Changing the Way Award Trophies are Made with Stratasys PolyJet Full Color 3D Printing
| |
|
Tired of boring, generic trophies? Why not leverage Stratasys full-color PolyJet Additive Manufacturing systems to create unique awards?
It is just one example of the power of 3D Printing realistic parts. This article goes over how PADT, Inc went from a CAD model to a photorealistic rendering to a real part that looks just like the rendering.

Ansys Electronics Desktop - Twisted Litz Wire | |
|
In the 2024R1 release of Ansys Maxwell, a new feature was introduced to allow for a twisting factor to be included in Litz Wire models. This allows for a more robust solution that includes the increase in total wire length that occurs when twisting the bundles together. This article will detail how to set up the material properties and calculate the twisting length factor, and then show the difference in results between a solid wire, stranded wire, and litz wire model.

Six New’ish Text Functions in Microsoft Excel that Every Engineer Should Know
| |
|
Let’s be honest, Microsoft Excel is the most commonly used engineering software tool out there. And that is coming from a person who has used Ansys for 35+ years. It is something everyone has, and everyone can use without much effort – except for one thing. It has always been a pain to split and join text. Until now. Microsoft (finally) added some functions that have existed in almost every programming language out there for decades.

Sandia National Labs Is Propelling 3D Printing Into the Future | A team of chemists and materials scientists at Sandia is developing a new printing process that prints stronger nonmetallic materials in record time, five times faster than traditional 3D printing. The team developed SWOMP, which stands for Selective Dual-Wavelength Olefin Metathesis 3D-Printing. As indicated by its name, it uses dual-wavelength light, unlike the traditional printing process. | |  |
Axiom Space Teams with Astrolab to Advance Lunar Exploration | |
Astrolab, together with teammates Axiom Space and Odyssey Space Research, were awarded a NASA contract to advance the development of a Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV) to enable Artemis astronauts to explore more of the Moon’s surface on future missions. The Astrolab team is one of three teams to win contract awards. Astrolab’s contract is worth up to $1.9 billion.

Stratasys F900
| The Stratasys F900 is built specifically for manufacturing and heavy industries, where you plan and work big. With the largest build size of any FDM system, it’s designed to handle the most demanding manufacturing needs. | |
Using industry-leading software and optical scanners, we can create history-based parametric CAD models, create a simple solid using a mesh-to-surface converter, and even edit meshes. PADT's team does more than scan parts, we deliver usable geometry. | |

PADT Hosts Local Women in 3D Printing Meeting
PADT's seminar room was standing room only on a Tuesday night in mid-May when ASU Professor Mary Neubauer talked about the merger of art and 3D Printing for the local Wi3DP chapter. It was a fantastic look at how additive manufacturing can be used in so many unexpected ways and how it opens the door to creativity.

The Latest Definition from PADT's 3D Printing Glossary | |
|
|
|
An inspection technique where sensors are placed inside an additive manufacturing system’s build volume to measure different aspects of the build process while it is taking place. Infrared cameras are usually used to capture precise temperature values across each build layer over time.
This provides detailed feedback on the process and part as it is constructed. Some additive manufacturing systems use this information to modify build parameters in real-time, others to detect flaws or problems with the build or the final part. The data can also be combined over multiple builds to improve processes.
Also called in situ inspection and is most common in powder bed fusion systems.
