Northern Lights Solutions Inc. principal, Roger Tipton, has been been selected as a NASA FSGC Fellow to continue his research into additive manufacturing systems. The purpose of the fellowship program is to provide a prestigious instrument to reward and attract the best and brightest. FSGC supports the expansion and diversification of Florida’s space industry, through […]
An interesting research project being performed by Roger Tipton is the digital simulation of the plastic material in an FDM 3D printer nozzle as a part is being printed. We are trying to better understand how the performance of finished products is a result of extrusion nozzle design, process conditions and raw material properties. This […]
Northern Lights Solutions is very excited about our new Stratasys Connex350 3D printing system. Using pioneering PolyJet multi-material 3D printing technology, the Stratasys Connex350 creates stunning prototypes that are amazingly similar to finished products. The Stratasys Connex350 prints as many as 14 material properties simultaneously in a single part, to eliminate time-consuming assembly. With its 350 […]
As additive manufacturing becomes more important to our business, we realized that we must continually improve our capabilities and drive improvements in the manufacturing part of the operation. The Design Department Perspective When designing new products, one of the greatest assets an engineer can utilize in the design process is a 3D printer to produce […]
We are excited to announce that we have just launched our new additive manufacturing group, AMtechworks. 3D printing of prototype and production parts has been growing rapidly and the industry seems to be on the verge of breaking out into the mainstream so we thought it was time to spin off our additive manufacturing work […]
