Metrology Minute – Airfoil Analysis
Exporting Airfoil Analysis Data to a Spreadsheet Using Control X
When working with Control X, you often find yourself needing the data that is generated by the software to be exported in a usable form rather than just a static report. In this post, we are going to show you how we analyzed a machined airfoil. Using this machined airfoil below as an example, suppose we wanted to analyze its contour directly at the end face.
Why Every University Needs a Studio System Metal 3D Printer
It is critical educational institutions include technologies like metal 3D printing in curricula to give them hands-on experience with disruptive technology and avoid leaving students at a disadvantage as they enter the workforce.
Metal additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is revolutionizing industries by enabling the creation of complex parts with intricate geometries that were once impossible to produce using traditional methods. Creating components […]
