    Methods to reduce assembly gap

    The blocks can be any material - does that answer your question? Shims are a good idea.

    Methods to reduce assembly gap

    Hi guys, Let's say we have the assembly of three blocks placed in a container such that the worse case dimensions of the block and the inner width of the container results in zero gap. Therefore, in non-worse case situations, there will be a non-zero gap on the right side. Question is: What...

    Why is one mechanism more prone to jamming?

    Can you explain why the chamfers would help. I saw on a following thread you said it "keeps two sides of a corner from contacting at once" - Why does this help. From a top view of the button, I'm imagining you recommend filleting the edges and chamfering the corners as shown...

    Potential problems with Retooling using CAD model converted from STEP to parametric

    drawoh, No, we don't have a properly dimensioned drawing of the part. There are organic surfaces so we reference the CAD file for the full geometry. I think by 99% match, he really just means the parametric file won't be an exact match to the original step file. And this is most likely going to...

    Potential problems with Retooling using CAD model converted from STEP to parametric

    I am working on a resin change to a part that potentially needs small redesigns. We only have an imported STEP model of the part so making the changes would be a lot of effort. We reached out to a vendor to recreate the STEP file into a parametric file with a design model history for me to edit...
