Built-Rite Tool & Die, a Cimquest customer, is a mold-making and design firm based in Lancaster, MA. The company makes precision molds for use in a range of injection molding techniques. The Desktop Metal Studio System has been tested by Built-Rite for the manufacture of several components of the Studio System metal 3D printer. These included a “flipper arm” used in the Studio System to “eject the bound metal or interface media rods into the [...]

Let’s take a fresh look at the Form2 3D printer from our friends over at Formlabs. Stereolithography, more commonly known as SLA, is a 3D printing technology that originated in the early 1980's. With SLA, a liquid photopolymer is converted into solid material layer by layer when exposed to a highly concentrated light source, such as a laser or projector, in a process known as photopolymerization. The result is a three-dimensional solid part that is [...]
Join Cimquest for an in-depth look at PMI-driven inspection using CAD (SOLIDWORKS) and Geomagic Control X. In this workshop, you will see the seamless integration of Product Manufacturing Information from CAD driving a complete part inspection in Control X. By setting up PMI dimensions with tolerances, datums, GD&T, notes, labels, etc. in SOLIDWORKS using ‘Dimension Expert’, the inspection of the part then becomes fully automated. Presentation topics include What is Product Manufacturing Information and why [...]
https://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/tlvt0hu2ci?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640 SolidWorks 2018 allows you to leverage the STL format file when importing STL files by converting the STL mesh to a BREP solid or surface. This gives you the functionality needed to make modifications, and create tooling right from your STL!
SOLIDWORKS and Control X work really well together in the 3D part inspection world. SOLIDWORKS is one of the leading CAD tools in today’s design and manufacturing world. One of its advantages is that it offers you the opportunity to create a 3D annotated model. This can include things such as explicitly-specified dimensions, tolerances, 3D GD&T, surface texture symbols, finish requirements, and so on. This 3D annotated model is then used to manufacture the part, as [...]
https://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/ph55zynjj3?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640 Today we show the process of creating a unique, functional 3D printed part through a combination of 3D scanning and CAD design. At Cimquest we offer CAD design and reverse engineering services to help you bring your unique ideas to life. For more info, contact us at https://cimquest-inc.com/contact-us/
We are excited to host a series of educational seminars and live demonstrations on CNC technology, CNC programming, Robot Programming, Lean Robotics and 3D Scanning. These seminars will provide you with the latest techniques and processes in manufacturing with a focus on how to increase your productivity. Come learn and see the applications first hand then have lunch on us and the opportunity to speak one on one with the presenters. Our next forum will take [...]
