Lead Time Reductions with Stratasys Additive Manufacturing

By |2016-12-15T14:31:02-05:00February 1st, 2016|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, Stratasys|

Germany-based, Hamburg Ship Model Basin (HSVA), has significantly reduced the time and cost to produce bespoke prototype ship model components since introducing Stratasys additive manufacturing technology. Having previously outsourced its 3D printing requirements, HSVA realized that further time-savings and cost reductions could be achieved by bringing the technology in-house. Following the installation of the Objet Eden350V, the company has been able to quickly and cost-effectively produce strong, high performance plastic prototype parts while upholding its [...]

3D Printing End of Arm Tools

By |2016-12-15T14:31:02-05:00January 27th, 2016|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg|

Robotic arms carry out a wide range of functions in this modern age of manufacturing. With FDM technology, companies can now produce custom end of arm tools tailored to sophisticated applications and processes, at a fraction of the cost. Robotic arms carry out a comprehensive range of tasks, including material handling, sorting, palletizing, transporting, and even inspecting or machining. The EAOT of a robot is the key piece, which interacts with an object, for example [...]

SolidWorks 2016 – Selection Breadcrumb

By |2016-12-15T14:31:02-05:00January 26th, 2016|Categories: Tech Tips|

There is a new feature in the design interface of SolidWorks 2016 called “Selection Breadcrumbs” that will allow you to select a part or feature in the graphics area and then refine that selection through the context-based representation of the item, or the “trail of breadcrumbs” connected to the selection. Take this assembly made up of 4 mated parts. When you select a face, you can see all of the mates of the component that [...]

Mastercam Dynamic Motion Quick Tip

By |2016-12-15T14:31:02-05:00January 25th, 2016|Categories: Mastercam|

Quick tip: use Dynamic Motion technology along with simulation so that you can confidently run your machines at the highest possible cycles without stressing tools and equipment or damaging parts. Toolpaths that incorporate Dynamic Motion technology do not cut blindly, but are "aware" of the condition of the material during every stage of machining. They use this intelligence to automatically adjust feeds and speeds to avoid burying the tool. Cutting is done at high speeds [...]
