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 ...

SI threaded metal inserts are offered as an alternative to adhesives and rivets and provide strong, reusable metal threads in plastics to allow for subsequent access to assemblies when required. These ...

Sometimes, when making a 3D printed object, plastic just isn’t enough. Probably the most common addition to our prints is the ubiquitous brass threaded inset, which has proven its worth time and again ...

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 ...

MaxTite threaded inserts feature a full-hex body design, a thick head, and heavy walls to resist torque-out in demanding, high-load applications. MaxTite threaded inserts feature a full-hex body ...

The insert installs in thermoplastics for improved thread strength. The Tri-Step threaded aluminum insert enables fastening with thermoplastics. It is lead free and has 1/3rd the weight of brass and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Threaded fasteners are a necessity for almost any mechanical device. When making changes to a machine, one can add threads by tapping the part itself, or by using a nut. A nut can even be welded to a ...

We have all done it, overtightened a bolt and blown out the threads. When a bolt starts to tighten up and then go suddenly loose, you know that the threads are toast and now you have a problem.
