I know the Metal X from Markforge is $100k but this list I found has them down to $1500 https://all3dp.com/2/how-much-does-a-metal-3d-printer-cost/. Wondering the reliability of each of them but it sounds like others haven't used the cheaper versions on...

I mean as much variety as possible around that price point but for now, just stainless should be fine. We are currently getting parts that are titanium from an outside vendor but I don't think we'd need that if it's extra cost, or vice versa.

Hey All, Just wondering how well the newer metal 3D printers are and if anyone knows of legit reviews of them. We currently use the Formlabs printers with decent success for polymers but would like to move over to a metal one for smaller parts...say a volume of 3" x 5" range or even smaller...

Hi, Does anyone know of any human heart CAD models (.sldprt, .stl, .step., etc.) with the pulminary veins with mutiliple branches attached? I have a human heard CAD model already but the PV's are cut off just above the atrium. Solidworks files preferred.

Thanks. I should've been more specific as I need to work in about a 3-5" range rather than feet, but I appreciate the feedback.

Hey all, Has anyone taken either of the courses offered recently for Solidworks Simulation from Goengineer or Hawkridge (maybe there's more?). Hawkridge has always been good but I noticed that the training is set up differently at Goengineer and wondering if it's more in depth. Is ANSYS...

Thanks. The Carr-Lane ones would work but they're 5 weeks out although the price is right. The McMaster ones are more complicated than I need and much too expensive but thanks for the tip.

Hey all, I'm looking for simple off the shelf swing clamps and I don't see them on McMaster for hold downs on a fixture. I don't want to use Destaco clamps, and it seems like the closest thing I can find on a search is that standard light post clamp that attaches a light to a desk. Any help...

So I'm trying to have a backup if the eddy current idea doesn't work and I'm wondering if there's a way to machine or allow a rack to always engage correctly with a gear damper as the damper effect isn't wanted until the near end of travel. I obviously don't want them to bind when they meet...

Thanks so much. Apparently McMaster has the gear dampers (https://www.mcmaster.com/dampers/shaft-type~geared/) but I don't see small eddy current brakes for sale on the web at all. I guess I can just make one pretty easily, although I'm guessing there's a balance between magnet & tube dia., what...

I'm designing a fixture that's using a small Deltron slide that's mounted to slide with/against gravity. I'd like to prevent it from crashing due to gravity when/if the operators hand slips off of the handle. I'd also like full travel of the slide, but somehow to slow down the travel if it's...

I could be totally wrong in how I'm doing it since I'm a total novice to GD&T. I'm trying to control the form of the profile of the R.020 according to GD&T rules, and wondering if I'm doing it correctly, or even if the Datums are done correctly. I was actually going to post a new thread question...

I attached a drawing of my attempt to apply GD&T to a profile callout on a curved surface seeing as this is a related subject to this thread. It's the .020 radius in B4 & B5. Any suggestions...

So by saying "...the FCF only having the one datum for perpendicularity." , the perpendicularity would be the median perpendicularity between the two hole axis, and where would that plane lie in relation to those features (i.e. at the end of one hole vs. the other, half way down the holes, etc?)

I've recently learned that more than two or more holes (or features of size) can be used as one datum. How do you tolerance them relative to each other? I looked for the attached example on this thread http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=335267 but couldn't find it.
