Most laser cutters work on a large scale and the price suggests they don't want the work! This firm started out offering small scale precision...
I am in the difficult position of being allowed to work from home part of the week, but I have to buy my own hardware! Designing large assemblies...
Don't rule out "3d printing". It's not as new as you might believe and aluminium can be laser sintered and anodized. Instead of "3d printing"...
To open your other assemblies without the part, move it to a different location and SW will open the assembly with the part shown as suppressed....
for bare components this firm is more reasonable than most: http://www.wmh-trans.co.uk/
I don't know if this is for a one-off hobby project or a product. If it is a product then have a talk to http://www.dynmetal.co.uk/ They...
I have a good answer but to probably a different question. James Dyson (for example) isn't an Engineer! No disrespect for an innovative genius...
Concept D, the feed and return are both user facing, deskspace is minimized and auto feed is possible. Concept B is an enormous waste of space and...
I have used this firm in Nottingham if a polyester or clear casting resin is suitable: http://www.grpltd.net/ How big is your component? It can...
I really don't know enough about quantum mechanics to voice an opinion on gravity motors, after all, the CERN experiments are partly focused on...
Why do we keep torturing ourselves reading this? It's like watching Steampunks trying to split the atom with a hammer and chisel! I do not...
Be very careful not to confuse Autocad with Parametric modellers like SW, Inventor etc. Learning Autocad will be almost no help if later...
If the shock is correctly rated for the applied load but suffers buckling failure, it is more likely that the combination of a wide range of...
Barneel, whatever you use, unless you design from first principles you will have to do your own calculations and risk assessment. Router...
Simplest way I can imagine is a router spindle. Depending on your requirements you can buy a Chinese product with VFD that will give you stable...
Hi Tony, changing acceleration at a constant speed is the big challenge. If you feel confident in designing a variable eccentric ( which isn't an...
On second reading, you want to be able to continuously vary the acceleration over a range, not so easy to do mechanically. I would suggest...
This is a common application used by shaker tables for concrete moulding and also vibrating screens. The common approach is to suspend a rigid...
If your concept will allow the use of plastics, the shape could be moulded in one piece with the hinge action created by the flexing of the...
I do feel a bit uneasy, "explosive decompression" is a dirty phrase? I'm hoping the pressure vessel is small, or alternatively can be...
