October 15, 2015       Articles Get the Most Out of Your FDM 3-D Printer J.B. Babcock, Taylor Technologies Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3-D printers are becoming pretty common and affordable these days, from the small, inexpensive $1,400 MakerBots up to the huge $750,000 Fortus machines. As you would expect, you can print one-piece prototypes of your rigid plastic parts, but did you know there is a whole spectrum of other things you can accomplish with your machine?

The way products were designed in the late 90's is nearly the same process as it is today. Over the last 5 years, though, companies have started to reevaluate their entire product development workflow, including the design process, for ways to speed up time to market while decreasing costs and accelerating innovation. Join Ansys and SpaceClaim for this exclusive webinar to discuss the reinvention of the design workflow.  Basics of Design The Basics of Multi-Passage Soft-Seal Rotating UnionsSponsored by Deublin Farming combines, drilling rigs, tool manufacturing, converting, packaging and steel mills are just a few examples that employ multi-passage soft-seal rotary unions. These types of unions or couplings allow the transfer of hydraulics and pneumatics, while rotating or swiveling a cylinder or spindle that’s connected to stationary objects such as pipes or other equipment. So, why are these mechanisms such an important component of manufacturing or industrial applications?
