Laser cutting materials
Laser cutting is so popular largely because of its versatility. Laser cutters can cut a wide variety of materials anything from paper, wood, cork, acrylic and foam to different types of metals. Still, there are some materials that would seemingly fit well into this list but should never be cut using a laser cutter. So let’s further explore the possibilities
More InfoHot rolled steel & cold rolled steel
Hot rolled steel or cold rolled steel – which to choose? One of the crucial parts of an engineer’s job is picking the right materials for their application. There’s already a lot of types of metal to choose from. Each with its own advantages and uses. Some types of steel make an excellent fit for home appliances, others for the automotive or
More InfoSome essential tips for designing bending parts
Some engineers have difficulties properly designing sheet metal parts for manufacturing. That’s not you, of course (wink-wink). Still, we notice that there are certain issues that frequently appear in models that we’ve been asked to quote. With these issues in mind, we offer this list. It isn’t exhaustive, but strap yourself in and see what many
More InfoHeat treatment of metals
Heat treatment is the process of heating and cooling metals, using specific predetermined methods to obtain desired properties. Both ferrous as well as non-ferrous metals undergo heat treatment before putting them to use. Over time, a lot of different methods have been developed. Even today, metallurgists are constantly working to improve the
More InfoAdditive manufacturing and 3d printing
3D Printing technology, also known as Additive Manufacturing (AM), refers to processes used to generate a 3D object in which layers of material are successively formed under a computer controlled program to create a physical object. The 3D file source is usually sliced into several layers, each layer generating a set of
More InfoSheet metal bending-Parameters & Methods
Bending is one of the most common sheet metal fabrication operations. Also known as press braking, flanging, die bending, folding and edging, this method is used to deform a material to an angular shape. This is done through the application of force on a workpiece. The force must exceed the material’s yield strength to
More InfoImportant standards in production
Manufacturers like to show the standards and certificates they have acquired on their homepages. You can find numerous ones indicating a company’s professionalism and forward-thinking nature. We decided to take a closer look at the promises behind those standards. A standard is a
More InfoStainless steels 304 vs 316
304 and 316 stainless steels are ferrous metals that are widely used when corrosion resistance is sought. Even though called stainless, they are not. It just takes more time and harsher conditions to see the first signs of wear. They still make for a great solution in difficult environments, providing long-lasting products in many fields.
More InfoHow to identify thread types
Identifying the thread of a bolt or screw is quite easy. To identify a bolt or screw you need to know :
1. the diameter of the bolt
2. the number of threads per inch (or pitch) on the bolt These results are compared to information on a thread chart to identify the thread type. Measuring the diameter of a bolt or screw. This is best done with a micrometer or vernier. If you do
