The perks of 3D collaborative modeling.
An engineer´s story. John and Miguel are fictional characters created for the sole purpose to express the daily struggles that engineers live when they are trying to achieve a design process without the use of 3D collaborative tools. A struggle that can become hard to sustain in a competitive world without 3D collaborative tools. THE […]
3D manufacturing: Which One to Use: Aluminum or Stainless Steel?
The never-ending decision-making process of an engineer in its daily routine. If you ask an engineer the answer to the 3D manufacturing question “Which one to use: Aluminum or Stainless Steel?” the answer will always be the same, “it depends”. As engineers, we are on a constant decision-making process, and to make those decisions, we […]

The 3D printing process has evolved tremendously over the last years. This additive manufacturing process allows to develop complex pieces with different kind of materials, including metal 3D printing. Nevertheless, as in every engineering project, there is still a lot of choices to make if you choose Metal 3D printing. Making the right choice of […]
Use of 3D CAD Software for Water Jet Cutting
The applications of 3D CAD software in Water Jet Cutting is multiple and varied. One of them is the programming of water jet cutting machines. Water jet cutting is a mechanical process based on erosion, using water pressures at extremely high speeds (4137 bar or more) to cut any type of material. Below we explain […]
3D Collaboration skills inside an engineering team.
3D Collaboration skills: Design teams are built in different forms according to their needs and limitations. These needs are related to the level of complexity of the project and its magnitude. If your team is designing a briefcase, one engineer and one 3D modeler could be enough. If your team is designing a race car, you […]
Why measuring your 3D project teamwork matter?
In every design project, there are main goals guiding 3D project teamwork and decisions. There are also specific goals that help to understand, outlining and defining the daily tasks and activities needed to accomplish the main ones. In order to measure the task of a 3D project teamwork and its progress, team leaders rely on […]
Research skills for Engineers, a must-have.
Introduction Research skills for Engineers: Starting a new project is a big headache even if the objectives are clear. After the initial goals and ideas are placed, questions like “What to do next?” and “Where do we go now?” start to arise, and often, these questions do not bring clear answers, adding more anxiety. Engineers […]
How to make a profit out of a 3D modeling hobby?
3D modeling hobby Sometimes, the best way to train your 3D modeling skills is not training them at all. Sometimes just the hobby of doing 3D pieces, such an action figures, scale size cars, funny designs of daily needed tools such as pencils, or any idea you can come up to in your 3D Modeling […]
