We are asked to produce six functional prototype units of a new product.
The material used must have:
- V0 flammability rating.
- HDT close to 200C.
- High dielectric and mechanical strength.
(equivalent properties of DAP or attached high temp Epoxy).
All rapid prototype suppliers that we...
Hi all,
We are designing and building a new low voltage fuse panel for a UK utility company.
Their spec says that the panel enclosure should survive for 40 years in a coastal environment.
I'm looking for ideas on what finishing/treatment/coating to use to give the enclosure a fighting chance in...
Hello there,
I have a drawing of a frame parts assembly with a parts list that shows the quantity of each part used.
I'd like to change the quantity to show the overall length instead of a count of the parts.
When I change the table to show "cut length" and "total length" no values are shown in...
Dear all, we have an Aluminium extrusion that will be used as an outlet grille on an electric heater. The part will see temperatures up to 200C (390F) for several hours daily.
We'd like to carry out an accelerated life test to verify the durability of paint/coating that is used by the supplier...
Hello all,
We are testing a heater unit in a climate room.
The climate room, however, is pretty bare and has minimum wall insulation. Therefore, whenever the heater is off, room temperature drops like a stone, which creates an unreal condition, since houses lose heat at a slower rate.
What...
A new co-worker suggested we move from using Pro/MECHANICA to RISA 3D for our FEA analyses. We use ProE and have been comfortable with Pro/M. However, it can be time consuming to setup and solve models when dealing with fairly large and complicated models.
We usually carry out an FEA to analyze...

We'd like to test the hardness of a generator shaft after a shrink fit assembly. The generator is about 200kg and is difficult to test on a regular Rockwell tester. I'm considering renting a portable hardness tester but have no experience with them. Are they reliable? How accurate they are? Any...
