This blog post will explain how to export data out of Control X to be used for review or downstream applications. Control X Metrology software allows you to leverage rich data to understand why parts are in or out of tolerance. In working with a CAD model, known as the reference data, when you select the reference data node, a window appears in the bottom left that shows how the model will appear in the [...]
Williams Racing recently announced a new partnership with Nexa3D, bringing the fastest polymer 3D printing to the world of Formula One. Beginning this month, Nexa3D’s NXE400 ultrafast photoplastic 3D printer will be available to manufacture functional wind tunnel parts for aero testing purposes. The company’s NexaX software will enable high-performance additive manufacturing processes using modern computation architecture to develop light-weighted parts and accelerate the file-to-part process. With Nexa3D’s technology, Williams Racing will be able to [...]
reprint from Digital Engineering Companies found way to extend life of already-used 3D printed powders and parts, turning them into auto components for Super Duty F-250 trucks, creating closed-loop on waste. Ford says 3D printing has potential to revolutionize customization of low-volume vehicle parts, accelerate sustainability. Image courtesy of HP and Ford. Ford is seeking to drive the future of automotive 3D printing, this time teaming up with HP to innovatively reuse spent [...]
Additive manufacturing is rapidly rewriting the rules of how metal parts are made, and it’s doing it with the help of a new design language - Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM). Developed to take advantage of the enormous design freedom that comes with 3D printing, DfAM allows manufacturers to unlock a host of benefits - from highly complex geometry to the use of generative design tools to the ability to create internal features and channels [...]

3DGence announced a new industrial 3D printer for their INDUSTRY line, the F350. The 3DGence F350 production 3D printer Previously the company launched the F340 and F420. The new F350 seems to fit in-between the previous two models, as you might suspect. However, unlike most “mid models”, it isn’t just about a build volume that fits in-between. 3DGence has implemented an interesting combination of thermal capabilities as well. Each of the three INDUSTRY [...]
The Universal CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) is a software-only alternative to many of the cryptic and clumsy programming software products that ship with CMM’s and Head controllers. The Verisurf AUTOMATE module provides communications between Verisurf software and the CMM giving you a simple user interface to address authoring inspection programs from a variety of supported CMM’s. Tolerating outdated metrology software is now a thing of the past, especially for companies owning multiple CMM’s, each with [...]
