Real Time Machine Data Collection for Machine Shops

By |2020-07-31T08:21:18-04:00July 31st, 2020|Categories: Cimco, Technology|0 Comments

Decades ago, Distributed Numerical Control or DNC consisted of serial cables run from a computer system to a very expensive, proprietary DNC serial hub. Proprietary shop floor boxes were often times used to initiate the transfer of files. All this for the sole purpose of downloading and uploading G-Code programs to CNC machines. So what’s different today? One of the biggest changes is the shift from very expensive, proprietary hardware to open systems with commercially [...]

Nexa3D and Henkel Launch New Medical-grade Polymer 3D Printing Material

By |2020-07-29T08:27:46-04:00July 29th, 2020|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, Nexa3D|0 Comments

reprint from https://3dprintingindustry.com/ California-based SLA 3D printer manufacturer Nexa3D and global chemical company Henkel have launched a new polymer for 3D printing called xMED412. The polypropylene (PP)-like material combines enhanced strength properties with the biocompatibility of medical-grade materials, potentially making it well-suited to producing medical devices. What’s more, the high-impact, durable plastic has also been tested and cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use within clinical environments. As a result, the [...]

Deviation Analysis in Design X

By |2020-07-24T08:40:30-04:00July 24th, 2020|Categories: 3D Scanning, 3d Scanning & Reverse Engineering, Inspection|0 Comments

Let’s take a look at the basics behind Deviation Analysis in Design X. This is an essential tool for reverse engineering and will ensure that you get the most out of your 3D scans. In Geomagic Design X, Deviation Analysis tells us how far off our derived CAD model is from our scan. There are typically three sources of error when scanning a part: There could be a slight error in the actual manufacturing of [...]

Mastercam Adds Impressive Additions to Chaining and Hole Making

By |2020-07-20T08:25:43-04:00July 20th, 2020|Categories: Mastercam|0 Comments

If you haven’t already noticed, Mastercam’s already powerful Milling capabilities got another upgrade with recent releases. “The first thing you’ll notice when you open Mastercam 2020 is that we’ve given the chaining dialogues a bit of a facelift. We also changed some of the behaviors so that they work more efficiently,” said Rich Greenhoe, Product Owner at Mastercam. Chaining interfaces are freshened up. Displays are more organized, buttons are updated, and selected chains are easier [...]

What PMI means to the future of integrated CAD/CAM

By |2020-07-17T08:20:04-04:00July 17th, 2020|Categories: Inspection|0 Comments

Since the mid-1980s, when PC based CAD/CAM started its explosion due to the advent of 386 computing technology, our industry has had an ongoing hurdle to overcome . . . How to convey manufacturing and inspection information with the original model design. Historically a manufacturer would provide a job shop with a CAD model and an inspection drawing, increasing the likelihood for inspection drawing interpretation error. Wouldn’t it be ideal if the manufacturing and inspection [...]

Mold Making with Formlabs 3D Printers

By |2020-07-15T08:20:45-04:00July 15th, 2020|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, FormLabs|0 Comments

This post will explore 3D printing for mold making using Formlabs 3D printers. Mold making with desktop 3D printing allows engineers to expand their prototyping toolkit. It opens up a world of production materials, offering the ability to make short-run batches and to test designs before larger-scale production. Three types of molding strategies can be applied with Formlabs. These include injection molding, thermoforming, and casting elastomers. The Form 3 can print inexpensive injection molds to [...]
