CNC Machining

This video is recorded to show how the CNC machine works.

Computer Numeric Control (CNC) is the automation of machine tools that are operated by precisely programmed commands encoded on a storage medium (computer command module, usually located on the device) as opposed to controlled manually by hand wheels or levers. In modern CNC systems, end-to-end component design is highly automated using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) programs. The programs produce a computer file that is interpreted to extract the commands needed to operate a particular machine by use of a post processor, and then loaded into the CNC machines for production. CNC machining is an ideal process to manufacture a plastic or metal part that closely matches the original CAD design.

Transporter - RPWORLD

Brief introduction of "Transporter" Time is money. Normally we only choose from the Top 3 express partners in the world to deliver finished goods to our clients. Occasionally, however, the delivery timeline is too tight, and we have to use our internal "transporter". 1. QC Engineer The goal of a QC Engineer is to improve …

Words are not enough to describe our efforts on this project, I appreciate the understanding and support of Eddy (the client’s Project Engineer) in this project.

3D Printing by FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling)

This video is recorded to show how the FDM 3D printer work.

3D printing or additive manufacturing (AM) is any of various processes for making a three-dimensional object of almost any shape from a 3D model or other electronic data source primarily through additive processes in which successive layers of material are laid down under computer control.

Fused deposition modeling

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is an additive manufacturing technology commonly used for modeling, prototyping, and production applications. FDM works on an “additive” principle by laying down material in layers; a plastic filament or metal wire is unwound from a coil and supplies material to produce a part.

Highlights of Fused deposition modeling:

Standard engineering thermoplastics, such as ABS, can be used to produce structurally functional models.

Two build materials can be used, and latticework interiors are an option.

Filament of heated thermoplastic polymer is squeezed out like toothpaste from a tube.

Thermoplastic is cooled rapidly since the platform is maintained at a lower temperature.

Milling step not included and layer deposition is sometimes non-uniform so “plane” can become skewed.

Make rapid progress in past few years and be used widely.

Brief introduction of "Show Car" A show car, sometimes called a dream car, is a custom-made automobile created specifically for public display, and not for sale. It is typically shown at auto shows and other exhibitions. Producing a perfect show car in 30 calendar days can really be considered ‘Mission Impossible’. 1. Project Background August …

3D Printing by SLA (Stereolithography)

This video is recorded to show how the Stereolithography process works.

3D printing or additive manufacturing (AM) is any of various processes for making a three-dimensional object of almost any shape from a 3D model or other electronic data source primarily through additive processes in which successive layers of material are laid down under computer control.

Stereolithography

Stereolithography (SLA or SL; also known as optical fabrication, photo-solidification, solid free-form fabrication and solid imaging) is an additive manufacturing or 3D printing technology used for producing models, prototypes, patterns, and production parts up one layer at a time by curing a photo-reactive resin with a UV laser or another similar power source.

Highlights of Stereolithography:

Inexpensive compared to other techniques.

Uses a light sensitive liquid polymer.

Requires post-curing since laser is not of high enough power to completely cure.

Long-term curing can lead to warping.

Parts are quite brittle and have a tacky surface.

Support structures are typically required.

Uncured material can be toxic. Ventilation is a must.

Prototyping Development of Cross Car Beam - RPWORLD

Brief introduction of "Cross Car Beam" The Cross Car Beam (CCB) is a component located in the front of the vehicle under the instrument panel (IP). It is normally designed to support the steering column, airbags, and instrument panel, but can also support other systems depending on the complexity of the car. Aside from its …

The high level of success of the CCB project, is mainly a result of our teamwork and deep understanding of project. In my mind, not only do we supply high-quality products and outstanding services, but also we deliver even beyond stated commitment to clients; as per one of our core values: Under promise over deliver.
