on a goal towards additive aerospace
Designed to be 3D printed in place and without any support, this locomotive pulls all the stops when it comes to DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacture). Wheels unclip and shear open, the cabin is removable and the smoke prints with a second color.
Design assignment from 3d-printingspecialist. Based on traditional Swedish LOKET machinist practice.
To reduce the build volume, the chassis-boiler-cabin section will collapse in on itself in a telescoping fashion and the roof will be on a slider so it can fully extend after printing. This requires a significant amount of CAD modifications. This complex design requires careful consideration with respect to tolerances so that all parts can… Continue reading Loket 5
CAD to printed prototype There is a customer in need of a 3d printed prototype of a toy train. The customer’s desire is to compare the 3d printed PLA version of the design with one that has been machined traditionally out of stainless steel. They supply us with a CAD drawing in STP file format… Continue reading Loket 4
