    Suggestion: Laser Welding System for Thin Stainless Steel & Non-Linear Weld Paths?

    Hi all, Just to clarify that at the moment I'm just exploring the options in general, to see if there is any viability in this at all. At my workplace there is a need to weld thin pieces of sheet metal (0.2-0.5mm thickness; CRES 321, CRES 347) along a non-linear weld-path. At the moment the...

    Hole Wizard - UNC STI Tapped Hole?

    Hi all, It might be staring right at me and I just don't see it, but.. Is there a way to add tapped holes for UNC STI (for inserts) using the hole-wizard? The idea is to get the "automation" when dimensioning the feature during the creation of a technical drawing, so all the info about the hole...

    How to Fix Broken External References

    Hi all, As the title suggests I have an issue with broken External References. The problem: Ive been working for a couple of months now on a rather large assembly, using the "Top Down" modeling method, meaning I have a lot of external references between sub assemblies and individual parts, and...

    Lead-Screw and Linear-Rail lubrication alternatives

    Hi all, The back story in a nut shell, I need to give some well earned TLC to the Z axis assembly of my 3D resin printer (Phrozen Sonic Mega 8K). I did a bit of digging and found that the manufacturer of the printer suggests two specific greases specifically for the lead-screw (there are...

    Molex CLIK-Mate Crimper Substitute

    Hi All, I know this is a bit of topic, but I'm need to wire a BLDC controller with Molex CLIK-Mate connectors but the crimper is a bit too expensive for me right now. Can someone suggest a decent replacement for it? Thanks, SD

    Fixing External Referanses (in context modeling) - Without PDM

    Hi all, I love(!) this software most of the time, but sometimes I F'ing hate the F'ing thing!! (had to blow some steam off) Now with that out of the way.. I'm working on an assembly in which some of the parts are virtual and had been created using in-context modeling method. For the sake of...

    Display Pane Not Showing Sketch Colors

    Hi All, Today was the first time I've encountered this BS(!).. I have a multibody part that is driven by a set of sketches (not imported, created within the part itself), all of those sketches were assigned a color with the appropriate colors appearing on the Display Pane (under the Color...

    Glass(!) Jar Lid Gasket/Seal

    Hi all, So after giving a shot at the correct sub-forum, with only one quite abstract response, after more than 10 days I figured I'll try a more lively venue to ask. I have a lab glass beaker (borosilicate 3.3; off-the-shelf product) lets call it the Container, which is intended to be used in...

    Jar Lid Gasket/Seal

    Hi all, Hope this is where I'll find redemption with this issue. So here are the facts: I have a lab glass beaker (borosilicate 3.3; off-the-shelf product) lets call it the Container, which is intended to be used in a clinical drug delivery device (human clinical trials). The container will...

    Common GND Line?

    Hi all, I'm working on an electromechanical prototype with several consumers at different voltage ratings (i.e. 5, 12 and 24 VDC). Some of the consumers (which use different inptup voltages) are interconnected, for example a Single-Board-Computer (5Vin; high level commands) is connected to a...

    Low Voltage System wiring (5-24VDC), Rules of Thumb?

    Hi all, As the subject suggests I'm working on a prototype of a device with various electrical components (i.e. logic controllers, Raspberry Pi + touch screen, DC motor, steppers etc.) raging from 5VDC and up to 24VDC. The highest power rating of a single component will be the Raspberry Pi 4...

    Solidowrks Macro - Assembly Part Coloring

    Hi all, A long while back I had a macro for automated coloring of the assembly parts in solidworks, with a click of a button all of the parts were striped from any previously made coloring and were assigned a new RGB value and the macro made sure that there are no similar colors adjacent to one...
