Design for Manufacturing (DFM) is the engineering practice of designing products in such a way that they are easy and cost-effective to manufacture while maintaining high quality and functionality. DFM aims to simplify the manufacturing process, reduce production costs, and minimize potential defects. Key Principles of DFM Simplification of Design Reduce the number of parts… Continue reading Design for Manufacturing (DFM)

A steady acoustic analysis in Ansys involves evaluating the acoustic behavior of a system under constant, time-invariant operating conditions. This type of analysis is typically used to understand sound pressure levels, sound wave propagation, and resonance characteristics within structures, machines, or environments. Here’s a step-by-step approach to performing a steady acoustic analysis in Ansys: 1.… Continue reading Static Acoustic Analysis in Ansys

Adding custom supports in PrusaSlicer can help improve print quality and minimize unnecessary support material, which is especially useful for intricate or complex models. Here’s a step-by-step guide for adding custom supports in PrusaSlicer: 1. Open Your Model in PrusaSlicer Launch PrusaSlicer and load your 3D model by dragging it into the workspace or by… Continue reading Adding Custom Supports in PrusaSlicer

Steady-state thermal analysis in Ansys is used to determine the temperature distribution and heat flux in a system or component under constant thermal conditions, meaning there is no time-dependent change in temperature. This type of analysis is particularly useful for evaluating the performance of materials or systems under a sustained thermal load. Here’s a step-by-step… Continue reading Steady State Thermal Analysis in Ansys

Static structural analysis in Ansys is used to determine the stress, strain, and deformation of structures under applied loads that are constant over time. This type of analysis is essential for assessing the performance and safety of mechanical components, civil structures, and assemblies subjected to loads such as force, pressure, or thermal expansion. Steps to… Continue reading Static Structural Analysis in Ansys

Sweep is used to extrude a sketch along a desired path    Select the sweep Function from the toolbar  Select the profile and path through which it needs to be extruded  Guide rails and guide surface can also be added and selected to assist with the path of the extrusion of the profile    

STL file is most used for 3d printing and can be identified by .stl extension  STL files consist of a series of linked triangles that describe only the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object. They don’t include color, texture, or other common CAD attributes.  You may also hear STL files referred to as ‘mesh’ files.… Continue reading Convert STL to Solid in Fusion 360

Circular pattern is used to make duplicates of the selected profile as a circular pattern for along the selected curve    Where we draw a circle and sketch a small circle at point on its edge    Now we will make duplicates of the small circle along the big circle  Select the small circle as… Continue reading Rectangular and circular pattern in Fusion 360

  Select the revolve function  Select the sketch and axis around which the sketch must revolve  Then select the angle through which it needs to be revolved and the operation type.  The different operation types are like that of the extrude function  After giving the desired input click ok button to obtain the revolve  As… Continue reading Comprehensive guide for using Revolve tool in Fusion 360
