Design Guidelines for 3D Printing Tech

Image
 The fact that the digital design is going to become a physical object in future is of paramount value.  "Anything can be drawn in 3D on a digital canvas, but not everything can be printed three dimensionally." There are various 3D printing processes in use in today's industrial world and each of those processes has its own design limitations.  Here are some important guidelines you need to keep in mind while designing parts for 3D printing.  Material Guidelines Each and every printing material is different. Materials can be brittle or strong, flexible or solid, smooth or rough, heavy or light, and so on. This also means that an object should ideally be designed for a specific material. For example, if you know that you want to print your 3D model in Steel, there will be specific material-related design recommendations that you need to take into account such as supporting overhanging parts, strengthening elements that are sticking out, rounding off c...

Jigs & Fixtures using 3D Printing

Image
Maximizing production efficiency and productivity is a key concern for manufacturers. Jigs and fixtures are manufacturing aids used to increase the reliability, accuracy and quality of the manufacturing process, whilst minimizing production cycle times and improving worker safety. Fundamentally, the purpose of jigs, fixtures and manufacturing aids is to provide an accurate, repeatable and interchangeable manufacturing process, whilst reducing production time and human error. JIG The jig is used for guiding the cutting tool (like a drill bit), and for doing so, jigs have components like a bush, which comes in contact with the cutting tool.  FIXTURE Fixtures assure the position and alignment of the work pieces for getting the required machining operation done. BREAKING THE CUSTOM -  Jigs & Fixtures using 3D Printing The manufacturing of these components till now has been a hectic task involving precise assembling of the heavy sub -components. But now, the industry i...

How to choose between the two variants of the car ?

In this post we are going to discuss the points that we all should keep in  mind while going to add a new car to the garage. While planning to buy a new car we might have thought of the features that our car should possess. e.g. the luxury features, the size, the design and color and other more features. But when it comes to the fuel type of the vehicle, most of us fail to pick the correct one and then face maintenance and other issues. So below are some points that you should keep in mind to choose the right fuel option according to your needs.     Pros of diesel Financial : diesel engines are more efficient and use 15−20% less fuel meaning cheaper running costs. Environmental : lower CO2 emissions. Driving experien ce: diesel cars offer more low-speed torque which means they have better overtaking power and towing ability. Cons of diesel Financial : diesel cars usually cost more than petrol. Diesel fuel is more expensive than petrol and servicing or fixing...

DIFFERENT TYPES OF CARS

Image
For the uninitiated, the world of automobiles and its linguistics can often be puzzling. While the automotive industry's jargon is vast and seemingly unending, we hope to acquaint you with the most vital terms in reference to car types with this post. # HATCHBACK # SEDAN # MPV # SUV # CROSSOVER # COUPE # CONVERTIBLE # STATION WAGON Here's a basic definations of the above mentioned ! 1. HATCHBACK  A  hatchback  is a car with a hatch-type rear door that opens upwards  and often a shared volume for the passenger and cargo areas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatchback 2. SEDAN a.k.a SALOON The current definition of a sedan is a car with a closed body (i.e. a fixed metal roof) with the engine, passengers and cargo in separate compartments.This broad definition does not differentiate sedans from various other car body styles, but in practice the typical characteristics of sedans are: a  B-pillar  (between the front ...

HISTORY OF THE AUTOMOBILE

Image
The early  history of the automobile  can be divided into a number of eras, based on the prevalent means of propulsion. Later periods were defined by trends in exterior styling, size, and utility preferences. In 1769 the first steam-powered  automobile  capable of human transportation was built by Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot. In 1808, François Isaac de Rivaz designed the first car powered by an internal combustion engine fueled by hydrogen. In 1870 Siegfried Marcus built the first gasoline powered combustion engine, which he placed on a pushcart, building four progressively sophisticated combustion-engine cars over a 10-to-15-year span that influenced later cars. Marcus created the two-cycle combustion engine.  The car's second incarnation in 1880 introduced a four-cycle, gasoline-powered engine, an ingenious carburetor design and magneto ignition. He created an addition...
