It certainly could be a problem with lids, but it may also be related to unintended leaks or a problem with your study options. Use Check Geometry to visualize the internal closed volume. If the area you think is enclosed isn't actually enclosed, use Leak Tracking to find the hole and close it up.

The candy cane shape was arbitrary for this video, you can use a helix or projected curve as the path and repeat the process of twisting around that helix as many times as needed. The hard part will be determining the pitch of twist and keeping track of how many curves need to be generated for all of the wires.

Absolutely! I hope you can make it to the event. If not we'll post the video here after it is over.

@@MLCCADSystems pls post video. I was searching for this type info. Thank you

We've got you covered! The video will be going live very soon.

Here is the video ua-cam.com/video/c1hwvbiE-WE/v-deo.html, if you enjoy it we would appreciate a sub!

Yes, and there are a few ways to do it. If you check out a file, it is locked for you only. If you have complete the design you can use a workflow to lock it from everyone until they start a new revision. You can also set permissions by folder or file type. I hope that helps!

We are happy to help, please give us a call at 800-364-1652 or reach out on our website www.mlc-cad.com/contact-us/ and we would be happy to discuss your needs.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you Mark!

Your local reseller is the best resource for licensing issues. They will have access to your account and can resolve any issues you encounter. If you are an MLC customer, you can create a case or get our contact information at mlc-cad.com

There is an allowance for variation built into the test to account for service packs or other variation sources. I assume your answer would be correct and should not disrupt any related questions, but I don't know the exact accuracy range they use.

@@MLCCADSystems Thanks a lot!

Yes. Measuring and reporting the mass of the part is how they determine if you built the model correctly. If your mass does not match up with the provided answer key, you have missed something important and would not get the correct answer. Double check dimensions and the material definition until you get the correct answer.

That's great to hear, thank you!

Thank you!

This is a video describing how to manage files, not a traditionally exciting topic, so we added a fun model to keep things interesting. If you look at the feature tree for the part it is a series of lofts that creates an optical illusion. It's just for fun, good catch!

Absolutely, thanks for the positive comment and for watching!

Please register for this webinar event tomorrow, I saw a preview and it addresses this exact question in a very compelling way! Even if you can't make the time we will email you a link to the recording. www.mlc-cad.com/events/one-machine-one-day-hundreds-of-parts-making-the-most-of-an-sls-3d-printer/

The Fuse system, especially when you add the Sift and Blast units, are ideal for large volumes of small parts! The build chamber can be removed for external cooling, the unfused powder can be reused, and the blast tumbler makes post processing so simple.

@@MLCCADSystems right now we've been looking between the Fuse and Lisa ecosystems. I've been deep-diving information and videos to compare and contrast. Its not our first foray into 3D printing, but SLS is new.

If we can answer any specific questions let us know, SLS is definitely an impressive technology. Thank you for reaching out!

Here is the SLS webinar if you didn't get a chance to catch it already. ua-cam.com/video/QiAD7u6gCAw/v-deo.html The Fuse system allows for cooling and powder recovery outside the machine, which means you can keep the printer running nearly non-stop without worrying about the cool down period. It also automates clean-up with the blast cabinet that rotates parts and de-ionizes them for a powder-free finish without requiring the operator to touch every part. Good luck in your search!

The adaptive solution has been available for a very long time. Not all study types support adaptive meshing, make sure you are in a linear static study to access this feature.

Imagine taking an entire training course from Jarred! We try to have fun, glad you enjoyed it!

A contour toolpath could be used, but we may also need to modify the post to have the correct orientation locked when doing a broach operation. The spindle as the default output would want to rotate and we would need an option to allow the toolpath to suppress this and move to a proper fixed position. Let us know if we can help you build or customize a post here: www.mlc-cad.com/services/cnc-post-processors/

That's great, thanks for sharing! Arc filtering is a must-have for older or hobbyist machines, and still helpful even with newer ones.

Thank you! Happy the video was able to help you solve a problem with your mold. 😁

Congrats!! 31 years of machining is really impressive, as another educational resource we also provide Mastercam training if you ever want to pursue that route. - www.mlc-cad.com/training/mastercam/

Thank your for the heart. I machine submarine parts now. 32 bucks and hour to start. Just started a month ago. They have 3 brand spanking new okumas. Also I have Daewoo Puma and a Doosan that does communicate with mastercam. Okumas do not. Their programming department sucks. So I do have access now to a person as you. I asked my foreman how do I learn more. Work here he said, lol. Have a wonderful weekend. You videos will help me retire.

@@anthonymalfino1 😎 Thanks Anthony, truly appreciate all the kind words. Good luck at the new job!

Sorry about that, this video wasn't recorded in full HD because it is much older but is still a great introduction to the workflow of programming. I'm glad you appreciate the content, if you want more like this you can also check out CADSharp.com.

😁Happy you enjoyed the video Ryan! Thank you for the kind words!

Great question, this video assumes someone at your company has already performed several actions ahead of time. 1) Install and configure SOLIDWORKS PDM on a server computer for your company. 2) Install PDM client and a local vault view on your local computer and provided you with login information (if needed) The screen in this video is simply Windows File explorer, but when you navigate into the local vault view folder (it looks like a blue circle icon) then you will see the additional information coming from the vault. The information you see in the video is a part of the PDM client installation and will only be visible when you are navigating inside a PDM vault view. I hope that helps, if you have additional questions about this talk to your company's PDM administration team. If you don't have PDM yet and would like to learn more about it, contact your reseller. If that is us, you can reach out on our website www.mlc-cad.com/contact-us/

It is an example part from Mastercam designed to illustrate several manufacturing challenges in a single part that can be shared freely. You can download it and other example parts at Mastercam.com in the Tech Exchange.

