    machined PVC with groove = bending/warping problems

    Hi all, We are trying to machine a 1inch thick, grey PVC part that is 8in wide by 36in. It is a simple rectangle with a few 1/4in thick grooves that go about 1/2deep and run all the length of the part. When we received the PVC sheet, it was slightly bent and made a banana in the length. We...

    Vault file organization

    Hi Scott, This is interesting, and definitively closer to what I am used to seeing. The fact that here they don't store parts and assemblies in project folders makes it awkward, and creates a weird workflow. Does anyone else use a different organization system? Thanks all, G

    copper blackening

    Hi, I am trying to blacken a copper strip (will probably come in reels, which also makes this more difficult). I know this can be done by a number of different methods, but I need something that can keep surface electrical conductivity after blackening. This seems much more difficult to...

    miniature crosshead extrusion

    coextrusion

    Hi, This image is just an example I found online, not the actual design. can you think of any particular limitations as to the materiel type, design or other that could guide me on this? Or if you know of specific sites that could shed some light on this? Thanks Gerry

    co extrusion question

    Hi all, I am trying to find some information on copper + plastic coextrusion. Can anyone explain how this process works? Is the copper inserted in the plastic channel after it is extruded? I have samples where the copper is loose and free sliding inside the plastic, which suggests it is not...
