Carbon Fiber Prototyping Guide Ever wondered how high-performance products like drones, race cars, or bicycles are made? The answer often lies in carbon fiber prototyping. This process uses carbon fiber to create parts that are light and strong. It allows designers...
5052 vs 6061 aluminum What can one do when presented with two metals with good corrosion resistance, but has to trade off between weldability, strength, and machinability? That’s the case for which we have to think critically while making a comparison of 5052 vs 6061...
Stainless steel indentation Stainless steel is mainly used for its corrosion resistance, but its durability and hardness make it an extremely versatile material. Hardness of stainless steel determines many of its potential applications. Stainless steel bars Steel...
