November 2023 Demanding technical plastic components: injection molding and/or 3D printing? To put it briefly: No matter what you manufacture, in what quantity and within what time and cost frame it has to be ready for presentation or series production, and no matter how demanding the subsequent load on the component may be - what counts in the end is whether the plastic component works and, above all, pays off. And whether this is achieved by injection molding or 3D printing or even extrusion is - at least from our point of view - of secondary importance. Why we see it that way, why this is advantageous for you, and how we can easily turn the or into an and - that's what you'll find out in the next four minutes of reading time here: Read more](https://blog.lehvoss.de/en/compounds/demanding-technical-plastic-components-injection-molding-and-or-3d-printing) # [10. November 2022 Knockout already in round one? Clear the ring for the battle of the 3D printing processes! Welcome to a fight of the extra class, where it is about nothing less than the title "World Champion Industrial 3D Printing" ". In one corner: Extrusion printing (FFF – Fused Filament Fabrication and FGF – Fused Granulate Fabrication) - represented by "Doc Medeiros"; the Brazilian Thiago Medeiros Araujo - known for his passionate, spirited fighting style. And in the opposite corner: the powder pressure - represented by "Doc Rechberger"; the German Marcus Rechberger, known for his extremely persistent fighting style. The fight goes over six rounds ...

August 2022 3D printing materials for industrial applications. From hobby to professional printing. 3D printing is impressively complex: It is new and also already established. On the one hand, it stands for technology of the future, and on the other hand, many designers - still (?) - don't know what to do with it. It provides answers and at the same time raises questions. For some it is their new hobby, for others it is already an established production technique; for some it is the new hype and for others it is already lived routine. And wherever you are in terms of 3D printing and what you know or think about it - for us at LEHVOSS, it is an industrial application that we have been serving for over 10 years with material developments and, above all, material advancements.

February 2022 3D Printing of Tools: What are the Basics to Add Value? From a purely technological point of view, 3D printing is definitely impressive. Bit by bit - or: layer by layer - the technology is conquering and establishing its place in many industries. In the direct production of components as well as in tool making. Nowadays, an Airbus A 350 also takes off thanks to the approximately 1,000 parts that were created using 3D printing or as part of an additive manufacturing process. But does 3D printing also impress with its cost advantages or in terms of carbon footprint? Does it manage to generate added value compared to established production methods such as casting, injection molding or milling? It's all a question of detailed process consideration.
