3D Printing for Digital Prototyping and Modeling

Simply owning a 3D printing machine doesn't
mean one is qualified to create working prototypes.

Engineers desire to present their ideas to companies that may take an interest in their products. To do so, many turn to digital printing to produce working, stable prototypes.  Problems arise however, when trying to find a company that has the capabilities to produce the superior results designers and engineers require.

Models Versus Simple Files

Schematics, drawings, sketches and various 2D representations are fine when at the beginning stage of product development, but serious engineers will want to have a more tangible concept to hand inventors when the time comes. Why leave an idea to the imagination of people who may not fully get the concept, especially if we are talking about a new form of technology that may be hard to explain.

While it isn't wholly necessary to have a a working model of your design, if at all possible, making the item as functional as one can may assist interested parties in ascertaining the market potential of a given gadget, product or device.

3D printing comes to the rescue, giving engineers, designers and related craftsman the ability to actualize their projects in a fast efficient manner.

How It's Done

The amazing thing about digital prototype creation is not only the speed of creation, but how exacting and precise it can be. The process begins with an engineer's or designer's image files, which are then re-evaluated and manipulated, usually via a CAD or Computer Aided Design process. This phase of the process can be culled from a variety of files, one need ask the company what they can utilize for optimum results.

The next step is to a launch said design in a 3D Modeling platform/software. In cases where a product already exists in a rudimentary form, a 3D scanner could be used. As the length of time spent on the project can vary depending on size and scale, the build can take a few hours or even a few days (to build up parts from design specs). Expert engineers in the field of 3D modeling and printing know this and can give adequate estimates of the time frames required for a precision model comp.

Who to Trust

Many pop up shops are trying to cash in on the relatively new phenomenon of consumer grade mass produced 3d printing products, but don't be fooled. Simply owning a 3D printing machine doesn't mean one is qualified to create working prototypes. If you want to ensure that your concept is actualized to even the minutest of details, you will want confider a shop that specializes in CNC milling and EDM machining.

Why?

CNC/EDM machinists have the know-how and expertise to bring products to roaring life. They are largely used to crafting items to exacting measurements and specifications so the concept will come as close to the end product design as reasonably possible. The best shops also employ the use of quality controls in their post production phase so that the model meets satisfactory standards/conditions.

Tight Deadlines are Arbiser's Specialty

One of the many things customers love about Arbiser Machine is the fact that we produce excellent result quickly. Indeed, one never has to sacrifice quality for speed, as we can turnaround even the tightest deadlines.

Business moves at the speed of light, so manufacturers have to be able to keep up with both supply and demand in order to keep industrial cogs turning. We at Arbiser understand this fundamental principle, which is why we strive to produce client’s models and prototypes to spec in a fair time frame. Decades of experience and expert machinists are the primary reason why we function so efficiently, as these factors often play a large part in making sure deadlines are met and product quality remains assured.

CNC Milling and Turning – The Art of Precision

Arbiser Machine experienced CNC engineers
comprehend the importance of their work.

Manufacturing is an extremely multifaceted industry, whose pulse can be felt within a wide array of fields. 

At the center of this buzzing hub are engineers who are integral to creating not only product form but function.

They are the nuts and bolts of a complex mechanism that could not exist without them and for this reason we can effectively call them industrial artists. 

Indeed, it takes a certain amount of skill and creativity to hone quality components for such a diverse, vibrant industry. Among the artisans that grace the trade are CNC engineers, the best of whom recognize that they bring a fine tuned skill to manufacture related projects.

What is a CNC Engineer?

A CNC engineer is well versed on the specifics of CNC machinery and is educated regarding the analyzing of computer numerical control programs/databases. CNC engineers are also largely responsible for testing and or repairing complex machinery so that it remains in tip top shape. For this reason, CNC engineers are one of the primary reasons why products are crafted to exacting specs. In other words, they are an essential part of the precision team that develops products to work the way they are supposed to 100 percent of the time.

A CNC's duties may not end there, in fact, senior CNC engineers often train shop newbies, cluing them on the various ins and outs of a company’s processes and particular equipment. They could be required to remain up on the latest and greatest technologies via research as well as speak with potential clients who are interested in milling and machining services.

Because we are using the latest and greatest tech tools available, we can also promise top notch quality on time, every time. This of course, leads to long lasting business relationships, the life blood of any company, large or small.~ Edward T.Designer/Engineer, Arbiser Machine

Sub Categories of CNC Engineering

Because CNC engineering is such a specialized field, it splinters into a variety of sub groups with functions that are essential to ensuing a CNC Milling shop runs efficiently.  The top tier positions within this group include, but are not limited to, CNC machinist, CNC programmer, CNC operator and the CNC setup person. These individuals largely hold degrees in mechanical engineering or CNC programming, and must possess the ability to be self motivators as well as team players.

CNC engineers can also be quality inspectors as they are best able to realize a project at the completion stage. This is where the precision craft truly establishes itself, as it is this final step that makes or breaks a products viability.

CNC Machining Post Production Values

CNC engineering polishes the final form of a design, looking it over for fatal flaws or aspects that could cause the end product to fail. It's here that a CNC machinist’s educational and skill comes into play, as it will take practiced eyes and expert hands to filter through the variables that can cause problems with a given item. Experienced CNC engineers comprehend the importance of their work and take the quality control aspect extremely seriously.

Customer Appreciation

While this would appear to be a no brainer, one would be surprised how often businesses fail on this principle alone, especially in the manufacturing business. Clients who have been failed by other companies often come to Arbiser Machine after their needs were not met. The most frequent complaint is the blatant disregard for deadlines.  Many corporations have had to halt imperative productions due to a CNC/EDM shop refusal to adhere to agree upon schedules. This is often done with little advanced notice, explanation or apology.  How can any business feel appreciated and heard when they are treated this way? An EDM milling and machining shop like Arbiser Machine on the other hand, has a long standing reputation for delivering top quality products swiftly, without sacrificing their legendary excellence.

Expertise and Skill

Historical knowledge is the key to EDM machining success, as to understand where you're heading; you have to know where you have been. A reputable shop with educated and highly trained engineers on hand comprehend the complex ins and out of CNC milling, tuning and machining. They will also be able to explain the process to interested parties, in layman's terms if need be, so everyone remains on the same page throughout the development and production stages.

State of the Art Technology

While understanding the history of machining is important, one has to be up on the latest technology and equipment in the CNC and EDM milling industry. This knowledge translates to both the speed and quality that makes shops like Arbiser Machine stand apart from the pack. Technology also affects the Quality Controls set in place at any EDM shop, so of course, it pays to know what the latest and greatest methods are currently available.
