Customer Spotlight: Mueller Corporation In this week’s 2 Minute Tuesday, we will take a look at Mueller Corporation for Cimquest's latest Customer Spotlight. 3D Printing has proven to be a fantastic asset, helping to enhance their processes.
What are the benefits of upgrading a 2D mill or router seat to 3D? The Mastercam products referred to as 2D and single surface 3D allow some limited 3D machining, however, they can be updated at any time. This upgrade is referred to as Multi-surface 3D and it adds significant capabilities beyond just the multiple-surface 3D machining capability including: Stock awareness that prevents wasted time in “air cuts” Multi-thread processing for efficient multi-tasking Seamless integration [...]

MakerBot's SKETCH Large 3D printer offering comes equipped with printer training, student curriculum, and enough printing material for a whole semester included, all for $2399. To celebrate the launch of the SKETCH Large we’ll be giving you the MakerBot Educators Guidebook for FREE, PLUS 30% off on all SKETCH Large accessories when you purchase the SKETCH Large printer — that means you can get [...]
Performing 2D Twist Angle Analysis in Control X In this edition of our Metrology Minute, we are going to discuss the 2D Twist Analysis tool in Control X. It analyzes the deviation of twist angle between section profiles of the Reference and Measured data. Let’s use the turbine scan, aligned to the nominal CAD model shown below as an example. You would start with a pre-aligned model of Measured to Reference data. If you want [...]
Upgrading Mill to Mill 3D - Mastercam 2023 In this week’s 2 Minute Tuesday, we will examine the benefits of upgrading a mill or router seat to 3D.
Mastercam 2023 now gives you choices for mapping colors identically or independently in the main interface and the Mastercam Simulator often referred to as Mastercam Verify. In previous versions of Mastercam, color mapping in the main interface was completely independent of the Simulator and was also tied to the simple 256-color palette of Windows. However, the Simulator uses the HTML color palette which, while it supports many more color definitions, uses a different naming convention [...]
It's been 5 years since we began our partnership with Hurco CNC and Alta Enterprises. We are extremely happy to continue that relationship by using and showing the great capabilities of their CNC Machines. We first received a Hurco VM 10Ui 5 -axis mill and a Takumi H10 VMC back in Sept of 2017. The VM 10Ui has made its way to a new home running production parts and we now have the Takumi H10 [...]
This blog post will show you the best way to orient and support your resin prints for the Formlabs 3 and 3L SLA printers. By modifying the support touch point size and density, you can have resin parts that simply break off of the support which reduces your post-processing time. When it comes to supporting models for SLA 3D printing, the goal is to have the least amount of support while still securing the model [...]
