GoEngineer will operate as an extension of VELO3D, dedicating resources to educate designers about the potential of SupportFree technology for their designs, as well as sales and service expertise supporting the solutions portfolio including Flow […]

by Francisco Guzman, Technical Support Lead, GoEngineer This year my 3-year-old daughter impressed me with wanting to be an astronaut for Halloween. On her own, she started learning the unique characteristics of each planet, including how many moons they have and has even corrected me when I said that Superman is from the planet Krypton: […]

While 3D printing tackles a number of challenging design and manufacturing projects, don’t forget the fun projects. by Tyler Reid A couple of summers ago, I had the opportunity to build a drone for our company’s roadshow event and, while it was challenging, it was also a ton of fun. Yes, I got paid to […]

3D printing/additive manufacturing is only one source of plastic pollution in our ecosystem. The engineers at GoEngineer offer some suggestions on dealing with unwanted plastic from 3D printing as well as from other sources. Jacob Bakovsky| Application Engineer, GoEngineer A visualized trash problem I like to question everything, especially when it comes to the environment. […]

By Mark Bashor, Manufacturing Engineer – AE, GoEngineer The Scenario: A month or so ago while perusing my LinkedIn news feed, I stumbled across a comment that inspired me to write this article. Long story short, one commenter chastised the author of the original post for using a commercial grade additive manufacturing system (3D Printer) […]

By Glen Chancellor, 3D Printing Specialist, GoEngineer Some say Chip Foose is the father of the modern hot rod. He is a celebrity within the automotive world, best known for hosting the show “Overhaulin” on the Discovery Channel where he and his team take run-down vehicles and make them into custom-built hot rods. Chip and […]

by Jacob Bakovsky, Application Engineer, GoEngineer The marketing department challenged me to create a fun, 3D printed train for kids. I wanted to make something that was easy to print and assemble, a functional train that would go around a floor or table. Plus, I wanted a train that didn’t require a track, one that […]

Ryan Dark, Technical Support Manager, GoEngineer While sitting in a quarterly operating and planning meeting next to Brad Hanson, who at the time was CEO of GoEngineer, I saw he had the newest iPhone, and I asked if he had used its inductive charger (to charge the battery wirelessly). I had just learned how to […]

By Ryan Dark Printer tips for our Stratasys 3D printers get disorganized quickly in the drawer near our machines. The tips are packaged in cylindrical canisters that look similar to old-time house fuses, and they all seem to bounce around the drawer every time you open it. Joshua Zuniga, our rapid prototyping technical manager, asked […]

by Brian Johnson, Application Engineer, GoEngineer My enthusiasm for Halloween comes from memories of my father dressing up as something scary and trying to give the kids (and sometimes parents) a little scare. Even today, I am still inclined to make a costume, glue things to my face, and change my skin and hair color […]

For Mark Bashor, manufacturing engineer at GoEngineer, 3D printing used to be just a bullet point from a manufacturing technology class. He came to appreciate how easy it could make the development of jigs and fixtures after a stint as a part-time junior manufacturing engineer at a company that made aircraft landing gear and other […]

Paul Nishihira, GoEngineer Application Engineer Since purchasing my Ducati in 1996, I’ve had a love-hate relationship with it. When the weather is right, the motorcycle is freshly detailed, and the engine mechanics are in complete adjustment, there is no better feeling in the world like aggressively shifting through gears at wide-open throttle cresting an apex […]

3D printing can be used for all types of products, but there are nuances that will help you obtain the best part. One of those nuances is part positioning.  Here, Randle Wood gives an example of what works and what doesn’t in 3D printing part positioning. Part 1: Failure             As […]

The design job is not always problem solving for engineers, especially when you have a 3D printer. Sometimes, it’s just fun. According to Tyler Reid, a CAD, CAM, and a 3D printing specialist at GoEngineer and team leader on this project, “Stop-motion video is cool, but film making is not easy! Although the video SHeLvEd is […]

By Arunachalam Thiraviam, SOLIDWORKS Simulation product specialist with GoEngineer.  Although a compliant torsional spring does not resemble a conventional helical spring used in many mechanical devices, it has a similar function: offering resistance to an external force. In contrast to helical springs that resist compression or tension through their geometry, compliant torsional springs resist torsion. The […]

The mechanical design of parts hasn’t changed much in the last century until the development of additive manufacturing. It now seems reasonable to believe that 3D printing has begun a new era of innovative designs that are more efficient and organically shaped. Today, end-use parts are being produced with 3D printing technologies that are often […]

Direct benefits to the bottom-line are a motivating factor A leaner supply chain, coupled with minimal inventory and warehousing of parts, has direct benefits to the bottom-line, which could become a reason to accelerate the adoption of 3D printing technology at your company. The traditional supply chain model typically involves product development, prototyping, production, distribution, […]

When you need to make small changes to one part, one of the best tools to use is 3D printing. Stop-motion film production is one of those applications that require hundreds of small changes to one part. GoEngineer helped Motion Foundry Studios with its 3D printing needs. Michelangelo said, “If people knew how hard I […]
