How additive manufacturing helps designers tune compliant torsional springs
By Arunachalam Thiraviam, SOLIDWORKS Simulation product specialist with GoEngineer. Although a compliant torsional spring does not resemble a conventional helical spring used in many mechanical devices, it has a similar function: offering … [Read more...] about How additive manufacturing helps designers tune compliant torsional springs
3D Printing removes design constraints of the past
By Arvind Krishnan The mechanical design of parts hasn’t changed much in the last century until the development of additive manufacturing. It now seems reasonable to believe that 3D printing has begun a new era of innovative designs that are more … [Read more...] about 3D Printing removes design constraints of the past

How traditional supply chain models will be affected by 3D printing
Direct benefits to the bottom-line are a motivating factor A leaner supply chain, coupled with minimal inventory and warehousing of parts, has direct benefits to the bottom-line, which could become a reason to accelerate the adoption of 3D … [Read more...] about How traditional supply chain models will be affected by 3D printing
3D Printing 100,000 versions of one part
When you need to make small changes to one part, one of the best tools to use is 3D printing. Stop-motion film production is one of those applications that require hundreds of small changes to one part. GoEngineer helped Motion Foundry Studios with … [Read more...] about 3D Printing 100,000 versions of one part
Forget about the cool factor – 3D printing saves time and money
This guest blog is by Tyler Reid, Manufacturing Application Manager, GoEngineer The idea of iterative design – the cyclic process of prototyping, testing, analyzing, and refining a product – existed long before additive manufacturing, but was … [Read more...] about Forget about the cool factor – 3D printing saves time and money
