30 Years of Making Innovation Work

It is kind of hard to wrap your mind around three decades. So much has happened in every one of those years that just looking back and contemplating a fraction of the successes, failures, and day-to-day work of PADT is difficult. So why try?


Let’s just celebrate it!

Pi Day and SandFest 2024

We had two fantastic team building events this month.


First, we ventured to the Children's Museum of Phoenix to play in a giant pile of sand for SandFest 2024. Our giant sand castle came in second this year. Fun was had by all.

Then we celebrated Pi Day on 3/24 with, what else, Pie and Math. We played with some AI image generators, competed for the coveted PADT Pi Day Plate with a new math quiz, and then ate way too much pie baked by our employees.

The Latest Definition from PADT's 3D Printing Glossary

Glass Transition Temperature


The temperature above which a given material transitions from hard material to a rubbery material. In polymers, materials below the glass transition temperature are rigid and brittle. Above the temperature they are easily deformed and may freely flow.


In additive manufacturing, the glass transition temperature is important because above that temperature, material can be transported and deposited. Then when it cools below that temperature, it hardens and bonds with the previous layer. Most polymer material extrusion system work on this principal.
