Results: Controlled dimensionality and acceptable cycle times were achieved for these large parts in an abrasive crystalline polymer. Last year, Linear merged with on-demand digital manufacturer Shapeways Inc. We also had to consider how best to control dimensionality, especially since a crystalline polymer would be used.
