For decades, the machine shop has been the heartbeat of the manufacturing floor. When a new line starts or a part design changes, the first call is to the CNC department to mill out a set of 6061-T6 aluminum jigs and fixtures. It’s a tried-and-true process, but these days, tried-and-true is quickly becoming slow and expensive.
GoEngineer has implemented Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for accessing the GoEngineer Customer Portal. This added security measure helps protect both customer and company data by preventing unauthorized access.
Scaling your campus prototyping facility doesn’t have to mean doubling your square footage or hiring a second shift of lab staff. By pairing targeted SLA and SLS hardware automation with smart queue management software, campus labs can handle more student jobs per week, keeping TAs focused on teaching.
The Canadian defence manufacturing landscape reached a pivotal turning point with the announcement of a $2 billion contract awarded to General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada (GDLS-Canada). This award expands the Armoured Combat Support Vehicle (ACSV) platform by 190 units, along with an additional 35 units designated for international assistance, bringing the total production run to 550 vehicles built on the LAV 6.0 chassis.
If you've been following GoEngineer's partnership with Bright Laser Technologies, you already know what BLT's machines can print: the titanium hinge inside OPPO's Find N5 foldable phone, the metal O-rings BLT produces under an Airbus A320 production contract, the record-setting BYD Yangwang U9X, whose chassis relies on BLT printers for a structure that's both lighter and stiffer than conventional casting could produce. These aren't prototypes. They're production parts, used at scale, today. And behind it all is Dr. Xue Lei (“Leo”), Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Bright Laser Technologies.
In modern education, the makerspace has evolved from a luxury to a critical component of the engineering and technical curriculum. A well-designed makerspace provides students with the tactile experience necessary to bridge the gap between theoretical physics and real-world application. However, building the perfect lab is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. It requires a strategic alignment of hardware, software, and support that scales with the institution's goals and the complexity of the curriculum.
The reality of modern industry is stark. Leading companies do not leverage personal desktop systems on their production floors. Employers in high-value sectors like aerospace, defense, and automotive aren’t just looking for graduates who can print plastic trinkets; they are hunting for candidates who understand material performance data, process controls, and quality systems.
I recently designed this Han's Halo Dual Monitor Riser to complement my home workstation setup. But how am I ever going to print this on my small 3D printer? In this blog, I'll detail the process I used to split large models into smaller chunks. This design is over 30 in in length, which certainly can't be printed inside my printer's usable volume of ~ 10" x 10" x 10". But with a little bit of planning, I'm sure I can get there.
RAPID isn't just the biggest additive manufacturing event in North America; it's where manufacturers unveil their latest innovations to the world. As exhibitors at the heart of the event, the GoEngineer team spent the week digging into the latest hardware and software advancements poised to deliver immense value to our customers.
