https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jcKFbD_xLw Video courtesy of Northern Power and Safety Solutions Introduction Northern Power and Safety Solutions approached us a year ago with a challenge: to mass-produce a lockout tag that not only met workplace standards but also featured a modern, aesthetically appealing design. Bryan, the tag’s creator, came to us with an initial design that focused […]
This part came with some material challenges. Initially, we tested the part in Hard from Photocentric. It purportedly passed the tests from the customer. Mistakes were made which resulted in the part being mass produced in a different material that was thought to be better than hard. When the product was used by consumers, it

Merit3D completed a medical project this month with 405 resin from Loctite (IND405). This is a significant expansion of our normal operations, which have historically centered around 465 resins. We are constantly testing new resins for new projects. The project required over 40 iterations resulting in a sleek, functional product. Thousands of parts were ordered

We have been delving into parts that need medical certification. This has been a can of worms. We have found that medical certification isn’t so much about the material as it is about the geometry of the part printed, though materials do need to be safe to interact with humans in their specific applications. We

We’ve been printing more parts in 405 resin on our Phrozen Mega 8k v2’s as well as our other Phrozen printers. These printers have a smaller build plate than most of our other printers, especially our Liquid crystal magnas from Photocentric. Because of the small build plate, we’ve been able to dial in new resins

Problem We found that a particular resin absorbs about 40% water when submerged. The problem was brought to our attention when one of our customers sent us a fitting they used for distributing liquid fertilizer. The fitting was split. Background Before we print with a resin for our customers, we test it for strength and
