What is a jig and a fixture? Jigs and fixtures are two phrases we frequently hear combined, but it’s worth wondering, what exactly are jigs and fittings? Jigs are special tools that are used to guide or regulate the motion or mobility of another tool. It can assist to expedite the production of a component […]

Also known as Additive Manufacturing (AM), 3D printing has revolutionised the engineering world, so much so that it has taken the engineers by storm and all that has happened in the last few years. Through the years, researchers and engineers have worked persuasively to combine the features of the printing technology to make 3D printing […]

Enterprises across sectors have used 3D printing and have realized how this technology can do wonders to their product development process by producing any model or prototype for manufacturing at mass levels. The engineering world is witnessing mind-blowing inventions with rapid-prototyping services. With years, the technology has evolved its potential of what’s possible to print […]

A recently conducted 3D printing statistics report by Sculpteo suggests that the majority of the engineering companies use 3D printing technology for manufacturing wherein 51% of the respondents were affirmative of using the same. It is quite fascinating that about 63% of the respondents believe that 3D printing, a subset of rapid prototyping will play […]

3D printing, even though in its nascent phases has been around for more than three decades now and today has grown to its pinnacle where professionally and industrially it holds more meaning than it ever has. The exponential rise in the market share of this technology has swollen into a billion dollars revenue system. According […]

The success of any product is determined in the initial phase of the product development process. The competition has encouraged service providers to adopt advanced and upgraded methods. However, 3D printing or Additive Manufacturing isn’t new but as its invention dates back to 1983, but the technique hasn’t lost its spark instead it’s being practiced […]

3D printing sure does sound new, but actually it has been around for more than three decades for the industries to use and explore. The words 3D give an idea of the multi-dimensions for an object which presented an escalated presentation of the same makes it more appealing, more accurate in design and further enhancement. […]

Computer Numeric Control (CNC) machine has become perhaps one of them most viable methods for manufacturing companies to survive in the time of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Also known as Numerical control, CNC automates control of machining tools like lathes, lasers, mills, grinders and drills via software embedded in a microcomputer. Interestingly, the oldest machined […]

AI is all pervasive today! It can be seen in everyday engineering as well. AI is rapid prototyping. Data-oriented decision making and seamless testing are two of the lucrative features that have been infused in the product prototyping process with the help of AI. The coming years will see an increase in AI-infused prototypes and […]

The entire engineering design process is not only time consuming but also daunting when the client asks for last moment alterations or changes. To leapfrog the situation, product designers thought advancements in 3D CAD technologies will impede the waste of resources but the question “can you prove it?” remained untouched. This is where rapid prototyping […]
