�History of Rapid Prototyping:

solidwild@live.ca — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 03:00:00 +0100

Sixties: The first rapid prototyping techniques became accessible in the later eighties and they were used for production of prototype and model parts. The history of rapid prototyping can be traced to the late sixties, when an engineering professor, Herbert Voelcker, questioned himself about the possibilities of doing interesting things with the computer controlled and automatic mac [...]

KeyTronicEMS Provides Turn-Key Molds

ebarnes@keytronicems.com — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 03:00:00 +0100

With many molding companies having to downsize staff in their moldshops the idea of purchasing turn-key tooling has started to catch on as a way to stay lean.

KeyTronicEMS provides fully tested and proven molds that will provide production parts the first day you set them in your press. Plastics Manufacturing Engineers at KeyTronicEMS work with our customers from final part design evaluation to production. Your staff is welcome to attend mold try-outs at our tooling a [...]

In addition to learning how to run the EOS P385 SLS machine, I have learned to run older 3D Systems SLA250 machines, compression molds, and a little urethane casting. I am getting ready to learn to operate the SONY 9000D SLA machine; amazing build envelope and very touchy. I am also embarking on a rather complicated Warhammer 40K diorama, of which about 90% will be scratch-built.

Consumer RP Applications

This Christmas we are launching a very interesting application for 3D printing by letting consumers create their own stuff at www.jujups.com . We believe that this is just a beginning for very interesting possibilities

Reverse Engineering

mts.rajesh@gmail.com — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 03:00:00 +0100

As I have already made myself comfortable in using FDM, I wanted to do something in Reverse engineering method. I scanned a duck toy in my lab and created surface using rapidform. This took almost 5 hours for me to do this. Though its easy as this is my first attempt it took some time for me. But i enjoyed doing it. Now my model is ready to give it to FDM. People who are doing research using Reverse Engineering jus share their views. It will be interesting for me to do something in it.

Hi People,

I did my Bachelors in Mechatronics Engineering from India. Even during my sophomore year during bachelors I was interested in Manufacturing field.Then I decided to do something in Rapid prototyping. So, soo [...]

First Blog

I recently started work at a prototype shop in Menlo Park, Ca.. It is a dream job, I am learning about: SLA, SLS, compression molds, casting, and finising. I spend about half my day building models.

We have the Sony 9000d prototype machine. Awesome. That's all I can say about it.

The SLS is amazing, 'living' parts right out of the machine. Make a hinge, take it out, and put it to use. Moving parts inside other moving parts. this is great.

In between [...]
