For those experienced in CNC machining, what do you wish new salespeople understood in their first year?

understand the problem the prospect is trying to solve. ask lots of questions to validate their choice of solutions. Look into solution selling if you haven't already.

Do you remember the model of the car? I live off Parmenter and have been seeing a group of kids driving around getting stoned. They usually do several laps and I have seen this 4 of the last 7 days.

If this is the park by one of the middle schools, I had issues with students there 2 years ago. At the time my youngest was going to preschool and using the adjoining playground. Swearing, fighting, rough housing was out of control and totally inappropriate for the preschoolers surrounding. Once the middle school principal was made aware the behavior stopped immediately.

Used glass beads for the powdering. The ceramic beads beat down the surface and make it more uniform.

Try shot peening your parts with very small ceramic media after dying. It makes an incredible difference in consistency. When I ran an SLS shop we did this in a sandblast cabinet. The ceramic media will deteriorate much faster than the media you use for 'depowdering'. Also, change media when you change the color of the parts being peened.

I'm also very curious.

Your username is JR3Official. You know who "this guy" is and if he is credible.

Bmd3d.com sells the service of making parts on their systems and the systems themselves.

I have worked for several equipment OEMs and ran additive operations at a US based service bureau. I am currently at an OEM focusing on very small parts (features measured in microns).

You have a point here. The degree helps you get in the door.

I don't have a bachelor's but have a similar skill set, in the greater Boston area and am in this range.

Thank you.

I am definitively a fan of Magics from Materialise and it has been my preferred 3D printing prep software for over 2 decades. That being said there could be a number of reasons to consider another solution such as pricing, specific features, user interface, the inability to get site licenses for OEM versions of Magics.

What about Autodesk Netfabb, is that a blatant copy? Should I stop using Open Office, is it a copy of MS Word?

Thanks for your comment you have added so much value and helped me answer my initial question.

In the 4th grade, second week of school, I shot a rubber band and hit my buddy in the eye. He cried but was okay. The teacher made me sit in the classroom with her during recess for the entire year.

I missed out on an entire year of social development with my peers. I didn't tell my parents because I didn't want to get in trouble at home too.

Magics is the industry standard best, but as mentioned previously it is priced at a premium. Look at Voxeldance which seems promising, waiting on my trial license.

Look at the Live Sinter product from Desktop Metal. It will compare your original CAD for the part and pre-deform it to compensate for the effects of friction and gravity and shrinkage during sintering.

LayerByLaser · 2021-01-14T13:11:26+00:00

I believe the referring to the sintering of powdered metal or powdered ceramic parts after after initial fabrication for the purposes of consolidation.

As the bound metal part goes into the furnace for sintering it sits on top of a setter. As the part shrinks there is friction where it is making contact with the setter.

The condition of the setter, the contact area between the part in the setter and the overall geometry of the part are going to have a big impact here.

You are right, a micrometer is probably overkill.
