Thermoplastics: A Solid Choice for 3D Printing
When designing a new product, engineers can best predict its end performance by making prototypes out of material that closely mimic the final product. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) thermoplastics use the same types of raw materials as injection molding—making 3D printing a wise choice. Learn the unique properties of each thermoplastic material and how to choose the right material for your prototype.

Racing to the Finish with Additive Manufacturing
Learn how to fuel your in-house design and manufacturing processes by using additive manufacturing. Fine tune your ideas, chop weeks from your design process and help your company save money. Test form, fit and function iteration after iteration, using FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology. That’s what the engineers at Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) do. As one of NASCAR’s most recognized teams, JGR has just three days to diagnose a problem, find a solution, and implement it before the car ships to the next race. Learn how you can apply to your job the lessons learned in the fast-paced world of racing.
