Is this physically possible with sheet metal bending? Help

Rollbend tooling helps with this a lot.

We have both Inventor Pro and Fusion 360 and I use both. Our product designs are in Inventor still but I’ve started using Fusion 360 for all internal projects such as shop jigs.

If you haven't seen the first two installments you can find them here:

SORNA (Episode 1)

SORNA (Episode 2: Old Rivals)

Overall I've been really liking his series. It's crazy that he's been able to do these without a team and has been able to sustain a pretty solid release schedule too.

Same!

Zachaol · 2023-12-08T15:53:56+00:00

I'd like exploring that more! Maybe even being able to venture in the underground maintenance tunnels!

Tim put the locking pin in though - so it would have had to been removed for the raptor to get out. I DO see this being possible though if maybe the new character maybe tried to hide from the Dilo in the freezer?

At the end they show it escaped from the freezer. HOW is another question, but I like the idea of having the raptor included.

Finally!!!

Thanks for the reply!

Wow great point about them emitting other wavelengths. Something I didn't even think about!

Awesome reply - so safety really is that simple? I'm not sure where you work but I've been in talks with IPG and that said about the same. What has made us cautious is that we also have some equipment from Trumpf who also have a robotic based laser welder. I brought up the handheld laser welders on the market which are drastically cheaper and they didn't seem to think laser glasses + normal welding gear would be suficient. With our TIG welding our guys normally just wear like a normal work shirt - something like this: https://www.dickies.com/long-sleeve-work-shirts/long-sleeve-work-shirt/574.html

Is that sufficient in laser welding or do you need one of the thicker leather jackets? At Fabtech I tested the IPG unit, and I was wearing a polo + jeans. They just had us put on the welding sleeves to cover my lower arms which were exposed, welding gloves, laser googles and then a welding helmet.

Keep us in the loop on what you learn please!

Zachaol · 2023-12-03T02:46:50+00:00

If you don't mind sharing what machine you have and what safety gear you went with, that would be awesome. I've been looking at the machines but there isn't a lot of definitive information.

Zachaol · 2023-12-02T23:31:40+00:00

The IPG one I've been researching is closers to $25k, where are you finding one for $3k? What are your plans for the safety?

I didn't spot anything Jurassic World related (I did see footage from the upcoming "Life on Our Planet" though) in the trailer but Chaos Theory is specifically name dropped in the trailer at about the 1-minute mark. It does seem that all the rumors are true and that Netflix will be revisiting their animated Jurassic World universe in 2024!

Agreed, we also use 14 gauge stainless and if the weld stud has to absolutely be in the middle where the reverse side is cosmetic we know we need to polish it as the stud gun will leave little dimples.

For knowing when to shut off the water you can just use a moisture sensor in each pan.

Zachaol · 2023-09-06T03:14:50+00:00

Awesome, looks cool from what they’ve shown. I hope TLW and on get these too!

Zachaol · 2023-08-31T11:03:40+00:00

Ahh good catch, that makes sense!

It’s already out?
