Jeffrey McGrew On Adapting 3D Print Furniture Techniques To Today's Demands
10/8/2021
3D print furniture is perhaps the best solution to get beds, chairs, tables, and more in the easiest and fastest way possible. This also allows homeowners to help reduce waste and build sustainable properties. Jeffrey McGrew takes this process to another level by achieving more personalized outputs and making customers more involved with their creation. Joining Tom Hazzard and Tracy Hazzard, he shares the different 3D printing methods they are using at Model-No. to produce custom-made but still ergonomic furniture. He talks about the advantages of focusing more on quality over mere quantity, as well as maximizing the limits of wood integration and subtractive fabrication.

Complexities of Design for Full Color 3D Printing
7/28/2020
When designing a 3D print product, color tends to be the last thing many designers think about, mainly because 3D printers have not been color friendly, up until now. With the many complexities to full color 3D printing, it helps to reframe and start thinking about it as part of the initial design process rather than an afterthought—most especially because color application opens up the design possibilities. Tom Hazzard and Tracy Hazzard talk about planning, designing, and technically specifying for full color 3D printing. The HP Jet Fusion Full Color 3D Printer is a real game-changer in the hands of a creative designer ready to explore the world of 3D in color.

Technical Tips for Creating 3D Print Textures and Surface Materials – Updated 2020
7/21/2020
Color, pattern, and surface textures are the first things we react to when evaluating a product. For consumers to connect to 3D print products, 3D print textures need to be carefully considered and created as a part of the design process. This has been a challenging part of the 3D design process. Fresh from the Project Captis episode, Tom Hazzard and Tracy Hazzard look back on the previous episode on technical tips for creating 3D print textures and surface materials and provide an update on how far the design process has come. They talk about the tools and improvements that are coming out to help apply textures to 3D models easier. In praise of the old school techniques, they then discuss why getting familiar with the different 3D manufacturing processes can inform you to create better 3D products that people will love.

Expanding 3D Print Applications Using Post Processing Techniques with Wes Kramer
7/21/2020
In 3D print design, there is a noticeable gap between what we are creating on the machine and what consumers expect and are willing to buy. There is a lack of post-processing techniques that help in the 3D manufacturing process and create an overall better and polished 3D product. In this episode, Tom Hazzard and Tracy Hazzard bring in someone who can help you with this problem area. They interview Wes Kramer, a 3D application engineer at HP, who helps companies achieve the results they need for their consumers before buying. Wes talks about expanding 3D print applications using post-processing techniques, covering areas from the uniformity of the 3D print product with hydrographics, its surface quality with sandblasting and vapor smoothing, to enhancing other properties such as mechanical, conductivity, and more. Taking it further, he then taps into the sub-assembly of the 3D product and gives some tips and tricks on the better ways to attach parts today. Listen in on this great conversation to learn how you can close the gap between your 3D print machines’ constraints to the 3D design that is acceptable to the end-users.
