It's all in the detail!   When designing and modelling in CAD, it is all too easy to forget the physical size and proportions of a product. We have the ability to zoom in to fractions of a millimetre and refining any number of fine details, both aesthetic and mechanical.   When refining a design on a zoomed in level, it is important to take a step back and review changes in context as a whole, whether that is as an individual component, or as an assembly. A small change can make a BIG difference, visually and/or functionally!   On the face of it, the spine on the underside of the Digit Music CMPSR music controller looks simple, but in terms of 3D modelling, a series of features and surfaces needed to meet and blend together to create a set of flowing surfaces that not only look good, but also comfortably fit within the hand.   #design #industrialdesign #refine #development #refinement #details

Why do Robotic CNC tending machining cells have some of the highest utilisation in manufacturing?     While on a visit to DKW Engineering Ltd last week, I spotted a robotic CNC machining cell.   It's been 10 years since I've worked with the Robotic welding machines (ABB) at Stannah Group and to be honest I was surprised to see this one, and it got me thinking - When should you implement this type of cell?   Benefits of a Robotic CNC cell: ✅ Manufacturing Sustainability ✅Reliable lead times ✅More capacity via lights out operations ✅No more strain injuries, the arm has a greater capacity for weight and repetitive motions ✅Can work with high mix/ low volume production   How to get the most out of the cell (Considerations to have): ✅Consider multiple CNC machines that could be used with one Robotics arm, instead of being idle the arm is in constant motion. ✅Consider the floor space required for a given size of arm, this needs to be caged off to keep operators safe. ✅Consider the materials to be handled and the types of grippers needed. ✅Consider the tasks that need to be performed, is an Arm viable? ✅What is your end outcome? Capacity? Reduce costs per part? Are there are other solutions that can achieve this that's been explored first? ✅Consider Cost/ Payload and Software/Programming ease. ✅Consider the maintenance of the whole system, how often and the impact to production.   At Lewmar, we used a single robotic arm to load gear blanks from the CNC lathe into a sharper and then load the finish gears onto a pallet that could be collected once a certain amount was completed, but this is a simple setup while is saves times and requires little supervision there's more that arm could be doing instead of standing idle.   Have you used/implemented Robotic CNC cells?

Thanks to Almighty and my parents for giving me a Good life Looking for internship that starts from september 2024. Being from an Engineering background I have always been into design and simulation. Its vast area of interest for engineers to draft, design, manufacture and test the component. Firstly after the graduation for a certain period of time working into an industry as quality engineer where I had joined as an intern gave me an immense knowledge of how science and technology works. No doubt it takes courage and skills to built things that would benefit the people around the universe from a small needle to blade of turbines engineers play a vital role to overcome the complications in design and manufacturing. Furthermore Design and Manufacturing is the backbone of components that comes into the market. Its always been an honour to practice what I learned and implement the skills (AutoCAD , solid works) to design various components for the clients at the working space. Just to keep in brief, Interest in machine design, kinematics and Dynamics of Machines and there manufacturing industry inspired me to Pursue masters. To conclude, I'm continuing my masters in Mechanical Engineering in where I have honed my skills by learning to design, model and perform simulation(FEA) by using SIEMENS NX. Plethora of things to explore and learn. #siemensnx #simulations #Design #Fem #Linkedin #modelingandsimulation

One of the most exciting activities in my career was learning how to use 3D printers (Additive Manufacturing) it is a widely used tool for rapid prototyping, basically any geometry you imagine can be created, using different types of polymers (PLA,PET-G,ABS NYLON ETC...)

Trying to explain/teach stack systems can turn into a complete kerfuffle at times! What’s the easiest approach? Everyone has their own way of doing things, however for me a simple schematic showing a mix of different systems in their most basic form is a fantastic starting point to generate the discussions around stack rules related to each system, then extrapolate each system further using a white and/or smartboard or even a piece of A3 paper when it's a 1-1. Something visual also helps explain the “why” factor which is a fundamental aspect of understanding stacks rules. Remembering stack rules apply not only to the liquids being discharged down through the system but also to airflow. Airflow is crucial in a sanitary system, yet generally misunderstood, the actual air to liquid ratio is an eye opener for many! Anyway, the air/liquid sciences are for another day! Remember, the diagram is abroad brush only.

I printed embeds into a part for the first time and it came out great. I think this is going to be the new norm for threads 🔩 #engineer #engineering #mechanicalengineering #mechanicalengineer #technicaldrawing #gd&t #geometricdimensioningandtolerancing #sustainingengineer #sustainingengineering #bambulab # #dataacquisition #datalogger

Investing in new machinery and technology is important, but it's equally important to invest in the next generation of engineers.

The UK's engineering skills gap is a complex issue with numerous contributing factors. One major challenge lies in the persistent misconception that engineers are simply technicians, not strategic problem solvers and innovators. This misinterpretation not only undervalues the engineering profession but also discourages talented individuals from pursuing careers in the field, exacerbating the skills shortage. But there's a solution! Our project management training programs empower engineers to: ➡ Demonstrate their strategic thinking and problem-solving abilities. ➡ Develop leadership and communication skills to effectively collaborate and drive projects forward. ➡ Position themselves as valuable assets in the modern manufacturing industry. Invest in your future and bridge the engineering skills gap.

I've been a chartered mechanical engineer since 2005 and, for most of that period, have paid my Institution of Mechanical Engineers fees from my own pocket. This year, I'm considering not renewing. The only tangible benefit I derive is use of their library service and this is much less valuable to me since we lost access to SAE papers a few months ago. I've worked for large and small companies, none of whom have insisted on engineers being chartered or even members, so my membership doesn't put me at the top of the pile when finding new work. I take my job seriously, I do CPD and keep my record updated. Yet I question the worth of my membership. IMechE doesn't provide training that ordinary members can afford. The training pricing is aimed at companies, as are the membership fees. So, I have a few questions, because the IMechE don't answer these kinds of questions: For members: Do you pay your own fees? If you had to pay the £350+ fees yourself, would you? What benefits do you get? What benefits am I missing? For employers: Do you insist that any of your mechanical engineers are chartered? Do you insist that any of your mechanical engineers are IMechE members? Would you stop an engineer's career progression within your company if they were not a member or chartered?

Well I suppose you've got to start somewhere even if its the first time doing something, time to get my head stuck in this Solidworks 550 page training manual. Done a few basic exercises, tasks and really enjoying it so far. I'm sure there will be a few headaches along the way, but expanding my knowledge base will help me in the future of my career. #solidworks #CAD #Training
