From Markforged on adding text to a part, to a private helicopter manufacturer using carbon fiber to make efficient helicopters with a high payload, we have a bit of everything for you. We hope you enjoy!

Top 1: Markforged and the Design Process to Add Text to A Part

Many 3D printed parts require writing, whether to identify the maker, or to add a personalized name for somebody in particular. In this first video, we hear from 3D printing giant Markforged on how best to add text to a printed part. The video takes us through the technical design while in the mesh file process, and how best to choose where to put the text. As we learn, we should add writing to the side of the part rather than the roof. The video also shows how to choose the thickness, size, and font of the writing.

Top 2: Dassault Systemes’ 3DEXPERIENCE Platform: A Run-Through

You may remember two of our team attending Dassault Systemes’ 3DEXPERIENCE World event a few weeks ago, and now we can tell you more about the technical side of the firm’s software! The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is used in this video by an engineering team developing a UAV. We see about the conceptual design, simulation, analysis, and detailed design stages.
