ABS 3D Printing – Easy as PLA with MakerBot RapidRinse
ABS is one of the most popular manufacturing polymers in the world, but desktop 3D printing with ABS has always been challenging. Warped and failed prints, expensive wash tanks, and chemicals for dissolving support material have all been limiting factors. Now you can print and post-process ABS parts as easily, and consistently as PLA with the new MakerBot RapidRinse™ Fast-Dissolving Support Material.
Metrology Minute – Geometry Deviation
Geometry Deviation is a tool for measuring essentially everything that might be relevant for size, orientation, and location for a specific feature. For example, when measuring geometry deviation for a cylinder, the criteria of interest would likely be the size, location, and centerline axis direction as they all compare to the nominal (exact) CAD model.
As you review the data blocks below, Control X can compare the scan data values to the CAD data values and […]
Manufacturing Soup
Additive design, 3D printing, Traditional CAD, Traditional CAM, Hybrid Machining, 3D Scanning, Scan Processing, Reverse Engineering, Inspection . . . Each discipline is evolving exponentially on its own, but each also crosses over into neighboring technologies, all contributing to the rapidly evolving world we refer to as “Manufacturing”.
In studying the sciences, one can quickly come to the conclusion that all disciplines are subsets of Physics. When Biology, […]
