Elektor engineer Saad Imtiaz shares his workflow for designing 3D-printed enclosures using tools like SolidWorks, Onshape, ...
Building hot rods remained basically the same for decades, with tried-and-true “old school” methods being used to create increasingly complex builds. Computers really changed the game, allowing things ...
A new open-source tool is reshaping how engineers design multi-material objects. Charles Wade, a Ph.D. student in the ...
A new open-source software tool is changing the way engineers design and print complex 3D objects. Developed at the University of Colorado Boulder, the program—called OpenVCAD—lets users easily design ...
Understanding the basic limitations of 3D printing will allow issues to be corrected before they are submitted for an analysis and a quote. While 3D printing has a reputation for offering an infinite ...
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) says it recently published an updated standard based largely on research by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and it ...
Researchers have developed a generative CAD system specifically for 3D printing. Generative CAD tools have been around for several years, and they are fun to use. They’re quite different from normal ...
