Lessons

• Mechanical Design: Extrusion

  The extrusion process is used to create parts that have constant 2D profiles
• Mechanical Design:Teardown

  Employers said that one of the primary things they look for in job applicants is experience tinkering and taking apart products.
• Mechanical Design: MFG Processes Summary

• Mechanical Design: Soft Tooling

  Soft tooling is a "bridge" process used when a relatively low number of parts (typically less than 50) are desired but near-production material properties are also needed.
• Mechanical Design: 3D Scanning

  3D scanning is used to create a "point cloud" (thousands and thousands of points in a 3D space) that define the geometry of the part being scanned.
• Mechanical Design: 3D Printing

  There are many different types (technologies) of 3D printing
• Mechanical Design: Plating & Finishes

  Finishes allow you to enhance the cosmetic quality, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance (against rust
• Mechanical Design: Joining Processes

  A fastener is a common piece of hardware that mechanically joins or affixes two or more objects together.
• Mechanical Design: EDM

  Sheet metal fabrication uses metal sheets of a constant thickness and forms them into shapes with a bending process.
• Mechanical Design: Sheet Metal

  Sheet metal fabrication uses metal sheets of a constant thickness and forms them into shapes with a bending process.
• Mechanical Design: Plastic Injection Molding Video 1

  Among modern manufacturing processes plastic injection molding is arguably the most common
• Mechanical Design: Laserjet & Waterjet Cutting

  Two major cutting process manufacturers commonly use when cutting material include laser cutting and water jet cutting
• Mechanical Design: Machining

  Machining is a process in which an object is formed by removing material from a block.
• Mechanical Design: Die Casting

  Die casting is similar to plastic injection molding in that molten material is poured or injected into a hollow cavity (the tool) and allowed to cool in this cavity to produce the final shape of the part.
