Make Functional Prototypes More Economically

By |2016-12-15T14:30:58-05:00June 17th, 2016|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, Stratasys|

You can make functional prototypes much more economically by using 3D printed injection molds. One of the most dramatic impacts of 3D printing on design and manufacturing is with injection molding. Companies such as Seuffer, Unilever, Arad Group and Whale report significant savings in molding costs and production time by 3D printing injection molds to test designs before mass production and produce small quantities of custom parts.

SolidWorks 2016 Bidirectional Sweep

By |2016-12-15T14:30:59-05:00June 8th, 2016|Categories: SOLIDWORKS, Tech Tips|

There’s a new enhancement to the sweep function in SolidWorks 2016 that will allow you to create sweeps for a mid-path profile in either direction or bidirectional. In previous versions of SolidWorks, a profile had to sweep the entire length of the path, no matter the location of the profile sketch. This is no longer the case. Now mid-path profiles can be swept using direction 1, direction 2, or both directions. This simple part (below) [...]

Artistic Visions and 3D Printing

By |2016-12-15T14:30:59-05:00June 1st, 2016|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, Stratasys|

Art and design have certainly benefited from the 3D printing world and its liberating capabilities. Artists with 3D printers have been producing some unique geometries, seemingly “impossible” shapes, and unprecedented combinations of color and materials for many years. The release of the new Stratasys J750 multicolor3D printer has opened up even more new doors in the artistic worlds.  In this blog article we will showcase the work of one ground-breaking 3D artist named Jose Sanchez. “Polyomino” is [...]

New 3D Technology

By |2016-12-15T14:30:59-05:00May 27th, 2016|Categories: Technology|

Magic Leap is an augmented reality headset developer that is working on technology that is a totally different concept from all the other AR and VR platforms that are out there. Magic Leap’s advisors, Boston-area serial entrepreneur Jon Hirschtick (most recently the founder of Cambridge 3D CAD software firm Onshape) stated, “When people say ‘Magic Leap’s 3D looks really better than others,’ they assume it’s better because it’s higher-resolution. Like how a new iPhone looks [...]
