Model-Based Definition can help reduce counterintuitive and ambiguous interpretations in 2D drawings while accelerating production time and quality inspections.

Product manufacturing information, or PMI, is critical to digital inspection reporting. PMI is any non-geometric data included within a 3D CAD file.

The design rules for 3D printing are still being developed, but there are some key design considerations that you should check before production.

These design guidelines will help you create durable living hinges that add functionality to your injection-molded parts and reduce manufacturing costs.

IoT promises widespread automation and data exchange, which will change the way we work and live.

Secondary operations on 3D-printed parts can improve performance and enhance cosmetics.

A comparison between aluminum and steel tooling for injection-molded parts.

We deconstruct the layers of 3D printing to find the substance beneath the style.

The Engineerist is a three-part blog series written by Michael Corr, founder of Los Angeles-based manufacturing consulting firm, DuroLabs. This is part one.

High-performance materials can be molded to produce parts that can withstand extreme temperatures.

How to use the SOLIDWORKS tool, DFMXpress, to check hole depths, difficult to mill features, sharp corners, deep pockets, and more.

5-axis indexed milling isn’t to be confused with true 5-axis machining, which allows for continuous machining of all three axes and the two rotational axes.
