Not a fan of music in the workplace, but I'm one of those oddballs who likes silence for thinking and concentration. I'll wear headphones if I want to listen to music. One of the most inconsiderate things I could do is impose my choice of music on others. IMHO an office environment should be...

For more insight you could post this question on the Practical Machinist site or the CNCZone site. But beware: the folks there and their opinions on this subject can be very strong and they may rip the meat off your bones. I've seen it discussed in the same forum that MasterCam is fabulously...

In a previous life we had to evaluate the weld penetration depth of a laser welded product. We would sample a product from the production line, section it with an abrasive cut-off saw, manually grind & polish, apply Nitinol to etch the surface, then evaluate the weld penetration depth...

Define "accurate" and what is your required tolerance. Is it really necessary to produce a gasket with exact same outline as the narrow zig-zag webs? Seems that would not be stable. A simple method I have used to recreate such items with reasonable accuracy is: take a well-positioned photo...

Concur with Mint. For what it's worth, as a young engineer I was taught Ol' Skool automotive industry fixture design philosophy by our Resident Gray Haired Shop Wizard: steel is cheap, so use plenty of it (extra mass is your friend) use thick gussets and burn 'em in (full length deep welds for...

Seems on the surface a very simple project requirement. Heavi is realistic on costs...if you contracted it out. The contractor has liability, insurance, salary, and overhead expenses that must be paid. Your company may force you to have it done professionally by third parties. If you don't...

I teach a course in Manufacturing Processes to Engineering students. My philosophy is "We are not in the business of training Technicians, but educating future Engineers." If a student wishes to become a Journeyman Machinist, I suggest they go to a different school. They get three lectures to...

here are a couple of sites that will provide a beginning survey of the equipment and software on the market https://gomeasure3d.com/ http://www.simple3d.com/ TygerDawg Blue Technik LLC Manufacturing Engineering Consulting www.bluetechnik.com

This may be a case of helping your customer be better at their own production processes and management systems by saying "no." Agreeing to their request might return as a liability where they will hold you accountable. I would not add manufacturing process notes to a design engineering...

You could pursue the typical Safety Program Administration approach explained in OSHA documents. Perhaps your designated Safety Person at the plant has done this already. Identify the hazard, possible causes, consequences, and possible solutions using a rigorous Job Hazard Analysis Implement...

Don't sell yourself short. Degrees are the first litmus test of the qualification. That said, there are many folks without degrees who are amazingly competent. Their skills, experience, and accomplishments makes this acceptable. Unfortunately there are also bunches of incompetent charlatans...

Sorry, no idea. But I did a few quick G searches, and the search string with the most promising responses was: rubber with high surface friction characteristics TygerDawg Blue Technik LLC Manufacturing Engineering Consulting www.bluetechnik.com

The US Dept of Energy has been looking at air compressors for a very long time. This might help. https://www.energy.gov/eere/amo/articles/improving-compressed-air-system-performance-sourcebook-industry TygerDawg Blue Technik LLC Manufacturing Engineering Consulting www.bluetechnik.com

I did not review your models to determine part size and bending forces needed nor quality requirements (needed to determine tooling precision requirements). If forces are not great and tolerances are forgiving, then there are a number of ways to hack 150 units. machining dies (made of soft...

Most textbooks in Manufacturing Processes will give the equation provided in the link above. If you don't have Shear Stress values, an alternative formula is F = (0.7)*T*L*(UTS) where UTS is Ultimate Tensile Strength (T = thickness, L = perimeter length of shear line). Mind your units in the...

I sent the search string Korean engineering "FEED" to my love-hate relationship with Google and it produced FEED = "Front End Engineering Design" TygerDawg Blue Technik LLC Manufacturing Engineering Consulting www.bluetechnik.com
