Upcoming Mastercam Training Classes at Cimquest
Cimquest offers comprehensive training solutions for Mastercam at our office locations in NJ, MA, PA, NY and CT. Here are some of the upcoming classes that will be held next month. Mill Essentials When & Where March 14-17 at Cimquest Corporate in Brachburg, NJ Description Our Instructor will mentor you in the basics of Mastercam icon functions, geometry and tool path creation that will lead to you to programming many different parts from start to finish. You will learn the foundational principles of basic 2½ axis tool paths and build upon them by programming many real world examples to develop your abilities. You will be able to create and work with basic 2D wireframe and then import and manipulate Solid models for tool path creation in drilling cycles, advanced pocketing, helical entry and the use of dynamic milling. Last you will be able to program rotary axis substitution and index units. Details Mill Essentials covers the following topics: Mastercam Interface and layout Creating/Modifying 2D wireframe geometry 2D drafting (notes, dimensions, etc.) Transforming geometry (rotate, scale, etc.) Levels control Creating and manipulating Solid Models Preparing to Machine – machine definition and properties Tool Path Utilities – toolpath manager, verify, back plot and posting 2D [...]
Stratasys Custom Materials Development
Custom Materials Development Enables Printed Parts for Aerospace that are Electrostatic Discharge Safe. By Scott Sevcik, Director, Aerospace & Defense Business Development, Stratasys Once a satellite is launched, there is no way to fix something that breaks. That drives the need for incredibly high reliability in an extreme environment. Temperatures can range from -150°C to +150°C within an hour, there is no air flow, and electrostatic charges can build up very quickly. An electrostatic discharge can damage or destroy the sensitive electronics required to operate the satellite, leaving a very expensive piece of space trash behind. All of these environmental extremes need to be planned for and addressed in the design of spacecraft equipment. The traditional advantages of additive manufacturing for aerospace – namely, reduced weight and increased design freedom – have led spacecraft and launch vehicle companies to ask Stratasys for help in addressing these challenging environments with 3D printing materials that can meet the extreme temperatures of space without risking electrostatic discharge. This avionics box, 3D printed with Stratasys ESD PEKK material, can dissipate electrical charge buildup without relying on post-processing steps to prepare the production part. To meet the growing demand for material solutions in high requirements industries, [...]
Consumer Product Innovations Driven by Stratasys
The legendary Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has served as the proving ground for innovators and breakthrough technologies for more than 40 years. This year, CES hosted over 3,600 companies across 2.4 million square feet in Las Vegas. Many of the custom accessories on the Ladybird were prototyped and tested with 3D printed parts from Stratasys. Upon entering the Stratasys booth, visitors were immersed in a world where top-tier consumer electronics companies delivered their products to market faster and at a lower cost using 3D printing. One display that was a real stand-out was the Ladybird motorcycle from KlockWerks. This custom Triumph Thunderbird was equipped with several durable FDM 3D printed parts to test for form, fit and function. The saddle bags were 3D printed and mounted on the bike as functional prototypes. The windshield was 3D printed and used for testing wind effects before final production. The bike also featured custom rings around the speakers and a phone mount prototype that connects to the handle bars, all 3D printed to test design iterations and fit before final production. “If it wasn’t for Stratasys and their 3D printing technology, this Ladybird motorcycle would not be a reality,” said Brian Klock, president of [...]
