By creating custom drill operations you can increase the efficiency of programming for these common features.
HP’s Color MJF Parts with AMT’s PostPro Vapor Smoothing Colored Thermoplastic 3D printed parts via Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) have set the highest standards of color capabilities possible with powder bed fusion processes. These parts still have surface imperfections such as internal voids, residue powder, or partially fused powder among the most common. Significant performance enhancements can be achieved through surface smoothing of color-3D printed parts via AMT’s PostPro® chemical vapor smoothing. Join us for [...]
The Benefit of using GD&T and a Positional Tolerance vs +/- Tolerances When creating a part like the one below, the intent of the four holes is likely to fasten this component to another in the final assembly where the round holes will accept round fasteners. We want to look for a way to maximize our tolerance to provide as few scrapped parts as possible. A typical dimensioning scheme using +/- tolerances might look something [...]

https://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/biiayb1itt?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640 3D Scanning for Large Objects In this episode, we 3D scan a large bike frame with the Freescan Trak. It is suitable for large-scale inspection and reverse engineering in the aerospace, automotive, shipping, and energy industries.
In this post, we will walk through how to create a tire model with deep treads using Geomagic Freeform. We will do this by applying the basics of Sub D modeling to create a real-world part. Let’s start by creating a Taurus. Inside the editing tools, we can see that we have 61,440 faces on Level 5. We have two planes here - the XY and YZ plane. For the XY plane, we keep Symmetry [...]

https://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/fbqg5cyj1y?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640 Soluble Support Material in 3D Printing Soluble support is removed by a completely automated process using either a wash tank or a container filled with water. Dissolvable material allows for geometries to have internal voids, and leaves little to no blemishes to the outer wall - keeping fine delicate features fully intact.
