Process engineering at Intel

Here is a great video showing a glimpse of what is happening in the life of a process engineer working at Intel.


3D printed Globe

One of the benefits of rapid prototyping is the ability to virtually print everything. Here is a 3D printed globe made from a 3D printer

Here is a short video showing how a similar model was printed.


How to edit an STL file

STL files are quite popular these days, and one can really use them as he/she likes. To Edit an STL file, you first need an editor which you can download online for free.

Here is a quick tutorial on how to edit STL files with FreeCAD


Rendering in AutoCAD

Rendering is an important part of 3D designing. Most time, it is needed to render for the client to have a clearer vision of what the actual object would like if 3D-printed.

Though I do not like rendering in AutoCAD that much, here is a smooth tutorial that will help you have a glimpse at what rendering is in AutoCAD. 


Free 3D printer files

Today, Designing a 3D model has been made so simple that anyone can, with the minimum time possible create a custom 3D model. Here is how it works; There are a bunch of free 3D model free to download on the internet these days and those model can be download in a min and customized to fit your need thanks to the number of free STL editor you can find on the internet today.



Here are few places where you can find free 3D printer files:

3D printing and Fidget spinners

The Advantages of rapid prototyping are numerous though I would only like to point out the latest trend on the market that is fidget spinners.

Fidget spinners are all over the place these days, and from a personal experience, I can say that it helps kids calm down a bunch and most importantly help them stay away from phones.

With the help of 3D printing, everyone can invent its own version of the device.

Engineering consulting

To consult roughly means to seek information or advice from, If I were talking about consulting in engineering, the first thing that comes to mind would be: an entity involved in the process of working with contractors or being a contractor oneself.
