Friction Is a Variable: Why Moving Mechanisms Change Over Time One of the most common simplifications in mechanical design is treating friction as a constant. During calculations and simulations, a single coefficient is often assigned to a sliding surface or bear... 2026年7月20日
More Fasteners Do Not Automatically Create a Stronger Assembly Adding fasteners often feels like a straightforward way to increase structural strength. If a joint appears vulnerable, the instinct may be to add another bolt, another screw, or another attachment po... 2026年7月14日
Combine Small Brackets into One Printed Assembly One of the most impactful advantages of additive manufacturing is the ability to consolidate multiple components into a single, optimized structure. Traditional assemblies often rely on several small ... 2026年4月14日
Did You Know? Fewer Pieces, Stronger Assemblies Part consolidation is one of the most powerful advantages of additive manufacturing, enabling engineers to rethink assemblies as single, optimized components rather than collections of individual part... 2026年4月7日
Unlocking Lightweight Performance with Lattice Infill Lightweighting is a central design goal in industries like aerospace, drones, and robotics, where reducing mass translates directly to better performance. In this case study, a drone arm previously ma... 2026年1月6日
Replacing solid cores with lattices for 40% weight savings Traditional part designs rely on solid internal volumes to maintain structural integrity. But in modern applications, especially in aerospace, automotive, and medical industries, weight reduction is c... 2025年11月25日
Lightweight Strength: The Power of Lattice Structures in Metal AM In metal additive manufacturing, weight and strength often stand on opposite ends of a design trade-off. But with lattice structures, engineers can achieve the best of both worlds. By replacing solid ... 2025年10月21日
