3D Printing a Downhole Thermal Barrier: Avalon Sciences and Omni3D
Avalon Sciences approached Omni3D while developing a thermal barrier for downhole tools. The project brought together a demanding service requirement, a PEEK processing challenge and a documented PEKK-A proposal. This application-development case explains the two material routes and the engineering questions that connect a print to its intended service.
How to Reduce Additive Manufacturing Cost per Part in Small-Series Production
Small-series additive production depends on more than print speed. This guide explains how to evaluate flow rate, dual extrusion, post-processing and quality control using cost per accepted part. It also outlines how to compare polymer and metal workflows and build a realistic production case before scaling.
When Should You Bring Industrial 3D Printing In-House?
The decision to own an industrial 3D printer depends on the work it will receive and the team that will operate it. Compare service, in-house and hybrid routes using accepted-part costs, capacity, qualification and a transparent break-even model before committing to equipment.
