We can make our 3D-printed parts even more capable when we start mixing them with some essential “mechanical vitamins.” By combining prints with screws, nuts, fasteners, and pins, we get a rich ...

There’s a variety of ways to add threaded holes to 3D printed objects. You can tap a hole, but the plastic isn’t always strong enough. Nut traps work, but aren’t very attractive and can be difficult ...

SI threaded metal inserts are offered as an alternative to adhesives and rivets and provide strong, reusable metal threads in plastics to allow for subsequent access to assemblies when required. These ...

Have you ever spent hours perfecting a 3D-printed design, only to struggle with attaching screws or bolts securely? It’s a frustrating experience that many makers and engineers face. Threads are ...

To maximize the performance of Threaded Inserts in plastic assemblies, the hole must be properly designed. This White Paper details critical design guidelines for plastic components that use Inserts – ...
