Part of the Week

Untitled

Two weeks ago I had never done any engineering work in 3D. Last week I designed my first part using a 3D CAD program called Onshape after a couple of hours with their excellent tutorials. Today my boss sent an e-mail asking if we could figure out a way to help customers align our printing plate during installation. Five minutes later I had an idea for how this could be done. In less than an hour, I had an alignment guide designed in CAD (most of that time spent taking measurements and entering dimensions). An hour and 18 minutes after that, I had a physical part in hand ready for testing on the printer that made it (it is the white colored component in the photo below, taped in place). It is hard to describe the creative empowerment that comes with the ability to make prototypes so quickly. The time from concept to component has never been shorter and if I knew it before intuitively, I know it now concretely, that 3D printing is going to change everything.

Are you afraid it will be your parents who will hiss, “We told you not to go out!”? Or will it be your brother or sister who is acting out. Incidentally, the design worked perfectly and the part won second place in our regular Part of the Week show and tell, held each Friday afternoon over beers. On my drive home, I thought of a good way to attach the guide to the plate and will refine my design this evening.
