In this blog post we'll go over some of the benefits to installing on-machine probing to your CNC machines. What is probing? Probing is the process of measuring the physical geometrical characteristics of a CNC machine or machined part in a X, Y & Z motion, capturing that data and translating it to the CNC machine for offset information or part geometry inspection. It enables programmers and machinists to establish best practice for maximizing the [...]
You can’t solve an 80-year-old problem with 80-year-old technology. Take stereo speakers, for example. Conventionally designed and manufactured speakers almost universally suffer from some level of “back wave” distortion; this occurs when the audio signals fired to the back of the speaker bounce off the cabinet walls and interfere with the signals sent to the front of the speaker. In the 3D printed Aleph1 speaker design, sound travels in a perpetual self-feeding loop, preventing [...]

reposted from www.deskeng.com Color 3D printing showed its promise years ago. But there was a gap between promise and bloom. Early color 3D prints had color, sure, yet they lacked the vibrancy of a Cassius Marcellus Coolidge oil. Often parts were paint-by-numbers garish or dreary like the piping on a frozen cake. Objet multi-material, multi-color 3D printers from Stratasys changed that for the better with bright, deep colors. Today’s Pick of the Week, however, is [...]
A broadly used non-reactive compound, LSR is a perfect seal material for aerospace, automotive and consumer components. Through PolyJet technology, companies can now 3D print highly detailed LSR molds to be be used for functional testing and low-run production. Compared to manual casting methods, PolyJet can save significant time and labor while providing the same quality and details of production-grade LSR. http://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/16vlznveng?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640
There are many unique advantages of the Stratasys PolyJet Rigur 3D Printing Material and when it is combined with Tango rubber-like materials they make a powerful combo. Watch the video below to see Sam Green from Stratasys Materials explain the unique advantages. Together, these materials can produce a range of versatile prototyping options that can satisfy all prototyping requirements from concept modeling to advanced functional prototyping. Special Promotion From now until the end of March [...]
