Additive Manufacturing provides RUSTIN with Production Efficiencies
For many years RUSTIN has deployed traditional design and manufacturing techniques to develop prototypes and final parts for customers, as well as for its own internal production line tooling requirements. In more recent times, the company has faced challenges to increase the efficiency of these applications and introduce more flexibility into production. To achieve this…
Improving Material Handling Machinery Development with DraftSight Enterprise
Young Industries relies on DraftSight software to perform 2D-related tasks during the development of its material handling machinery, including modification of legacy drawings, creation of simple layouts or sketches, and development of P&IDs (piping and instrumentation diagrams). Challenge: Optimize the use of 2D and 3D design tools to boost productivity and advance the development of…
Powersports Athlete Amputee Designs Prosthetic to Stay in the Game
BioDapt builds high performance prosthetic with SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD and SOLIDWORKS Simulation software, to be used for snowboarding, skiing, cycling, off-road motorcycling, ATV, weight training, horseback riding, and water sports. After surviving a snowmobile crash, powersports athlete Mike Schultz’s left leg was amputated three inches above the knee. What would have been a career-ending accident…
Applications of 3D Printed Heterogeneous Microstructures
A microstructure is the small-scale porous structure of any material, which can typically be viewed only through magnification. The microstructure of a material, whether metal, polymer, or ceramic, can determine physical properties like weight distribution, flexibility, and strength. Microstructure optimization can occur naturally; human bones, for example, are made up of complex structures that make…
