3D Printers Under $4000 Compared for Industrial Usage
"The 3D Printer market is exploding. With dozens of affordable 3D printers, arbitrary categories, endless specifications and variations, how do you choose the device that will best meet your industrial 3D printing needs?" By Brad Strong and Todd Reade The 3D printer...
3D Printing Priorities
Recent survey results from a 2017 Sculpteo survey highlighted the top priorities of 3D printing for the industrial sector, in terms of what they want to achieve with 3D printing. It seemed to us that these 3D printing priorities implied that they are also benefits of...

Materials and Mass Properties
This article will demonstrate how materials are applied to models in TransMagic R12, and how parts and assemblies can then be interrogated for Mass Properties. Mass properties are particularly useful if you are generating quotes or estimates, and need to know the...
Assembly Restructuring
Assembly Restructuring allows you to work with the parts you have and restructure components as necessary to fit your design or manufacturing objectives. Being able to restructure assemblies gives you viewing and functional flexibility, even if you no longer have...
CAD Atomization
CAD Atomization refers to the process of converting whole assemblies to separate, independent parts. This is a one-button process which can be used for both CAD and polygonal output. 3D printing houses can use Atomize to output all parts in an assembly to STL. If you...
PMI Data Extraction
Part Manufacturing Information (PMI) is critical data that was formerly regulated to drawings, and is now available as a component of 3D CAD models. Dimensions, GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) and notes provide the detailed criteria that make effective...
CAD Data Extraction
As mentioned in last week’s article, CAD files are rich sources of information which can be used to better understand and optimize the entire design and manufacturing process (see The Digital Thread article). 'Informating' is a term coined by researcher Shoshona...
