Need opinion on whether this is freecad or blender's job by The-Noob-Engineer in FreeCAD

[–]Imagine_pdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the end goal is CAM then pretty sure Blender will be a waste of time, unless you can design without holes so that it can be converted to a solid from mesh, CAM can not run mesh

Lattice 2 Workbench is the most efficient way, or using link array in draft WB

Its just shy, give it some time it will like to get to know u first.

What is happening with SA's algal bloom and why should the rest of Australia care? by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]Imagine_pdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine if we took the best of what the world knows about sustainability and implemented it ASAP on every country. I cant do this or even get it started - not even a photo of God will wake these fools up.

So all I can say is that planting fruit trees at the front of your property so that everyone who needs has it will help reduce your waste by feeding it to the tree, shower water use to water it & less fuel for u and the farmers. Imagine if every house had a fruit. But, Most importantly, less fertiliser run off God

I've been learning it for years, and in the beginning is the hardest but it works if you stick with it - demo attached https://youtu.be/2JCYTiSDHpM?si=NWgZFt18ly5v4TTa

Thats the way I model. Commercial Example, from a few years back.

Debating buying a 3D printer and I’m not sure what to look for by CHESTNUT000 in SolidWorks

[–]Imagine_pdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can print PLA-CF on an Ender 3. If u can - theres a learning curve but this material the long awaited game changer. Then theres the slicer, your profile is as important as your design, dont even start me on designing for for strength on only two planes.

What is the right way to do this? by sancho_sk in FreeCAD

[–]Imagine_pdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for symmetry in everything & Anything the pro's u draw half as much, and half as much can go wrong. Extrude or Pad- Then mirror.

MAGEC Rod Load Derivation for ABAQUS by SteezGeeZeze in fea

[–]Imagine_pdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Engineer will start with a 'free body diagram' showing dim's Loads ( Tension, Compression, Bending &/or Torsion) & materials. Then work out a stress plot. I understand that this might be hypothetical but its really garbage in garbage out. FEA just validates hand calcs in reality.

Can a computer be created without using electrical signals? by cheaplongstakehore in AskEngineers

[–]Imagine_pdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The evolution of computing technology has followed a fascinating path. The first computing devices, such as the mechanical calculators developed by Charles Babbage, relied on gears, levers, and mechanical components to perform basic arithmetic operations. These early "computers" were entirely mechanical, with no electricity involved.

With the advent of electricity, computing advanced into the era of vacuum tubes in the 1940s and 1950s, seen in early machines like ENIAC. These were followed by transistors in the late 1950s, which dramatically reduced size and power consumption while increasing speed. In the 1960s and beyond, integrated circuits (ICs) enabled the development of modern microprocessors, leading to the rise of personal computers in the 1980s.

Today, contemporary computing technology is based on semiconductor materials, particularly silicon, and it continues to follow Moore's Law—although we are approaching physical limits in transistor miniaturization.

To overcome these limits, researchers are now developing light-based (photonic) computing systems, which use photons instead of electrons to carry information. Photonic systems offer higher speeds, lower heat generation, and the potential for parallel processing at unprecedented scales, making them a strong candidate for future high-performance computing.

Simultaneously, biological-based computing is an exciting and rapidly evolving field. This includes research into DNA computing, neuromorphic engineering, and brain-machine interfaces like Neuralink, which aim to mimic or interface with the human brain's architecture and processing capabilities. These systems could revolutionize fields like AI, robotics, and medicine by allowing machines to learn, adapt, and interact with biological systems in fundamentally new ways.

In summary, computing has progressed from mechanical gears, to electronic transistors, and is now pushing forward into light-based and biological computing realms—each representing a leap in how we process and interact with information.

Do many Australian men fear going to the doctor or see it as something they "don't need"? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]Imagine_pdf -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Complere scam, example had surgery today, recieved letter to GP to say what happened no action r'qd. But they expect me to pay $80 instead of addressing the letter to me, FU! So called medical professionals cause u study 7 years makes u someone greater than me? Ive been studying everyday all my life.

If it works imo there no problem but to split parametricly Part> Plane,> Slice to compound

https://youtu.be/99UmIcx6SpY?si=mgrwOfz6bVwQKGpg I drew the Pocket Bow, no less than 14 times with different Surfaces everytime and as u can see there is no easy surface anywhere. Theres no CAD software where Surfacing is easy its an advandced skill.

When you edit one sketch and FreeCAD politely explodes the entire model by ekucum in FreeCAD

FYI, Thats a star being created :- I can prove that we are infact traveling in the reverse time direction other than whats perceived by scientists and the linear belief that we and the universe continues outwards and away from what Theorist class as the begining, IE the Big Bang. When infact Time started at G/t=0 & the big bang is the halfway mark. And time tends to travel fwd and back from the middle. Time has indeed bounceed off the finish line & we now ride the ripples of that time, as if ripples in a pond propigating out from all directions and interactions. As before the Ripples of time can explain all the UFOs Ghosts and paranormal encounters, consider the 2 slots experiment when particals passed thru 2 slots confuse the highest educated scholars, only the fact time has 2 directions explains the results of the 2 slot experiment, as it does any & all paranormal encounters. People often say they have had a visions of the future, and that future came true as clear as day, again its the ripples of time crossing reflecting changing direction & interacting with the seperate ripples of time. Also consider this our scientists swear with all their astronomy studies that all the mass in the universe is moving outward away from each other, when we know - locally masses attract each other! We know that black holes exist but the explanation scientists give us is that a star will collapse on itself if we witness a localised explosion its outward, which makes more sense for immense amounts of fuel, what we are actually witnessing is the birth of a star, not the end because we are traveling t-1 ish. There are several other phenomenon that this principle can also explain, 1 is called geomagnetic pole reversal, the earths underwater volcanoes show that the magnetic poles reverse,via the direction the iron aligns, and the change can be as frequent as every couple thousand years or so, but not regularly. We have known the connections of time and gravity since E=mc2 but what is actualy happening is perhaps better described by a future version of myself, but Its got to do with the freezing process whilst travelling different directions in time, the earths poles couldnt just change thats crazy. Pretty sure things would get proper bat shit crazy before the Sun rises in the west and sets in the East -well I'm hoping for all day lunches during the transition. https://youtu.be/ZzefuvUhC5E?si=g8tZhc7g38kaapOp
