Thanks for the replies!
As you said, my inexperience shows. The problem I'm having is there are VERY few experienced mechanical engineers in my department. I work for the DoD, and we are one of the few groups on this base that actually designs anything. It seems like most of the other engineers...
I've recently been tasked with creating a formal design review process for our mechanical engineering team, and standardizing our drawings. I think I've got a good handle on the latter, but I'm a bit at a loss on the former. It seems ilke such a huge, open task to start from scratch; anyone have...
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I omitted it from the list but I just added three more monster CAD/simulation workstations to the network, so we're good on machines.
Again, we're almost completely out of lab space, so if we're going to buy equipment it needs to be benchtop size stuff. If I...
Some good ideas here. We're somewhat space limited, our facility is already getting pretty full, so smaller machines are better. I like the laser sheetmetal machine idea, I'll look into that.
What would you do with stereolithography equipment? MEMS type work?
So I'm in an interesting situation. My project has an excess of funds, and my program manager has asked me to put together a wish list of equipment for the mechanical engineering team to purchase before the FY is out.
Problem is, we're fairly well equipped as it is. The type of work we do is...
