Product design has evolved over the years to include much more than just designing a 3D model. Controlling part revisions, collaboration, analysis, light weighting, drawings and more are now just some of the tasks in product design. Tools for product design have become better with increased functionality and interoperability with each other. Unfortunately, for many…

Inspection for Additive Manufacturing Composite materials are increasingly used to create products with significant advantages over traditional alternatives, but simply replicating an existing design in a new material squanders the potential. Composite materials are anisotropic, meaning that the properties are not the same in all directions and axes, and this provides enormous flexibility to optimize…

If you own or work in a job shop with CAM software whose maintenance is expensive, and getting pricier, you should consider Fusion 360. It may be able to replace some or all of your current CAD/CAM systems in use. Where it makes sense in your workflow, implement Fusion 360 for a solution that is both…

Connecting your entire organization makes good sense for any business, and fabrication shops are no exception. Managers are more effective when they can see all operations, from design to distribution, in one system. This leads to faster decision-making, more efficient processing and fewer mistakes. That’s why more and more manufacturing companies are connecting their manufacturing solutions…
