Image: 3D Printing Industry 3D printing has seen a huge growth in last couple of years. Many startups are working on affordable 3D printers. Many big companies are moving towards additive manufacturing. So, it's essential to have an idea about 3D printing. What is 3D printing?   3D printing is the technology to print real world objects. 3D printers use various techniques to make objects. It solves many problems, especially for manufacturing industries. You can print parts with hidden cavities. Complex shapes or small details are not limitations here. You can print any desired shape very easily. Image: 3D print lab That, doesn't mean, 3D printer is a magic box and can make anything you want. Biggest limitation here is type of material.  Most 3D printers available in the market works with limited types of plastic. 3D printers, designed for industrial usage, can use some metals/alloys as material. But, it's obvious that they are too costly and on...

This post is for those, who are not familiar with any programming language and confused whether they should learn one or not? Simple answer for this question is big YES! You will find detailed answer at the end of the page. Now, another question arise here, Which programming language I should learn? Choosing one programming language has become very difficult. Many options are available and at one glance all looks cool. But I myself rounded up on the Python. Now why? Why not C, C#, C++, Ruby and list goes on. Python is very easy to learn. This is the biggest advantage of it. And it is working in favor of them. You can find detailed data about various programming language users, it’s ranking and all  here . What can I do with python? I have renamed multiple files using it, merged many pdfs and moved files to specific folders based on defined criteria. I even downloaded multiple files, (92 to be specific) which were on different pages on the same website u...

Drawing template is very important, as it is not convenient to enter all data manually, every time we create 2D Drawing for our model. Creo gives a separate option named 'Format' to create drawing formats/templates. There are many ways you can create format. Most tutorials shows, use of table to create borderlines in format. But, table make it very difficult to select and edit annotations and even other table. But, there's another way to create format, using sketch and It won't annoy you. Here is simple tutorial created by me, While creating drawings, there are many things, we have to write manually. Like, drawing date, version no., revision no., scale, drawing name, and many other. But, in creo, we can get this automatically in our drawing. You can create your custom templates as per your requirement and use "Text Parameters" to get all this things automatically. To, create a custom template, select "Format" option in new file window. You c...

Finite Element Analysis is being used in many areas. Depending on your field you can learn specific domains of it. Mechanical engineer generally deals with stress analysis in solid parts, Fluid flows, thermal stresses, buckling etc. Mainly mechanical engineers learn Stress analysis, thermal analysis or CFD. Knowledge of any of this will help you and one should gain expertise in any one of them. Basic knowledge of other use can help but still expertise in any one of them is essential for profession. Question is, how one can learn FEA from scratch own his/her own? Many answers are there on various blogs and are useful. I am writing here my own experience and understanding. Generally FEA solve engineering problems mathematically. Various methods are there to solve this problems. To get basic idea about FEA you can prefer my post.  Click here ! Now, learning requires theoretical knowledge about the analysis you are performing. As I have mentioned in my previous post, many...

Finite Element Analysis is used to solve various engineering problems by using mathematical models. What kind of problems are we can solve? We can solve all this problems. ·          Structural strength design ·          Structural interaction with fluid flows ·          Analysis of Shock (underwater & in materials) ·          Acoustics ·          Thermal analysis ·          Vibrations ·          Crash simulations ·          Fluid flows ·          Electrical analyses ·          Mass diffusion ·          Buckling problem...
