Why Yield Strength Matters
In engineering, using materials with insufficient yield strength can result in structural failures, while over-specifying materials can lead to unnecessary costs. Balancing safety, performance, and cost requires a clear understanding of yield strength. Safety: Designing below the yield strength prevents permanent deformation and structural failure. Longevity: Selecting materials with appropriate yield strength ensures durability under […]
What is Rapid Prototyping?
Rapid prototyping is a product development method that utilizes turnkey manufacturing technologies to quickly produce multiple iterations of a component for testing and evaluation. In other words, it is a method of making parts as quickly as possible for hands-on reviews. 3D printing is most often chosen for rapid prototyping because of its affordable price […]
