What is Infill Density in 3D Printing?

Considering DMLS 3D printing for your next project? This technology excels at producing functional metal prototypes and complex parts, suitable even for small production batches. Selecting a skilled manufacturer lets you construct parts from diverse materials, including 316L stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, nickel-base superalloys, and die steel. But remember, the success of DMLS largely hinges on both the expertise of your manufacturer and the specifics of your design, particularly when it comes to infill density—the internal structure of your part.   What does infill density mean for your print?   In 3D printing, infill density is the variable that adjusts the internal structure's shape, impacting the part's strength, print duration, and mass. A variety of patterns are available to fine-tune these attributes, selectable through your 3D slicing software during the design preparation phase.   Unlike injection molding,which requires parts to be either full...

Crafting Perfection: HLHProto's Approach to Injection Molding Prototyping

Injection molding prototyping  is a manufacturing process where custom molds are used for making prototypes. At HLH Proto, we often have clients requiring this service during the early stages of their product development process. With high-quality prototypes, they can effectively verify the feasibility, safety, and functionality of their product and verify its aesthetics before moving into mass production.     Unlike other manufacturers, we approach injection molding differently by working closely with every client. This allows us to thoroughly understand their needs and tailor our process to deliver high-precision results, even when the project has a complex design or shape.     Creating the most durable molds     Various factors can impact the success of  injection molding prototyping , including the mold. At HLH Proto, we make custom molds based on our clients' designs using high-quality materials like aluminum and steel. We o...
