Need a plastic mesh in a custom pattern? 3D print it, no problem. But what if one needs a curved plastic mesh? That’s considerably harder to 3D print, but [Uncle Jessy]’s figured out a simple approach ...

Have you ever considered how awesome it would be to 3D print your very own miniatures? We're talking proxies for Star Wars Legion and Warhammer to your custom D&D monsters or heroes via something like ...

Abstract: The prime objective of this article is to obtain maximum weld seam positional accuracy and weld quality with varying weld gap values over weld cycles in laser and vision-sensor-assisted ...

Abstract: The quality of weld joints is a pivotal factor influencing the strength and structural reliability for mechanical parts. Difficulties in identification caused by weld joint adhesion and ...

While aluminum may have a reputation for being trickier to weld than its steel or stainless steel counterparts, that just makes it all the more fun to master. Aluminum’s unique properties, such as ...

(The photo above is of the first generation of the arm segments) This project uses, as much as possible, 3D printed parts. However, the rigidity of plastic arm sections, and the encoder pivots is ...

In the end-of-semester push for outcomes and completion, welding teachers can forget that failure, struggle, and reflection are where growth actually happens for their students.
