If so, I need a 3d modeling favour :smiley:
-
Not daily. but i think i still have a copy on my laptop at home what ddo you need doing and if i still have it ill have a go tonight or sometime
-
No offence but I need somone who knows what they are doing rather than 'having a go'. Its to create a complete injection moulded usb stick with correct ribbing, components and correct friction fitting components :laugh:
-
might not use it daily, but done two courses and used it and simelar programs over the past 5 years in engineering :wink:
-
Yes, but its hateful and I dont have a home copy so no favours coming from this direction :grin:
-
I cant CAD monkey it for you but give it a go and I will give you some input on mould/part design.
I built €3 million worth of mould tooling last year......

Its ok folks, I figured out a load of stuff today (only took me a billion years). I can hapily use pro-e, its just that we are doing a stupid project where you have to convert a surface model into a solid model using thicken and such like which simply doesnt work. Anyhow, here we are atm :undecided:

what material are you working with?

Cant show you my latest project, but this will give you a good idea of what I do :cool:
Will delete this in a few days before I get in trouble :lipsrsealed:
-
what material are you working with?
No material atm really, just some random plastic (PP perhaps?)

Feck me, two shot moulding with a hinge en mass! Thats awesome :cool:

PP is ok, think about acetyl or a filled material for durability :smiley:

Its not going to be PPed, its just a cad project. I have however done an injection moulding project and did use PP but it got pretty bad shrinkage as it was only air cooled moulding (even across a 3mm section with a rib

That's a single cube, a double cube allows for a lot more versatility :cool:
Exposed sides can be loaded with inserts or other parts for over-moulding with multi materials or device assembly
Mine will involve a form of in mould labelling and 2k injection + 6 axis fanuc robots with camera drive :smug:
For a bit of trivia, these guys have developed a turning unit based on the turret mechanism of the Leopard tank. It will spin the centre section(s) with servo driven precision in .10 of a second :cool:

No probs I understand, but you need to get the material right to design fits and finish :smiley:
PP does shrink a bit (1 to 2 % on section and grade) but is a very easy material to work with.
If you ever get stuck :wink:

Work with solidworks day in and out so similar ish....
I bloody hate mould tools though.
Btw PET OR PPS are pretty nice materials.
