MALIEV Journal
Product guides, shop updates, and practical notes for compact manufacturing, machine work, and MALIEV hardware.
A practical scan-to-CAD guide for replacement parts: capture accessible geometry, recover design intent, create editable data where needed and validate against the real assembly.
Choose 3D printing or CNC for a functional prototype by the decision it must support: geometry learning, stock material, critical fit, surface, quantity and iteration.
A practical guide to the real inputs behind a 3D printing quote: material, geometry, setup, finish and quantity.
Need a 3D printing service quote? Send the model in STL, 3MF, or STEP where available, plus the part’s purpose, critical dimensions, material questions, quantity, and target use....
Choose a 3D-printing material by the part’s duty, environment, fit, and production process—not by color or price alone. This guide compares PLA, PETG, ASA, and PA Nylon, then...
Choose datum features from the part’s functional interfaces, then use a primary-secondary-tertiary reference frame that constrains the part without forcing it. This practical guide covers printed and machined...
