Clicks, Paws and Springs: 3D Printing a Mechanism That Steps,...
How to 3D print ratchets, pawls, detents and spring-loaded mechanisms that hold their position: tooth geometry, root stress, spring rate, energy storage and what fails silently.
Heat Has to Go Somewhere: Designing 3D Printed Parts That...
Plastic is a thermal insulator and an electrical insulator, and both of those facts are usually treated as background. They are not background. They are the two properties that decide whether a printed part becomes a housing, a bracket, a duct, or a part that quietly fails at month eight...
Draw It Once: Modeling 3D Printed Parts So They Fit...
Almost every failed 3D print that was not a printer problem was a drawing problem wearing a printer problem's clothes. The machine did what it was told. The part came out at exactly the size the file asked for. It just did not fit — because the file asked for the wrong thing. This is not an...

3D Printing for Rapid Prototyping: From Idea to Functional Part...
How engineers and product designers use desktop 3D printers to iterate faster, test fit and function, and get to production quicker than ever.
