De-risking Industrial 3D Printing with a Simple, Repeatable Simulation Workflow

By |2024-08-09T09:55:01-04:00August 9th, 2024|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, 3d Scanning & Reverse Engineering|0 Comments

Radical weight reduction, enhanced performance, and short lead times. These are just a few advantages that drive aerospace companies to adopt 3D printing. But one major challenge is deterring them from fully committing to the technology – the hefty price of mistakes. The materials alone are so expensive that printing a single part sometimes costs tens of thousands of dollars. Additionally, aerospace parts need to comply with exacting standards where the tolerance for errors is [...]

Metrology Minute – Relocating a CAD Model for Inspection

By |2024-08-02T08:19:15-04:00August 2nd, 2024|Categories: Metrology Minute|0 Comments

Very often, when a part is designed in CAD, in terms of its orientation and origin, it isn’t necessarily where it needs to be oriented in the final assembly. Therefore, inspection values may not reveal the true picture as to what is needed regarding inspection data. Let’s consider this crankshaft below. The CAD designer created this sub-assembly with the part’s origin as shown. Then, any distance or location dimensions shown in the inspection will be [...]

Freeform Volumetric Software Reshapes Heads – and Lives

By |2024-07-31T09:04:16-04:00July 31st, 2024|Categories: 3d Scanning & Reverse Engineering|0 Comments

In recent years, volumetric CAD packages have emerged as the tool of choice for medical modeling. Oqton Freeform, one such volumetric CAD package, is well suited to give designers speed and design freedom with complex, organically shaped objects such as those found in the human body. When a defect, deformity, or injury alters cranial bones, surgeons need a unique blend of engineering and artistry to return the human face to its former aesthetics. Advances in [...]
