Jennifer Herron, founder & CEO of Action Engineering, joined Sam Gupta on the WBSRocks podcast to discuss 3D Digital Data in Manufacturing Processes. What are the advantages? How rich is the 3D data over 2D drawings? What industries does it apply to? What are the challenges? Jennifer notes how the growth in using CAD data has […]
Ryan Talks Digital Consumption
Our unofficial Professor of Model-Based Design, Ryan Gelotte, sat down recently to chat about digital consumption of MBD data. To digitally consume MBD data, you first need to understand the four parts of MBD: Geometry Annotations Presentation states Metadata (Or properties, attributes, whatever you want to call it) Digital consumption of MBD data involves consuming one or more of the three components that can be machine-readable, which is geometry, annotations, and metadata. CNC Machining CNC machines have been able to use 3D model geometry for a long time, 20 or 30 years. It’s the annotations that those programmers have either […]
Hands-On Course: MBD Using Modern GD&T
We’ve put together a new, very hands-on course that should be of interest to a lot of engineering professionals who want/need to learn more about Model-Based Definition and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). MBD Using Modern GD&T will take place over 2-1/2 days in Golden, Colorado. Jennifer Herron, CEO of Action Engineering, and Scott Neumann, Senior […]
Design for No Assembly: Rapid Prototyping Evolves to Digital Manufacturing
It is abundantly clear that additive manufacturing (AM), whether in plastic, metal, or human tissue, is a manufacturing game changer. But as with any manufacturing method, design for that method must be considered. In that case of digital manufacturing, we get to let down our hair and let go of having to consider those pesky […]
