Formlabs Fuse 1 Workflow In this week's 2 Minute Tuesday, we will take a look at how easy it is to add a powder-based 3D printer to your prototyping workflow. Namely, we walkthrough how to use the Fuse 1 by Formlabs.
We are currently looking for customers that would like to be featured in our 2023 marketing efforts. We would love to showcase your real-life, positive experiences. These stories can be effective for promoting your services and businesses as well as ours. Depending upon your applications, Cimquest may feature you in any one of our various marketing efforts including a live webinar, a case study, a customer testimonial, or even a featured 2-Minute Tuesday video. We [...]
Come join Desktop Metal and Cimquest at the University of Maryland's A. James Clark School of Engineering for an informative Metal Additive experience. See firsthand how this world-class university incorporates 3D Printing into its curriculum, ensuring that their engineering students are leaving with practical machine experience and knowledge of its processes. This experience will impart a deeper understanding of Metal Additive Manufacturing to attendees, demonstrating how it can be applied to your business. Each session [...]
The Importance of Stock Models - Mastercam 2023 In this week's 2 Minute Tuesday, we will examine the importance of using stock models in 3D machining, which allow users to create a “snapshot” of the workpiece at any given point during the machining process. These "snapshots" can then be used to streamline toolpath motion for irregularly-shaped stock and re-machining operations.
We all made it through another year! With 2022 in our rearview mirror I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for choosing to partner with Cimquest! We at Cimquest do not take our relationships lightly. Each and every day I know that we owe it to our customers and partners to prove our continued value to your businesses. It is our job to make that happen! The world is becoming more and [...]
The Control X Plot Comparison Tool will analyze the thickness, curvature, and angle of Measured data (point cloud or mesh) and uses color mapping to display the results. You can also pinpoint specific point locations on the model to return actual values for the plot being reviewed, at those specified locations. One of the unique aspects of this tool is it does not require Reference data. All calculations utilize a single Measured mesh or point [...]
In this week's 2 Minute Tuesday, we will take a look at how you can use the Plot Comparison tool in Control X to analyze the thickness, curvature, and angle of mesh data at any point on the mesh.
This blog post will explore the Product Manufacturing Information (or PMI) model generated in Solidworks and how it may be used to automate the inspection process in Control X. PMI is a fairly new tool that enables manufacturing information to remain with CAD models through downstream applications. Traditionally, the Control X user would need to enter all dimensional and datum information manually. By implementing PMI, all manufacturing information flows seamlessly from CAD to inspection, thereby [...]
