Threaded inserts are great for melting into FDM prints with a soldering iron. The process isn’t so simple for resin prints, since they don’t generally soften with heat. Off course, you can also print ...

The usual way to put a durable threaded interface into a 3D print is to use a heat-set insert, but what about other options? [Thomas Sanladerer] evaluates a variety of different threaded inserts, none ...

This article was updated May 25, 2023. It was originally published Nov. 17, 2009. To put hard, durable threaded holes in plastics, engineers often specify threaded metal inserts that will securely ...

Inserts are classified as two general types: those held in place by external threads and those that use some means other than threads (knurls, grooves, interference fit) for their holding power.

Have you ever spent hours perfecting a 3D-printed design, only to struggle with attaching screws or bolts securely? It’s a frustrating experience that many makers and engineers face. Threads are ...

For high performance, robust, and strong threaded inserts, engineers can turn towards norelem’s comprehensive self-tapping range. Stable, tear-proof, vibration-proof and wear-resistant, the ...

Threaded inserts from E-Z Lok can now be viewed in an online CAD library that streamlines the design and specification process for engineers, MRO and OEMs by giving them on-demand access to threaded ...

Portland, Ore. — C-sert LLC officials say stripped platen bolt holes can be a thing of the past with their line of patented threaded inserts. Frequent mold changes and production pressures can lead to ...

in metric and imperial sizes solve several common metalworking problems. Stripped, damaged or worn internal threads are easily replaced by new, stronger threads, without the need for special tools.
