Inspired by Disney’s Research & Development team for their 3D printed optics, we’ve designed a 3D printed light pipe block to experiment on light travelling across by using VeroClear from Objet500 Connex3. This light pipe block uses the light travelling theory such as the deflection theory, theory of light intensity and the optics theory. Here is […]
Hey guys, we’re organizing a 3D Printing Open Day (or Open “Office”) at 14th of March (Saturday) 10am- 12pm. So what’s so special about this Open Day? RMD houses industrial grade 3D printers. These printers weight a ton (the lightest we have was 90KG), so you don’t get to see this all the time. We […]
Manufacturing industry is always about better efficiency and profitability. In fact, making improvement on this proven success model is tough, however it needs to be done. Instead of purely upgrading machines for better productivity, we would like to introduce you to a Process Optimization. Jointly organised by IME, Rapid Model & MAWEA, this conference is conducted […]
In sand casting process, the most common approach is to produce patterns using CNC machining. But problems like incorrect shrink compensation and design flaws can occur; these generally require that the pattern be reworked which adds to the expense and lead time. Join this workshop to learn how 3D Printing helps you in enjoying: Reducing […]
I suppose most of us are pretty familiar with this – impossible triangle optical illusion. What about a 3D printed one? Don’t mind the triangle, we were too excited to check out the optical illusion instead of cleaning it properly (it was printed in rubber-like material from Polyjet). Do you have any optical illusion […]
You wouldn’t believe that a primary school student with NO experience in CAD software manage to design a pinhole camera, check out how it looks like below. Outcome: We started this project few months back to teach student on how to design using SolidWorks and also printing out their designed models. This model in particular […]
3D Printing has been flexible in many ways and of course – even in embedding IT chips. It is widely known that this technology is capable of integrating electronics into the prototype, just by pausing and inserting the chip. During our preparation for SolidWorks Innovation Day, we toyed around this similar concept, but instead of […]
The Story Behind The Idea With the recent hype on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus, we decided to shower some love for its predecessors, and no, we are not doing any bend test. Just in case you didn’t know, we just ended our nationwide SolidWorks Innovation Day few weeks ago. However during the planning of the […]
What is a fixture? A fixture is mainly used in manufacturing industry to hold manufactured part and act as a support device to secure position in a specific location or orientation. The use of fixture is widely adopted by manufacturers as it improves the productivity by streamlining operation and quick transition from part to part. How […]
Wind tunnel test is an integral part of the design process in many industries, especially for aerospace. This is used to verify and study the aerodynamic properties of solid objects such as air velocity and pressure. Traditionally, concept model made for wind tunnel testing relied heavily on CNC machining. Common materials are metal, plastics and compisites. […]
