    T slotted (or otherwise) framing non-metallic

    I'm in search of non-metallic framing and T slots are the easiest to find in metal form. I looked thru an found an old post here regarding the same thing I'm doing but it's 20 years old so all the links but 1 fail and obviously it's been awhile for new companies to emerge. "I need to build...

    Metal 3D printers suggestions/reivews about $10K or less with small volume high precision?

    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...

    Training for Solidworks Simulation & what FEA analysis tool is best for large displacement study

    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...

    Soft stop type device for gravity Fixture

    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...

    Two holes (or features) used as one datum.

    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.
