3D Printing for Low Volume Production

By Cimquest Marketing|2017-12-22T08:24:17-05:00August 18th, 2017|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg|0 Comments

Companies in certain industries sometimes require customized end-use parts, used to either replace older parts or improve upon infrastructure. While necessary, the cost and time barriers associated with one-off parts can cause for engineering teams to postpone or even eliminate projects altogether. Siemans Mobility based in Germany develops technology for vehicles and infrastructure for transport machines. The unique needs of their customer base demands innovation in low run manufacturing. One of their customers, The SWU [...]

FDM Thermoform Tooling: What It Is and Why It Works

By Cimquest Marketing|2017-12-22T08:24:49-05:00August 16th, 2017|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg|0 Comments

A kitting tray 3D printed using thermoformed plastics. There’s a good chance you interact with multiple thermoformed products on a daily basis, whether that be in your grocery store, your car, or probably even your fridge. But what does it mean if something is thermoformed? Thermoforming is a conventional plastics forming process where heat is used to bring a sheet of plastic to its sagging point, or when it becomes pliable. The heat [...]

3D Offset on Curved Surfaces – SolidWorks 2017

By Cimquest Marketing|2017-12-28T09:04:57-05:00August 14th, 2017|Categories: 2 Minute Tuesdays, CQTV, SolidWorks 2MT|0 Comments

https://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/5uro10hgpu?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640 This command is ideal to use if you wanted to punch out the center of a 3D surface, or even create the design for an over molding, all the while keeping a constant offset from the face boundaries.

Additive Manufacturing Changes How We Think About Design

As 3D printing has become more and more mainstream, the traditional resource and skills barriers for manufacturing are all but vanishing. This trend is changing the very face of design. For the first time, producing complex products is no more difficult, expensive, or time-consuming than making simpler objects. 3D printing a block with holes, notches, and rounded edges is as approachable as printing a solid block once was. The 3D printers give designers unprecedented control [...]

CMM Inspection without a Master Part

By Cimquest Marketing|2017-12-28T09:06:07-05:00August 7th, 2017|Categories: 2 Minute Tuesdays, 3D Scanning / Reverse Engineering, CQTV|0 Comments

https://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/zuzbx0s6fj?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640 Automated CMM's typically require a master part data set when performing CMM inspection on hundreds (or thousands!) of the same part. But what if a master part is not available? Today we show how to manually capture measurements on the fly with Verisurf and the CMM Master.

SOLIDWORKS 2017 Mate Controller

By Cimquest Marketing|2017-12-22T08:28:45-05:00July 21st, 2017|Categories: SOLIDWORKS, Tech Tips|0 Comments

There is a great new enhancement in SOLIDWORKS 2017 that improves the Mate Controller tool. One of the benefits in creating assembly designs in CAD is the ability to simulate component motion. In CAD, you are able to define 3D motion constraints called Mates so that the part interaction resembles real-world motion – whether you want to simulate a robot, a lift mechanism, or even a bionic arm. However, creating animations when a series of [...]
