3D Printed Drone with Embedded Electronics Flies Where Others Can’t

By |2017-02-03T08:08:00-05:00February 3rd, 2017|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, Stratasys|0 Comments

Can embedded electronics be combined with 3D printing in a high-temperature environment to produce a super heat-resistant drone? Ido Elyon and Stanley Leung of Stratasys Asia Pacific approached PhD student Phillip Keane, who had already successfully launched a CubeSat company, to try to answer this question. Keane is researching applications of ULTEM 9085, Stratasys’ traceable, aerospace-grade, high-strength FDM 3D printing material, at the Singapore Centre for 3D Printing at NTU (Nanyang Technological University) Singapore. The [...]

Silicone Molding Workshop – Beyond the Build Plate

By |2017-02-01T08:26:10-05:00February 1st, 2017|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, News / Promos|0 Comments

On February 9th, Cimquest and MakerBot are hosting an interactive post-processing workshop. The event will walk you through the process of creating silicone molds around 3D printed masters. By attending, you will gain knowledge on how to apply this to your product development process. You'll also get to take home your final part, as well as the mold, master, and a supplies kit so you can repeat the process on your own. Watch the video [...]

Convert Features to Bodies and Surfaces – SolidWorks 2017

By |2017-01-30T16:14:14-05:00January 30th, 2017|Categories: 2 Minute Tuesdays, CQTV, SolidWorks 2MT|0 Comments

http://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/5ffgbnt8gk?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640 This enhancement allows you to remove the feature history in a part, while retaining geometric references in the assembly. This provides a quick way to share your concept or final design to others, without revealing the techniques that you used to get you there.

Cimqust 3D Prints Blue Man Group-Inspired Colorful Tubulum

By |2017-01-27T08:31:39-05:00January 27th, 2017|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg|0 Comments

If you’ve ever watched the Blue Man Group perform, you may have wondered about the series of tubes they strike to create percussive yet melodic notes. It’s called a tubulum, and it’s in the same family of instruments as a xylophone or vibraphone, only it utilizes hollow tubes to create music. The Blue Man Group’s giant tubulum was built from PVC pipes, but we realized that we could create the same effect through 3D printing. [...]

3D Printed Medical Models

By |2017-01-25T08:40:44-05:00January 25th, 2017|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, Stratasys|0 Comments

3D printed medical models have come a long way in helping doctors in their approach to specific surgical procedures. If there is one area where 3D printing excels and that is the best demonstration of unique complex geometry and high value, it is probably medical applications. Every person has a unique body composition and therefore custom solutions and treatments must be tailored to different individuals. A patient of the Jacobs institute was diagnosed with a [...]

Inspect Freeform Surfaces

By |2017-01-20T09:01:43-05:00January 20th, 2017|Categories: 3D Scanning|0 Comments

There are various types of dial indicators and other manual gauges that can be used to inspect freeform surfaces and determine if they are within tolerance. However, inspecting surface profile tolerances can be quite challenging when you are measuring freeform surfaces. One solution for this scenario is utilizing Verisurf software along with the CMM Master. In Verisurf, you can define the Geometric Characteristic, the Tolerance Zone Size, and add the Datum References called out on [...]
