Innovation in Metal 3D Printing: A Look into Our Thriving Partnership with Xact Metal

By |2024-02-08T10:49:16-05:00February 7th, 2024|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, XactMetal|

While the growth of larger players in the metal 3D printing industry has plateaued during the last year, Cimquest’s metal 3DP business has grown 69% year over year. Some of the reasons for that growth are largely due to the popularity of Xact Metal’s printers and the relationship they cultivate with their customers and resellers. Xact Metal offers a unique value proposition; a high quality, easy-to-implement machine that is an excellent entry point into metal [...]

Utilizing Construction Features for Theoretical Intersections in Control X

By |2024-02-07T08:33:51-05:00February 7th, 2024|Categories: Technology|

Inspection drawings will often have dimensions created to a theoretical intersection. What this means is that the dimension references one or more points in space that aren’t physically on the model. What do you do in situations like this? Let's explore this in the example below. Using the screenshot below, let's assume that we need to dimension to locations in space where these lines would theoretically intersect if extended. Below you can see the theoretical [...]

What’s the Value of a Multi-purpose Tool Like Metal Binder Jet 3D Printing?

By |2024-02-02T08:26:42-05:00February 2nd, 2024|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, Desktop Metal|

Just like there’s no one tool to fit every job, 3D printing isn’t a panacea that’s right for every job either. And while the benefits of binder jet 3D printing can often be measured – customers routinely reduce the weight of their parts by 30 – 40% using our technology – much of the return on investment (ROI) of binder jetting lies in the complex intangibles and specific applications, or where one operates in the supply chain.

Freeform Plus – Transitioning Mesh to Voxel- 2 Minute Tuesday

By |2024-01-29T16:01:42-05:00January 29th, 2024|Categories: 2 Minute Tuesdays, 3D Scanning, 3d Scanning & Reverse Engineering, CQTV|

In this week's 2 Minute Tuesday, we are going to examine how you can transition from a mesh model to a voxel model in Oqton's Freeform Plus. Specifically, we will import a mesh file of a leg into the software, convert it into a clay model, also known as a voxel model, and demonstrate some of the Deform Shape tools within the product.

3D Printing Helps Preserve A Saber-Toothed Salmon

By |2024-01-26T08:33:09-05:00January 26th, 2024|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg|

Reprint from OPB  A saber-toothed salmon, as depicted by artist Ray Troll. The mural is part of the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History. - University of Oregon For years, museum conservators and paleontologists have yearned for a way to duplicate fragile fossils without damaging them. Now scientists with the University of Oregon say they have found a way to do just that, with the help of a relatively inexpensive [...]
