Metrology Minute – Creating and restoring a Custom View
During your inspection process, you might find an area that you would like to blow up and highlight. In the water pump example below, we wanted to create a cutaway and zoom in on the section of the circled hole region in Control X. In order to do this in Design X, you first need to add the dimensions. From there, you can turn on the View Clipping option, which is located in the Display tab down the right side of the viewing screen. After selecting Set, position the Clipping Plane Control to chop off all of the unwanted portions of the model, isolating just the portion you would like to display in your Custom Viewport. Next, select Add Viewport and a new view is created under the Custom Views section. Give the view a logical name, such as “zoom-in-holes”. This now becomes a settable viewport, selectable for placement in an inspection report or for retrieval while working on the inspection process. Please contact Joel Pollet with any questions.

Meltio Metal Additive Manufacturing Technology Gets Recognition from US DOD
A reprint from 3D Printing Industry Metal 3D printing company Meltio has been recognized as a “strategic technology partner” by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) for its metal 3D printing technology. This move strengthens Meltio’s relationship with the U.S. Army, opening opportunities with other U.S. defense departments and international armies. Additionally, out of 300 participants, Meltio received a fifth-place achievement with Phillips Corp. in the U.S. Army’s xTechInternational program showcasing its unique manufacturing and materials capabilities, positioning them for potential cash prizes and follow-on contracts. “The award we have received is a recognition to Meltio’s professionals and gives reliability to our technology. For us, the military sector is a sector that allows us to bring together all the applications of our disruptive metal 3D printing technology. And it is an opportunity for Meltio to develop a dual application for the civil and military sector. Our technology has the potential to transform different sectors thanks to metal additive manufacturing such as supply chains, logistics, repair and manufacturing of metal parts compared to other conventional techniques such as forging and machining. There are currently many armies in other countries that have Meltio’s metal additive manufacturing technology and we want to stand out as a [...]
Reproducing Legacy Auto Parts with 3D Scanning
The Audi Sport Quattro road and rally car has captivated many automotive enthusiasts since its first launch around 40 years ago. Some even call it the “legend of motorsports”. That’s why two companies passionate about motorsports decided to recreate it with the help of 3D scanning and 3D printing. On one hand, LCE Performance led the way with its long-standing experience in automotive tuning and engine technology. On the other, Downforce Racing brought its carbon-brazed part development services to the table. The teams collaborated to reproduce the Audi Sport Quattro with carbon parts and CFD simulations. Their replica looks stunning: A replicate of Audi Sport Quattro by LCE Performance The main challenge of improving the performance of the racing car In this project, the main challenge was dealing with legacy parts. Many of the race car’s original parts are no longer in production as a result of its lengthy history. Even if second-hand parts were available, they were expensive to buy and difficult to renovate. “They’re 40 years old and look shabby. I pretty much can’t refurbish them at all.” Steven from LCE Performance said. For a company wanting to focus on providing high-quality, durable parts for its customers, these poor [...]
