Top 1: RPG benefits from Markforged AM solutions
Founded in 1995, RPG Industries provides EDM, CNC machining, waterjet cutting and additive manufacturing services. Its customers are diverse and come from the automotive, aerospace, medical and construction industries, among others. To meet the challenges of the industry, the company has now decided to purchase a Markforged 3D printer. RPG has already used the 3D printer for metal printing of automotive parts, specifically for 3D printing of a carburetor for a discontinued classic car. Robert Ginsburg, president of RPG Industries, says: “When I saw the technology and price point, I knew the Metal X system would be a good fit for our company.”
Top 2: AM and professional cycling
This week, we told you about different 3D printing projects related to cycling. And here’s another proof that 3D can help riders perform better: DSM helped the Sunweb team create custom-made armrests for the time trial. The team’s initial idea was to improve the aerodynamic position of the rider and reduce the overall weight of their bike to go further and faster. To achieve this, the position of the rider is essential – when the rider is bent forward, aerodynamic resistance is reduced. That’s why DSM has designed bike armrests that are customized to each rider’s morphology so that they can position their forearms correctly and comfortably. This allows them to stay in this position longer and reduces fatigue.
