Normal is a company in New York City that is using 3D printing to develop a gadget that many of us rely on every day - earphones. Earphones are a cherished component of smartphones, mp3 players, tablets, and computers. In the earphones industry, there are a wide variety of options available, ranging in size, shape, material, and sound quality. But even with this abundance of choices, it can be difficult to find a comfortable pair that [...]
In Mastercam X9, tangent edges of adjacent faces can be linked to produce 2D and 3D cuts. Edge chaining even works with 2D dynamic cutting, and these advancements make your job easier by eliminating timely steps. http://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/z368lfzzdv?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640

We are so very proud and excited to have been awarded "Top US Reseller" award from CNC Software for 2015. In addition, Cimquest ranked as the #4 Reseller worldwide, which is pretty crazy. Congratulations to the entire team at Cimquest! Cimquest has gone through some drastic changes over the past couple of years and feel that we have sharpened our focus on manufacturing and are now bigger, better, and stronger than we have even been. Of course, [...]
Robotic arms carry out a wide range of functions in this modern age of manufacturing. The end of arm tool (EAOT) of a robot is the key piece which engages with an object, for example through gripping or welding. With FDM technology, companies can now produce custom end of arm tools tailored to sophisticated applications and processes, at a fraction of the cost.
SolidWorks 2016 offers an improved interface with a balanced color scheme and flexible customization. It supports high pixel density displays and will respond to Microsoft Windows scale settings. For information on all of Cimquest's solutions, visit https://cimquest-inc.com/
Let’s explore investment casting and how FDM tooling can be employed in this distinctive process. Investment casting, also known as lost wax casting, is a centuries old process used to produce metal components with intricate geometries and precise details. In this process, molten metal is poured into a ceramic cavity, which is formed by a wax pattern. The wax pattern is dipped into a ceramic slurry, and then melted out once the ceramic shell hardens. [...]
(Excerpt taken from an article on www.machinedesign.com) Additive manufacturing allows engineers to test and make design adjustments without a capital investment in hard tooling. The lack of tooling makes it ideal for one-off parts like custom manufacturing aids. Two of the more popular 3D printing processes used in the creation of manufacturing aids are Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Laser Sintering (LS). FDM deposits heated filament, similar to a hot glue gun. FDM can create [...]
