Creating Multiple Section Planes in a Single Command using Control X
In this blog post, we are going to demonstrate the creation of multiple section planes in a single 2D Section command using Control X. In a recent blog post, we created two planes where one passed through the center points of two holes and the second was a linear distance offset, away from the first. Now, we are going to explain how to create a new plane that is parallel to Section A-A where we can capture geometry from Section A-A plus capture and dimension an additional section slicing through the groove cross-section. To start off, first, turn off the color map so section A-A is easier to see. Then you can enter the 2D Cross-Sectioning tool and tell Control X you would like to create a cross-section, using the plane labeled as Section A-A. Select the Base Plane option and then select the plane called Section A-A. Your goal is to dimension this cross-section by constructing an additional plane somewhere that crosses the groove. Just remember that you can resize the plane to limit what is shown in the cross-section. Next, select the Multiple Cutting Plane checkbox and draw a line representing the second section plane for this exercise. The length of [...]
Introducing the NEW UltiMaker Method XL 3D Printer!
Precision printing. Industrial Scale. The Method XL bridges the gap between desktop and industrial printers, providing a perfect fusion of accessibility and performance. Meticulously engineered to create large, accurate parts, this groundbreaking 3D printer utilizes industrial-grade materials that match the precision of industrial production. With its expansive build volume, exceptional dimensional accuracy, and temperature-controlled build chamber, the Method XL can create durable and complex parts with ease. Extra Large Build Volume: Print large engineering parts with ease. Precise Temperature Control: Both the heated build plate and the actively heated build chamber combine to create a stable environment for printing accurate parts of any size. Integrated Air Filters: Exhaust air from the Method XL passes through both HEPA and carbon filters. 5-in-1 Modular Extruders: Quickly change between material groups, preventing cross-contamination. Water-Soluble Supports: Print manufacturing tools and production parts to spec with ABS and a game-changing water-soluble support material that dissolves quickly and easily in tap water. Ultra-Rigid Metal Frame: A structurally-optimized metal frame runs the full length of the body to offset flexing. Less flexing means more consistent prints with better part accuracy and fewer failures. More Details
Mastercam Machine Simulation Benefits
Machine simulation creates a virtual representation of a CAM program that mirrors exactly what will happen on the CNC machine. Basically, it creates a model of the cutting process that you can follow in real-time. It shows the workpiece, tools, and fixtures as well as how they interact with each other, highlighting any points at which a mistake will be made. This blog will walk you through the three biggest benefits of using machine simulation when you program your CNC parts. Experiment with different manufacturing strategies to find the most efficient process With machine simulation, there is no need to tie up a machine or waste material doing prove-outs. Users can determine which machining approach results in the fastest, highest quality parts just by clicking a few buttons. The first thing programmers should analyze in their simulation is their fixturing. Is there any redundancy? Is this option the best one available for this particular part? Is there a way to change the fixturing so that one or multiple setups are eliminated? After they decide on a fixture, they can then break down their code. In almost any program, there is room for improvement. Often, multiple toolpaths can be rolled into one. Consider Dynamic [...]
