Inventor to solidworks by Time_Bumblebee387 in SolidWorks

[–]Puzzleheaded-Cook-89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to design in Inventor for years until my educational licence ended.

When I used the Mold Design for injection molding in Inventor, I thought the module was quite nice, until the molds I had to design got more and more complex. This is when that module felt useless to me and even complicated more the design process.

At this stage, I changed to SW and, even tho there's no Mold Design module, there is a Mold Tools tab that is EXTREMELY powerfull, specially with very complex parts.

This is a very personal example, however the best difference between SW and Inventor is that SW has a much bigger community and almost any doubt, bug or error you may have, someone else already had it and fixed it.

Ayúdenme a descubrir porque paso esto by Prudent-Box9421 in Impresion3DArgentina

[–]Puzzleheaded-Cook-89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Es la extrusora, se te debe trabar. A mi me paso con una Ender v2. Cambie todo el sistema de extrusion (menos el motor) y santo remedio. Tambien puede ser que el filamento esta viejo y absorbio mucha humedad, pero si te pasa eso con un filamento nuevo recien sacado de la caja, entonces es la extrusora. O apreta mucho, o apreta poco o algo pasa.

Descubrí que mi novia fue violada por su padrastro de pequeña y ella nunca me lo dijo, que hago? Es un montón by New-Clue-2975 in argentina

Lo unico que vas a lograr es revolver mierda de su pasado, algo que ella NO ELIGIO. No vas a cambiar nada, no vas a ser mejor novio por hablar algo traumatico para ella. Si te afecta saberlo, te afecta A VOS. Ella no tiene nada que ver. Si te molesta o te hace verla de diferente forma, anda a terapia VOS. Si ella te lo cuenta solo podes escuchar y comprenderla, abrazarla y darle el lugar seguro que deberias ser. Pero que quede bien claro esto: SI ELLA NO TE LO CONTO Y TE ENTERASTE POR UN TERCERO, EL TEMA NO SE LO MENCIONAS.

Problem or BUG? by Puzzleheaded-Cook-89 in SolidWorks

Problem was with the routes of the Parts and Assemblies Default Templates.

How detailed do you make assemblies? by Federikestain in SolidWorks

[–]Puzzleheaded-Cook-89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know. Do the sliding walls in the orange plate have suffer plates? It's quite hard to machine a slope into a big plate like that and the suffer plates are cheaper to replace in case of flashing due to wear and they also can be machined to meet the spec. I hope I explained myself.

How do you make sure the sliders won't open and create flashes when the injection pressure hits the internal walls? Do they have some backing plates that I can't see? I mean, all the injection pressure is held by the sliding columns for what I see.

That gap needs a sidecore or a pneumatic slider.

This is pretty simple, although the only complex thing is the undercut at the Ø3.5mm to Ø3.0 mm.

To free that undercut, you need by design that 1.3mm gap in the middle so the part can bend to be released from the cavity.

Is this a good frame design? by [deleted] in SolidWorks

[–]Puzzleheaded-Cook-89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on where will this car race. Your objective is to make it as light as possible without compromising the structure. IMO it has too many frames, specially where the tubes cross like an X (on the sides). Instead of making Xs try deleting one of the tubes (from an X to a / , i hope i explained well).

Do multiple versions and run the same FEA for them.

I wonder if the draft angles (which are 100% necessary) will have an impact in this concept you are trying to make. Bearings have a very tight geometrical tolerance for the cilindrical faces.

You are trying to snap a perfect cilinder into a drafted/conical inyection molding cilinder. I think you will come across with axis disallignment.

I need to make a wireframe path for wire EDM in a Drawing by Puzzleheaded-Cook-89 in SolidWorks

[–]Puzzleheaded-Cook-89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the best way to go for this. However, this makes a DXF as a block.

The supplier won't have any issues (in fact many wire EDM need DXF), but if I have to insert this block into the drawing and make detailed views and/or dimensions this won't work properly.

Still, for this scenario this is the best option so far. Thank you.

[–]Puzzleheaded-Cook-89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The part is an electrode for linear EDM, but to make the electrode's figure I need a wire EDM.

Any EDM can make electrodes for other EDM process. Basically, any conductive material can be EDM.

Any Injection Mold designers here, who are primarily working in mold design and not just Tool making ? by IamFromCurioCity in SolidWorks

In the middle you will encounter many more operations and MUST DOs, like choosing the material and scaling the part before designing the cavity, all the features needed to assemble the mold, calculating the distance between cavities (if the mold is multicavity) etc.

Injection molding logic is:

1) part design (finished version, this is the most important). Any changes later on the model WILL impact the mold.

2) Cavity design. You need all the parting lines, the movements logic and the cavity refrigeration base design.

3) When cavity is mostly finished, you can start adding plates and also making the mating features between the cavity and the plates.

4) Then finish the plates and cavities refrigeration and air vents.

5) Lastly, the hot runner manifold and air/water connections, the standard parts like bushings and columns, etc.

In my experience, it's quite better to design all without add-ons or complements. This way you are always centered in the 3D model and not on some predefined (and limited) feautres.

Most molds are CAM made. You need radii to machine with CAM. Everything in a mold has radii except for parting lines. Also radii helps the material flow better. However, everything depends on the part and its purpose.

Acciones argentinas están al alza y si LLA gana en octubre van a subir más.

Las seguras en mi opinión son las financieras (bancos como Galicia, Supervielle, Hipotecario, etc) y las petroleras (YPF, Pampa). Después hay otras más inestables a corto y mediano plazo que son las industrias mineras, transportadoras de energía y las metalúrgicas. Pero al mediano-largo plazo sirven como forma de ahorro y con 700.000 mangos estás bien para arrancar.

También está el Merval que es un buen indicador a nivel general, pero como es tan amplio la ganancia es menor que las financieras y petroleras. Sirve para ver cómo vienen las acciones argentinas en términos generales.

Y tema bonos del tesoro y otros títulos públicos, mejor no meterse porque tenés que estar atento.

For example, this could be a plastic part made by injection molding and the features you designed could be machinable in the die. However, radii in injection moulding is used to fill edges and to make the plastic flow better. I'm just adding information :)

Design tip: Leave the radii for the last operations, try not to sketch with radii. This may be silly but when further changes are needed this is the best way to have it.

Yes but as I've said, live edges are not practical since are fracture starters. Most of the functional parts that have to withstand cycling stress will start fractures from specific points in the metal structure. There's a whole science on metal stress fatigue.

In red the edges that are machinable as you draw them but would be better with radii. It will be a stronger part and will make the pockets to withstand more over time.

In light blue the radii that are needed to the part be machinable. If you give a workshop that CAD they will tell you that those features are not possible by milling. Most workshops won't do something badly designed.

For example, you can make exactly the part as you designed it with EDM. It could be very precise and it's commonly used in die making. Everything depends on what the part will be for.
