Scale up constraints

Written by lucas jackson | 17 August 2010

There are a few things options I typically change after installing a fresh new Inventor. I don't feel old enough to need to scale up my text and constraints but I like the look when they are larger. If you take a look at the following image this is the typical size of both text and constraints.

Using C# with the Inventor API (Part 2)

Written by lucas jackson | 16 August 2010

Here’s my second installment on some of the differences you’ll encounter when using C# to program Inventor’s API.

Property Name Differences
If a property has arguments then C# automatically converts that property into one or two methods so that there is a method that represents the read version of the property and another for the write version.

Using C# with the Inventor API (Part 1)

Written by lucas jackson | 15 August 2010

Converting the VBA program to VB.Net was relatively easy.  The conversion to C# wasn’t as easy.  In this post I want to begin covering many of the issues you’ll run into when converting VBA code to C#.

One question that might come to mind is why would you want to convert from VBA and not just write everything in C# to begin with?  The first reason is that many of the programming samples you’ll find for the Inventor API are written using VBA.  The second reason is that VBA remains the fastest and easiest way to access and use the Inventor API.  Having said that, it does have a lot of other shortcomings so I wouldn’t recommend it for general development, but if you’re not using it for prototyping you’re missing out on a very powerful tool.

file translators in inventor

Written by lucas jackson | 10 August 2010

Autodesk Inventor is known for its open approach to foreign file formats. It includes translators for import and export of many popular file formats used in the mechanical industry – you don’t to buy any additional software to read and write STEP, IGES, Parasolid, Catia files, etc. Importing foreign 3D models is a rather common and frequent job – at least I do it almost daily.

3D Printing models in Autodesk Inventor 2011

Written by lucas jackson | 09 August 2010

Although Autodesk key role is the support of digital prototyping and reducing the number of physical prototypes. It is evident that some models / prototype still need to be developed to make the concept to reality work faster.

Autodesk has in built capabilities to support 3D Printing of part models that are developed within Autodesk Inventor 2011 :-)

Note:

Pls, see my earlier article on 2D to 3D supporting CAD to RP Translation, its time now that we have this included in Inventor 2011

A 3D printing device can print a rapid prototype from an Inventor part or assembly file. The part or assembly file is saved to a format that is compatible with the 3D printer.

The Send to 3D Print Service dialog box guides you through the workflow. You set up the model in the graphics area, create the required export file, and send it to a 3D printer.

Better Parts, Better Processes Make A Hobby A Business

Written by lucas jackson | 08 August 2010

It's not unusual for a hobbyist to morph into an inventor. The natural tendency for tinkering, which defines most hobbyists, can lead to the development of new products.

Once in a while, someone comes along and develops a better process to make parts used in the hobby. And in a few cases, the hobbyist becomes so fascinated with the process that the part becomes secondary to quality engineering and production. And thus, a business is born.

That's the position Hammad Ghuman finds himself in these days. Since high school, Mr. Ghuman has been a radio-controlled car-racing enthusiast. "I guess I was always interested in mechanical things, and radio-controlled cars seemed like an exciting toy to play with," he says.

Understanding Boring Bar Deflection

Written by lucas jackson | 07 August 2010

Boring is an internal turning operation used to make holes bigger. Single-point cutting tools—boring bars—are the most commonly used tools.

As a boring bar cuts, the cutting force may be applied far from where the tool is supported. The unsupported distance between where the cut occurs and where the boring bar is clamped is its overhang. With more overhang, the boring bar can machine a deeper hole. But more overhang also increases the risk of excessive deflection and vibration. To bore deep holes effectively, a boring bar needs to have high stiffness.

The stiffness takes two forms. Dynamic stiffness resists vibration. Static stiffness resists deflection.

This article focuses on the static stiffness. Just understanding the basic equation that governs a boring bar’s deflection can reveal what steps would be most effective at making a boring process stiffer.

Cutting Forces Acting On The Boring Bar

The cutting force acting on the boring bar can be defined in terms of three components: tangential force, feed force, and radial force. (See Figure 1, below.)
