Hmmm … that’s news. Interesting.
I face the typical independent Engineer’s problem.
Once I explain the solution and the niche market it works in … neither party has any use for me further. Getting some kind of legal agreement up front is expensive/wasteful. I’ve seen a couple ‘good...
These material samples exhibit really high stiffness with just a smidge of flexibility to take a hit w/o fracturing. The product is a composite construction siding described as a "proprietary polymeric resin and granular stone" (called C Core - Chelsea Building products) probably targeted as a...
Dave,
Thanks for the Roark tip. Will look for it.
Greg,
I fully expect your estimate that the error will be tiny is right on the money … being new to this I need to burn some time assuring I am on the right track.
Thanks Guys!
Bruce
Greg,
Those are about as impressive as it gets!
But I was curious more at a basic day to day working level. I’ve been experimenting with smaller packages and seemingly getting plausible results, but I was looking more for a model(s) I could duplicate, run and compare my results with “known...
Are there any standard 3D models with material and load data that can be downloaded for testing of computational accuracy of FEA tools?
(Or some equivalent?)
Best regards,
Bruce
Hi WK,
Structural, mix-expanding-curing.
Further research points needing a foam that cures to 12-16 lbs / cubic foot. (~300psi)
I need to find a couple sources that can provide test samples to hone this in tighter.
Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a good supply house that can deliver medium & high density PU foams?
I spent 5 hr yesterday surfing/calling and only found one guy interested in making a sale, but he had to go find someone that could answer questions about their foams’ performance specs.
I scan chemical...
Yep, the X1E has it ... plus about another K in cost over the unit designed without it.

Thanks for your comment!
Interesting. Does it have a bare RJ-45 jack? Another source (that could be wrong) said it was WiFi only.
The PRUSA has a WiFi module that can be popped off from a vid I saw.
I have a friend that has a PRUSA and swears by it. In my first look, I like that you don’t need to have it tied to the cloud. Bambu has some attractive features/pricing, but from my reading, you can’t run w/o being exposed to the Net. That’s a non-starter for my customers. Can’t blame them based...
I wish I could be more specific, but confidentiality is up against my beans/cornbread stop.
One of the basics I can say is very fast cycle times are necessary. Ovens/dips block/contaminate the secondary operations as well as potential for heated product damage during transfer in/out. The...
Mint,
Watlow has some great custom work there. I will give them a call Monday to see where they stand on sizes/pricing.
Part of the issue is my customer wants to keep as much as possible proprietary… that said, possibly integrating some off the shelf or semi custom products could satisfy both...
Yes, the tricky part with a metal fabric is the electrical conductivity with the resistance wires. Adding an electrical insulator to either the fabric or wire slows heat xfer. (But this is worth pursuing as I know nothing of what is available on the market. I'm thinking this problem has already...
I have a heating project that needs a flexible application of continuous heat as a two dimensional secondary operation takes place. To make the tool easy to construct, it would be helpful if the material could be sewn with a high temp Kevlar thread. The physical forces of tension in the fabric...
