Not sure this is a tutorial, or just the description of my process for building a printable compression spring. There are equations in the excel documents not just for a printable spring, but also designing custom metal.

Mechanics Basics Part 2

In this tutorial we will look at the concept of STRESS in an engineering concept. Stress is the mechanics relationship that defines the load we place on a part, and the ability of the material it is made from, to resist this load that has been applied to it. The actual strength of a material is a physical property of the material and as the mechanical parts that we design come in all shapes and sizes, we require value, that relates our load back to the physical properties of the material we want to make our part from As usual, due to the format of the GrabCad tutorial module the pdf version of this tutorial can't be easily attached to this tutorial. The pdf version can be downloaded from this token model I have placed on GrabCad, Mechanics Basics Part 2.pdf can be downloaded here : https://grabcad.com/library/basic-mechanics-tutorial-holding-model-1 Follow this link to download pdf versions of basic mechanics tutorials

Sheet Metal Bend Allowance

lawrie
in Theory
5 0 Beginner
This tutorial is a look at how bend allowances are calculated for sheet metal parts. We will only look at bend allowances as they apply to the type of sheet metal parts that we produce using the common sheet metal tools. Calculating bend allowances for this type of part is a simple process. Calculating the blank size for parts that are produced by stamping flat blanks in complex dies is a much more complex process that is outside of the scope of this tutorial. I have produced a PDF version of this tutorial. If you want a copy of this PDF version you can send me a GrabCad message with an email address to send it to
