Revolutionizing Digital Manufacturing: Unveiling the Enhanced V2.2.0 Platform

 On March 3, 2022, we released version V2.2.0 of our state-of-the-art digital manufacturing platform. This updated interface is more intuitive and user-friendly, allowing for streamlined project configuration and a transparent view of the entire manufacturing process. With this update, you spend less time uploading, quoting, and ordering your custom parts and gain more time to focus on other pertinent projects. One notable feature that remains consistent in this release is our free online design for manufacturability (DFM) analysis, which is now more visually apparent within our instant quoting platform.

This article will provide an overview of the key features of our new platform release that can significantly expedite your design-to-quotation-to-final-product cycle.

Placing an Order

Creating a quote with our platform begins by selecting a technology from our four main services: CNC machining, Sheet Metal Fabrication, Injection Molding, or 3D Printing. After choosing a service—for example, CNC Machining—you then upload your CAD design files. 

Our innovative instant quoting algorithm promptly analyzes complex geometries, provides pricing data within five seconds, and supports file sizes up to 15MB in STEP, STP, and STL formats.

Next, you will adjust the quantity, material, and surface finish for each part. We offer hundreds of materials and finishes for versatile needs; these are easily searchable in a drop-down menu. Prices are immediately updated as you modify configurations for transparency.

The final steps are reviewing DFM feedback provided by our system, selecting lead times and shipping methods, viewing a distilled summary at checkout, and proceeding to production after payment. 

Maintain Visibility

You continuously maintain awareness of order status via real-time updates regarding stage completions such as material preparation, start production, quality inspection, and more. Additionally, notifications occur through e-mail once there's a change in order status, making it easy to track your item's manufacture and delivery.

Manage All Orders in One Location

Our platform allows quite manageable overseeing of multiple orders, from configuration details to DFM analysis, invoices, inspection reports, and production status. This is achievable with the "My Quotes" and "My Orders" tabs' help on our site's left side. To request a new quotation, click "New Quote" and upload your design files.

Accelerate Manufacture with Our Instant Quoting Platform

As an established leader in digital manufacturing for rapid prototyping and custom parts production, we provide a range of automated processes: CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, and 3D printing. 

Our technology-driven solution capitalizes on proprietary algorithms, allowing instant quotes that are accurate, competitive, inclusive of free DFM feedback, and complete with transparent production tracking.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience what our innovative V2.2.0 update has to offer. Upload your project today and start moving your concepts into reality!

The Role of Crush Ribs in Injection Molding

 Injection molding is a critical process for producing plastic parts and designs. While it may be relatively straightforward, manufacturers often face challenges when dealing with press-fit connections without the use of crush ribs. Crush ribs are small features added to molding designs to improve the stability of press-fit connections. These structures are typically about a tenth of an inch in diameter and require an interference of about 0.01 inches between fitted parts. Crush ribs are commonly used in holes or other components that need to be press-fit with another part. There are two types of crush rib designs: traditional (pointed) and rounded. Both designs effectively create a tight fit when in contact with other components during assembly. However, pointed ribs can increase overall fabrication costs since they require cutting into molds with Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM). On the other hand, rounded ribs can be milled directly into molds like other components, making t...

Mastering Hotends in 3D Printing: Types, Selection Tips, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting

In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the world of hotends for 3D printers. We'll explain what hotends are, how they work, and provide tips on choosing the best one for your needs. Additionally, we'll offer troubleshooting and maintenance advice to ensure optimal performance. https://www.want.net/cnc-machining/ What are Hotends? Hotends are essential components used in FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printers. Their main function is to melt the plastic filament that is pushed into them by an extruder. These hotends consist of a heated chamber controlled by a heating element and a thermistor for temperature regulation. The bottom part of the hotend has a removable nozzle that deposits the melted material onto the build plate of the printer. Hotends are primarily used for printing plastics with low melting temperatures that can cool quickly. How Do Hotends Work in 3D Printing? Hotends form part of the extruder assembly in 3D printers. The plastic filament enters the ...

Achieving Consistent and Dependable Results

When it comes to 3D printing, achieving repeatable and predictable results is crucial. However, it's important to view the first print as a trial run during the design phase. It's perfectly fine if the initial piece doesn't turn out as expected because additive processes are relatively inexpensive compared to CNC machining, and they have shorter lead times. To increase the chances of success, one strategy is to employ the "shotgun approach" by conducting multiple attempts simultaneously. This allows you to test different offsets and determine which ones work best for your specific process. For larger prints, it's advisable to focus on testing only critical features. Doing so helps save time and reduces potential complications. Additionally, when it comes to CNC machining, precision is key. Understanding the design requirements and tolerances is essential to maximize its capabilities. If a design is created with standard tolerances, there is a risk of an incomp...
