Innovating Product Design with 3D Printed Threads and Screws

https://www.bimoutsourcing.com/3d-printed-threads-and-screws.html

Screws and nuts have threads that convert rotational motion of their helical structure into linear motion. Rotation of the helical structure is achieved by grooves or ridges arranged spirally. Fasteners must be able to slide in and out of the groove when linear force is applied. For mechanical advantage, ease of use, and sometimes for aesthetic reasons, each type of fastener has specific leads and head shapes.
