See L-PBF. Now replace "metal" with polymer. That's SLS. It has a distinct advantage over most laser-powder-bed processes in that the parts are self-supporting and can be stacked, allowing
Similar to L-PBF 3D printing, EBM uses a high-powered electron beam rather than a laser to melt the metal powder. It is said to be the preferred method for building
Where simple stamping dies form or punch out a part with each up and down stroke of the press, a progressive die completes it in bite-sized pieces. It gradually moves the strip of material
Sustainable manufacturers embrace "green" practices such as investing in energy-efficient machine tools, minimizing waste, reducing carbon emissions, using recyclable or recycled materials
Where most milling toolholders rely on a screw, collet, or similar clamping mechanism to grip the tool, shrink-fit uses thermally-induced compression—heat the holder until its bore expands
