Using Blender for Technical design

Christie S

Blender 3D may seem for non-user quite difficult to approach, and yet there are a lot of ways to use it accuratly with measures and tree function structure. This tutorial will design a precise screw. It is a near way of approaching technical design. Yes, it will not be as quite easy as solidwork or others, but the aim is to be more precise with blender.

How to FDM Print for Part Sliding Clearance

GrabCAD Tutorials
in Assemblies
13 4 Intermediate
If you are 3D printing parts that have to fit/slide together after printing, you will need to put some sort of clearance between those parts in your CAD system. A good starting place is a clearance 2x the layer height you are going to print at, but you should make a few smaller test prints at different clearances to see if the 2x layer height rule holds for your particular situation and orientation. Have fun and happy printing!

Параметризация модели через переменные в "Компас-3D"

Tutorial relevant for users "Kompas-3D". I don't know if they "Kompas-3D" is used in other countries, but I know "Kompas-3D" most popular in Russia, so further explanation will be in Russian. If you need English version, please comment tutorial, and I make translate. В данной заметке рассмотрено построение параметрической модели на примере корпуса микросхем типа QFP, модель строится в САПР «Компас-3D». Представленный ниже способ - лишь один из многих возможных. И я искренне надеюсь, что кому-то он поможет лучше разобраться 3D моделированием, а кто-то увидит, как оптимизировать процесс. Несмотря на то, что построение модели выполнялось в «Компас-3D», подобные механизмы могут присутствовать и в иных системах, так что возможно пригодится пользователям другого ПО. Описанный ниже способ предполагает наличие определенного навыка работы с 3D моделями, и не содержит подробного описания последовательностей нажатия клавиш, скорее описана методика построения и взаимосвязь объектов.

diverse shape translation to JT or STP

Have found a way to import / translate easy shape files like 3ds, wrl, skp, stl, ifc and so on into JT or STP. The shape files can have texture or not. My interest was how to get the shape files with texture translated to JT. For this, I use PCon Planner and save as 3DS. After this, import it into MeshLab (single texture file / no layer) and save it as WRL (VRML 2). This is than easy to import into Teamcenter Livecyle Visualisation (TCVis) and save as JT. If you like to have more imported WRL/JT files into TCvis (JT2Go) please rename the texture or the view results in TCVis (JT2Go) are bad, looks like unplaced textures. If you like to export files with not a texture another way is to use. The fast one with no colours is to save as stl and import it into your volume modeller. The longer way is here to import it into PCon after this save as Skp (Sketchup) and now is to use Automapki (~40 $ or € / year sorry no freeware I have found) and save as STP file. The result you can now import into a volume modeller and use it there or (and) save it as JT and many other files too. Hope you like this tutorial a bit. If you have any questions please let me know.

Matte or Glossy? Which Finish to Use for Your 3D Prints and When.

Alexa Nahum

Matte or Glossy? That is the question. PolyJet users often ask themselves whether they should print a part with a matte finish or a glossy finish. And not without reason. The type of finish can totally alter the look, feel, color, and even strength and durability of two otherwise identical parts. Each option has its own benefits and implications that need to be considered. In this tutorial we will give an overview of matte and glossy, compare the pros and cons of each, and offer examples that clearly show what each finish type has to contribute. Finally, we will wrap up with a quick breakdown of when to use what.

Import *.STL files at their true scale size in BLENDER

3D Comparison
in Translations
1 0 Beginner
Blender imports STL files at a 0.001 scale because the STL file format does not specify units. This means that the size of an object in an STL file is arbitrary, and it is up to the software that is importing the file to determine the scale. Blender, by default, imports STL files as if they are in meters, which means that a 1 unit cube in an STL file will be imported into Blender as a 1 meter cube. To import an STL file at a different scale, you can use the "Scale" option in the import dialog.

JP_011_GrabCAD Print: 「マットかグロス？」3D造形でどのような場合にどちらの仕上げを使用すればよいのか

マット（艶消し）にするか、それともグロッシー（光沢）にするか、それが今回のテーマです。 PolyJetプリンタをお使いの皆さんは、部品をマット仕上げにすべきか、グロッシー仕上げにすべきかで悩むことがよくあります。 皆さんが頭を悩ませるのも無理ありません。それ以外の点はまったく同じの2個の部品でも、仕上げのタイプが異なると、見た目、感触、色、そして強度や耐久性までもががらりと変わってしまう可能性があるのです。どちらの仕上げにもそれぞれ、考慮すべき独自のメリットと影響があります。 このチュートリアルでは、マット仕上げとグロッシー仕上げの概要を説明し、それぞれの長所と短所を比較し、それぞれのタイプがどのような仕上がりにつながるのかを明確に示す例を紹介します。そして最後に、どのような場合にどちらの仕上げを使用すればよいのかを簡単に分類してまとめとします。
