As an engineering designer, there is a lot to be said for keeping a design simple. Just because you can achieve more complex shapes and more precision does not mean that your part needs it, and often costs you more. This insight provides tips on designing for 3 axis CNC machining.
Metal parts have always been the gold standard in applications, so it may come as surprising that many industries are now replacing metal parts with plastic injection-moulded ones. This video looks at some reasons for this including, weight, finishes, strength, longevity, recyclability, cost.
Getting the right material is just as important as how the part is machined, the wrong decision can cost money. This video will go through some key CNC materials, looking in detail at their costs, characteristics and how to create your own shortlist.
What is 3D printing? This article goes over the basics of 3D printing, otherwise known as additive manufacturing, covering its engineering principles and applications.
