Choosing the Right Silicone for Your Prototype Model
Silicone is a common manufacturing material, used in applications such as gaskets, surgical implants, and adhesives. It’s a highly durable, heat-resistant elastomer that performs reliably under harsh environmental conditions. But not all silicones are alike. Factors like temperature and chemical resistance, mechanical properties, and durability vary from one silicone to the
When to Choose Additive vs. Subtractive Manufacturing for Your Prototype Model
Wondering when to use additive versus subtractive manufacturing for a prototype model? You may have a preference about designing for one manufacturing method over the other. Perhaps your material choice or part geometry is only really suited for one of these applications. But having a bigger-picture understanding of both of these
When to Choose Stock Components for Prototype Models
If you want to save time and money on your next prototype model, consider using stock components instead of having parts custom-made. It’s no secret that we specialize in complex projects here at KAD. We jump at the opportunity to solve complicated prototype CNC machining problems, and we love bringing intricate
