Radius gauges can be used to measure radius values in reverse engineering. However, how can you acquire accurate measurements if a fillet face is distorted or if the value is not constant along the edge? This video shows a tool in Design X that can measure variable fillets in a few simple steps. http://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/ntg0mdrrd7?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640

There is a powerful new tool in Mastercam 2017 that makes your lathe program setup faster than ever before. It is called Align Solid Body. In previous versions we would have used transform or plane functions that, while extremely powerful, were still designed for general use with all the Mastercam products, which could be confusing. The new Align Solid Body tool instantly gets the job done with a few simple clicks. The 3D solid model [...]
3D Printing is not disruptive. I’ll admit I see how the term came about. Subverting the status quo, hacking our minds and disrupting stagnant industries have become battlecries–and for good reason. Those can all be important topics and help us keep thinking of fresh ways to approach problems. But personally, I don’t think we have to be so obnoxious or contentious about it. We don’t have to go into companies, slam the big red button, [...]
Stratasys FDM 3D Printed prototype part on left is tested for form, fit and function before final part (on right) is produced Established in 1975, in Valence, France, SODIMAS designs and manufactures high end custom elevators. SODIMAS solutions can be adapted to all architectural styles and projects due to the quality of the materials used and their carefully designed finishing. “Because SODIMAS is focused on the niche elevator business, developing relatively small series [...]
