The main mechanical tools in a hacker’s shop used to be a drill press and a lathe. Maybe a CNC mill, if you were lucky. Laser cutters are still a rare tool to find in a personal shop, but tod… ...

Through the use of 3D laser scanning, organizations can benefit greatly when working with prefabricated components. Gaining exact measurements for off-site preparations and manufacturing can ...

But now, many MEP firms—such as our company, MDP Engineering Group—are seeing opportunities in BIM and investing in 3D+ design. For example, our company did its first BIM project in 2010.

[Evan Stanford] found a simpler way, though: a completely mechanical laser show from 3D-printed parts. The first 10 seconds of the video below completely explains how [Evan] accomplished this build.

Last year, the ASME recognized the first commercial 3D printer as a mechanical landmark. SLA is a photopolymerization process in which a build tray is submerged 0.002 to 0.006 in. (0.05 to 0.15 mm ...

Mechanical shutter shapes laser beam Jan. 12, 2006 To get the most out of a laser, whether for communications or measurements, it must often be shaped or sliced into small sections.

Applied Software, a building information modeling (BIM) services provider as well as a provider of Autodesk 2D and 3D CAD products and services, announced it has earned the new MEP Systems Engineering ...

Liang Pan, professor of mechanical engineering, leads the team developing the technology that allows 3D nanoprinting at lower laser intensities without the need for femtosecond lasers. It does not ...
