Hey everyone, I'm creating a molded ABS enclosure for an electronic product with snap-fits to close the enclosure. I'm not sure of the best direction - I've looked at some products, I see little... read more

For a machined part that has both standard and non-standard thread types, what’s the best way to call out threads in the technical drawing? In particular, should I use thread callouts or full detail... read more

Hello community, When choosing the right 3D printing infill pattern for PLA, what factors should I consider? And how do these choices impact the strength and weight of the final parts?

hi, what software would you recommend for efficient mold tool design? My project involves an injection mold tool for a plastic part with complex undercuts and tight tolerances (±0.02 mm) for a consumer electronics... read more

Hello,I am a mechanical engineer currently in the design phase of developing rectangular housings using PA66 GF30 material. From my previous projects, I've encountered challenges with achieving consistent dimensions, particularly with thin wall sections.... read more

Hello, I am looking at printing a complex waterproof part using SLS technology, primarily due to the complexity of the part. This part will be used in a water system and it will be... read more

Hi Everyone! We’re designing a vibration-damping mounting bracket (approx. 150×80×40 mm) for a small electric motor housing, and we’re considering 3D printing it in a flexible material. Given the operating environment includes oil exposure,... read more

Hi, I'm designing a housing component for an optical assembly, machined from anodized 7075-T6 aluminum, with several ±0.01 mm tolerances and GD&T callouts for perpendicularity and flatness. The part is quite compact (80x60x40 mm)... read more

Hi! I'm restoring an older two-stroke motorcycle and need to replace a worn-out venturi nozzle that draws in fuel-air mix. I’m considering having it 3D printed, but I’m unsure which material would best hold... read more

hi, designing a snap-fit enclosure for a small handheld sensor (approx. 60 x 40 x 20 mm), and I need to add structural ribs to the inner shell. The issue is the inner surface... read more
