Productivity Assessment Is your team missing deadlines? Does this cause your company to lose future projects? Are your SOLIDWORKS users not performing as efficiently as possible? It may be time to look at your current processes, design practices, or even your...
Custom tooling to aid in manufacturing is a common practice used across industries regardless of whether you're turning out otoscopes, jet engine components, or heavy machinery. Using 3D printing to create tooling is a new and growing application because of the design...
Where to begin? 3D printing has been a game changer for companies that rely on physical prototypes to inform design decisions. In almost all cases, rapid prototyping technologies can offer: Faster than traditional manufacturingMore cost-effective prototypesFewer...

My budget doesn't allow for any molding rework. How can I be sure I get it right the first time? Up-front costs of molds are pretty expensive, ranging from $10-100k. So, when there is an error, recreating a model is very resource-draining both in dollars and time. Too...
How virtual simulation saved the day by drastically reducing the number of physical prototypes needed. We're Getting Too Old For This We are a small shop but we're lean and mean with less than 5 full-time engineers on staff and like everyone these days, we're trying...
3D printing has broad-reaching applications in the medical field, and the most significant impact will come as the use of 3D printed surgical models continues to grow. Israeli scientists have successfully separated conjoined twins who were attached at the head, and...
The Goal: Being able to touch your product design, hold it, use it, and most importantly, share it with the world... at a profit of course! It always starts with a good idea. A new approach to something old, an old approach to something new, or simply one of those...
