On today's episode of the Additive Insight Innovators on Innovators podcast, we're joined by Rahul Kasat of 3D Systems and Dave Rheinheimer of DuoForm Plastics. Kasat has been working with 3D Systems for almost 18 months, since the company acquired the Titan Robotics business he led, while Rheinheimer serves as the DuoForm Product Development Manager. DuoForm is a thermoforming plastics company that leans on 3D Systems' pellet extrusion technology to produce moulds, for greater agility and quicker turnaround times. Throughout their conversation, Kasat and Rheinheimer detail the 3D printing workflow for thermoforming moulds, discuss the benefits of pellet extrusion for such applications, and explore the future opportunities in the thermoforming space.

Name one other podcast where you can hear about heavy 3D-printed drones, DIY semiconductors, and using licorice to block laser beams. Throw in homebrew relays, a better mouse trap, and logic analyzers, and you'll certainly be talking about Elliot Williams and Al Williams on Hackaday Podcast 235. There's also contest news, thermoforming, and something that looks a little like 3D-printed Velcro. Elliot and Al also have their semi-annual argument about Vi vs. Emacs. Spoiler alert: they decided they both suck. Missed any of their picks? Check out the links on Hackaday, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!

Alex Smilansky , Co-Founder & CEO, shares how the Mayku team, both inspired by and leveraging the 3D printing revolution, has reinvented 3D forming manufacturing processes such as thermoforming as accessible, desktop fabrication technologies. So far, they have launched the Mayku FormBox (vacuum forming) and Mayku Multiplier (pressure forming), with more 3D forming platforms on the way. Their approach to reimagining industrial 3D forming methods has offered new routes for their users to quickly duplicate parts and produce molding/casting components, meeting a wide range of needs from prototyping to product design to medical parts to educational experiences to producing custom chocolate molds. 

On this episode of SPOT radio, Charlie Webb speaks with the technical sales team at Merrill's Packaging. Dan Kelly, Andy D'Esposito CPP, and Kevin Scott provide insight on the process of custom medical thermoforming. This year Merrill's is celebrating its 60th year and is a custom thermoformer based in the California Bay Area with a second location in Costa Rica. They have a custom medical thermoforming focus plus also form food, retail, and electronic packaging. Through the years, they have become a trusted leader in thermoforming, supplying many of the world's largest medical companies.Guest Descriptions:Dan Kelly Soon after graduating college in the mid-'90s with a BS in Engineering, Dan moved into a project management/application's engineering role with a top packaging machinery manufacturer in Cape Cod, MA.  Soon thereafter he transitioned to a sales role and promoted their business in Europe. In the early 2000's Dan moved back to the states and has been in the custom thermoforming environment ever since.  Dan enjoys the healthcare side of packaging as it continuously evolving to better serve the patient.  In his spare time, Dan enjoys coaching youth basketball, boating, running road races, and spending time with his wife and their 2 children. dan@merrills.com Andy D'Esposito CPP graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 1981 with a degree in Marketing.  After that, he started working in the packaging industry and has been for 40 years with the last 11 years in Medical Packaging.  He is on the board for IOPP in Southern California and also on the board for the ASTM F-02 group.  Andy received his Certified Packaging Professional certificate about 10 years ago and remains active in his local chapter.  His knowledge and experience in various packaging industries allow him to offer customers and prospects a myriad of advice and assistance in their efforts to develop various types of packaging.  Having worked for companies large and small he has developed a sales style that fits any sized company.  Andy was also part owner in a medium-sized retail thermoforming company in Southern California for 10 years and fully grasps the intricacies of running a business including accounting, human relations, marketing, production, quality control, and inventory management.  In his spare time, Andy enjoys boating, skiing, backpacking, golf, travel, and spending time with his family. andy@merrills.com Kevin Scott has been in custom thermoforming for close to 15 years with a short stint in pharmaceutical packaging. For the past ten years, his primary focus has been on medical & pharma packaging. Since graduating from NC State with an accounting degree in 2000, he has worked in plastics, starting with an injection molder in the accounting department and finding his calling in sales. When he isn't traveling for work or pleasure, he is an avid runner and enjoys professional boxing in his free time. He lives in Raleigh, NC, with his family. kscott@merrills.com  Contact:Website: merrills.comemail: info@merrills.comPhone: 800-284-5910

Dr Claudia Cruz and Roberto Stadi describe the predicability of aligners, indirect bonding for labial and lingual appliances Summary Aligners Factors which reduce the predictability of aligners · Manufacturing process: 0.1mm · Force delivery o Thermoforming force decay o Inconsistent thickness of aligner · Anatomy of teeth: Rounded teeth (Canines and Premolars / Bicuspids) How to improve predictability Clinical: · Increase attachment size, alter attachment orientation, stage movements Technological – not achieved yet! · Use actual root information (CBCT), control thermoforming features, calculate forces required and ideal attachment for tooth movement Indirect labial bonding · Up to 1mm error in bracket placement in indirectly · Up to 1 mm error in robotic archwire formation · Outcomes worse than conventional direct bonding · Tooth morphology anterior 2-2 will usually require manual wire bending Lingual appliance · Accurate to 40 and up to 1 mm · Torque discrepancies manifest in greater 2nd order error than labial · Extraction cases: more critical to control moment force ratio, if not = greater retroclination / loss of torque of upper labial segment Conclusion: New technology have discrepancies which the clinician should factor into treatment planning References Customised labial brackets accuracy Alford, T.J., Roberts, W.E., Hartsfield Jr, J.K., Eckert, G.J. and Snyder, R.J., 2011.

We have covered in: Part 1: Diecasting & Painting Processes. Part 2: Plastic Injection Machine & Vacuum Metalizing Process. Part 3: We talk about Wheels & Tires. Part 4: We looked into Thermoforming & Vacuum Forming “Glass.” Today, we talked about manufacturing headlights, taillights, marker lights & light bars. We covered how they are made & colored. For mass produced models of cars & trucks the plastic injection machine is used. Headlights & taillights are often injected & cast as one part. For more expensive models, lights are cast as individual parts & placed on the model by hand during final assembly. Light bars are usually made of clear plastic. The red & blue color is painted on by skilled painters. Finally, we ended our conversation by touching briefly on illumination of headlights, taillights, marker lights, signal lights, & light bars. RC cars & trucks provide the best examples. Lights add realism to any model & make the model come alive. Next time I will go into creating the packaging for our model vehicle. So stayed tuned.
