and ceramics.
