New Metal 3D Printing Process

By Cimquest Marketing|2017-12-22T08:22:38-05:00August 23rd, 2017|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg|

Bound Metal Deposition Uses MIM to Create New Metal 3D Printing Process by Dave Macfie and Shawn Spinneweber, Cimquest The advent of metal 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, has promised to dramatically change the way products are made. The benefits are: the reduction or elimination of up-front tooling and increased complexity due to the removal of conventional manufacturing constraints which lead to shorter lead times, part consolidation, and weight reduction. Today, metals represent [...]

3D Printing for Low Volume Production

By Cimquest Marketing|2017-12-22T08:24:17-05:00August 18th, 2017|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg|

Companies in certain industries sometimes require customized end-use parts, used to either replace older parts or improve upon infrastructure. While necessary, the cost and time barriers associated with one-off parts can cause for engineering teams to postpone or even eliminate projects altogether. Siemans Mobility based in Germany develops technology for vehicles and infrastructure for transport machines. The unique needs of their customer base demands innovation in low run manufacturing. One of their customers, The SWU [...]

FDM Thermoform Tooling: What It Is and Why It Works

By Cimquest Marketing|2017-12-22T08:24:49-05:00August 16th, 2017|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg|

A kitting tray 3D printed using thermoformed plastics. There’s a good chance you interact with multiple thermoformed products on a daily basis, whether that be in your grocery store, your car, or probably even your fridge. But what does it mean if something is thermoformed? Thermoforming is a conventional plastics forming process where heat is used to bring a sheet of plastic to its sagging point, or when it becomes pliable. The heat [...]

Additive Manufacturing Changes How We Think About Design

By Cimquest Marketing|2017-12-22T08:25:48-05:00August 9th, 2017|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, Stratasys|

As 3D printing has become more and more mainstream, the traditional resource and skills barriers for manufacturing are all but vanishing. This trend is changing the very face of design. For the first time, producing complex products is no more difficult, expensive, or time-consuming than making simpler objects. 3D printing a block with holes, notches, and rounded edges is as approachable as printing a solid block once was. The 3D printers give designers unprecedented control [...]

CMM Inspection without a Master Part

By Cimquest Marketing|2017-12-28T09:06:07-05:00August 7th, 2017|Categories: 2 Minute Tuesdays, 3D Scanning / Reverse Engineering, CQTV|

https://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/zuzbx0s6fj?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640 Automated CMM's typically require a master part data set when performing CMM inspection on hundreds (or thousands!) of the same part. But what if a master part is not available? Today we show how to manually capture measurements on the fly with Verisurf and the CMM Master.