The specifications seem too good to be true but so far it really lives up to the hype! Thanks for watching and let us know if you have additional questions we can answer. www.mlc-cad.com/formlabs/formlabs-sla/

We didn't print every part we sliced in this webinar, but we followed the Formlabs recommendations to prepare each one. Other than our very first part (which was very big and challenging) we have had zero issues with printing and we always follow the guidelines we show in this video. I hope that helps!

That is a great idea, thank you for the suggestion! I passed it along to our team to add our list of videos to create.

My problem in particular was that when I programmed the drill then bore. It didn’t register the hole size from the drill And just tried to do a g70 pass for the bore.

This is a great question to pose to your support provider. If you are an MLC CAD Systems customer, you can reach out to your local team or the full team with the information here: www.mlc-cad.com/technical-support/ You may also want to review this Advanced Lathe Tips and Tricks webinar that goes into more detail on the topics you're interested in: www.mlc-cad.com/advanced-lathe-tips-tricks/

There is a common error that happens when you have redundant mates that I was trying to recreate as an illustration, but the solver gave me an ACCURATE answer. I WANTED to create an incorrect result to show you what it looks like when the error happens, but it overcame my poor study setup and gave me accurate results instead. -5 lb is the correct and intuitive answer. I was expecting to see an incorrect one but failed into the correct answer.

Thank you!

You're welcome!

@@MLCCADSystems Honestly when I made that comment, I was super stressed out for my upcoming exam and just wanted to show my appreciation in a very short time. Now I can take my time and express my gratitude towards your extremely helpful video. It helped me pass the exam yesterday. Thank you so much for all the videos you made for us. I wish you the best .

Thank you for sharing your input, it sounds like your front-line support is not serving your needs. If you are in the United States, I recommend contacting our CAM team about your issues; perhaps we can assist. 800-364-1652. Our team and our customers are having a lot of success with this product and it provides an invaluable tool for validation and problem prevention.

A lid can be any geometry. The lid creation tool is only for very simple lids, you can create any solid geometry you want.

Tabs can be added along the perimeter of the part as shown in this video series. Im not sure if I fully understand the nature of your question, but if you are an MLC customer we would be happy to talk it over with you.

It sounds like there might be a specific question or application you are looking for. If you are an MLC CAD Systems customer I recommended discussing this with your local team or reaching out to support to discuss your application. We can answer all of your questions. I will relay the request to the team too in case they are able to create a video on this.

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Agreed, depending on your industry and equipment 4x10 is a common standard size.

Generally speaking this type of error happens when your motor is trying to move something beyond a physical constraint such as a contact or a mate. Consider reducing your time step, relaxing your accuracy, and/or slowing down the motion to monitor the behavior and make sure it isn't moving past an obstruction. For questions like this, I recommend reaching out to your support provider for additional support on your specific motion study. If that is MLC CAD Systems you can get our contact information or submit a case online at www.mlc-cad.com/technical-support/

We don't have this model available for download. If you are looking for a hands on example you can follow along, check out Solid Professor or our live instructor led training at www.mlc-cad.com/training/solidworks/calendar/

The behavior should stay the same, but I don't recall testing this situation to confirm. The existence of surface bodies simply means that is how the model was built or exported.

Pack and Go is designed to duplicate files for several possible uses. If you are creating an archive to a zip file or separate drive, renaming files often isn't required as the files are physically separated from the originals. If you are creating an alternative design and want unique new file names, add a prefix, suffix, or search and replace values to avoid duplication of file names. If you don't want certain files duplicated you can de-select them or manually rename them as needed. Study the dialog to ensure you will get the expected results before running the utility.

Right-click on one or more mates and select Mate Controller from the menu.

It is as simple as it is shown in the video. Create the full model and set up the flow study as you normally would, then adjust the computational domain to use the Symmetry boundary condition and set the location of the symmetry plane. The new domain is represented with solid lines, and the "other side" is represented with dashed lines. The model visually looks like it is cut in half already, but that is because he has a section view active to visually represent the domain of the new study. The only other modifications required are to adjust boundary conditions if they aren't already defined in a per-unit-area way or are independent of the area such as the velocity or temperature. This tech tip video does require that you know how to use Flow Simulation generally but have not yet tried to utilize symmetry or periodicity in the domain.

@@MLCCADSystems alright got it thanks.

Thanks for the feedback!

@@MLCCADSystems oh now I feel like a complete jackA** because you are so nice in your reply. Sorry :)

It's totally fine, and we really do appreciate the input. Not all resellers maintain local support from local employees, and we don't support all locations. All are welcome to benefit from these instructional videos, but we want to make sure our local customers and prospects know when we're nearby for them. We've adjusted our approach since making these videos and we are always improving!

@@MLCCADSystems I really enjoy the short but clearly communicated and detailed videos that show the CFD process from start to finish. A massive turn off for my brain is clicking on a guide video when I know it's 15+ min or got heaps of random filler comments. You guys are doing great and I massively appreciate the guide vids. The only critique I would have is making the exact same model you use in your videos downloadable in the video description so watchers/clients can follow EXACTLY along. perhaps NDAs are stopping you sharing that tho, no worries either way
