In this week's 2 Minute Tuesday, we are going to examine how you can transition from a mesh model to a voxel model in Oqton's Freeform Plus. Specifically, we will import a mesh file of a leg into the software, convert it into a clay model, also known as a voxel model, and demonstrate some of the Deform Shape tools within the product.
In part one of this blog series, we discussed what Mastercam Add-Ons are (specialized aftermarket software kits that work within the Mastercam interface) and covered four of the most commonly used Add-Ons: Multiaxis, Productivity+, Port Expert, and Mastercam Art. This second blog in the series will cover five more popular Add-Ons and how to use them. 5-Axis Curve Machining This particular Add-On is considered a great starting point for entering into the multiaxis world. It [...]
Reprint from OPB A saber-toothed salmon, as depicted by artist Ray Troll. The mural is part of the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History. - University of Oregon For years, museum conservators and paleontologists have yearned for a way to duplicate fragile fossils without damaging them. Now scientists with the University of Oregon say they have found a way to do just that, with the help of a relatively inexpensive [...]

Choosing an UltiMaker Solution In our first episode of CimCast, we discuss Ultimaker's line of 3D printers to help aid in your buying and decision-making process.
Your shop’s intellectual labor is valuable. Protect it. By saving your best practices in a digital database, you streamline your production process and ensure that your hard work won’t be forgotten or lost. One of the best ways to do this is by employing your CAD/CAM software’s operations library. Mastercam’s Operations Library is a virtual catalog of your previously defined machining strategies: combinations of your toolpaths, tooling, and related parameters. Every strategy within the library [...]
The manufacturing industry has witnessed a revolutionary transformation with the advent of additive manufacturing, which has introduced innovative production solutions. In the field of repairs, additive manufacturing, particularly with Wire-DED systems, presents numerous notable advantages compared to conventional repair methods. Cost-Effectiveness: Repairing parts using additive manufacturing can be highly cost-effective. Traditional repairs often involve manual processes which can be time-consuming and expensive. Moreover, DED systems, as Meltio’s technology, allow for precise repairs by adding material [...]
