    Leftover insulation

    Good morning! We fabricate insulation parts, and have a specific part that is made from 1/2", 3# Microlite (J.M. material). We have a leftover circle, which measures a perfect 4" diameter, and we have literally thousands per month left over. Can any of you think of a way these can be used, or...

    Solidworks books?

    I've been a Solidworks user for a year or two, and need a bit more practice and experience with assembly modelling and sheet metal functionality. Are there any good books out there you folks might recommend? Anything that is heavily focused on the sheet metal in particular would be good. Any...

    I've done one from scratch, without any linkage between the dimensions. Care to take a look?

    Design table for assemblies?

    Good morning, everyone. I'm attempting to create a sheet metal layout for valve insulation blankets, and was wondering if I can use a design table for the following. If not, any ideas would be helpful. The assembly would be composed of 3 parts : the valve itself (not in its entirety, but only...

    Sheet metal elbow

    Hi, guys. I'm trying to create two sheet metal elbows, 90-deg and 45-deg. Basically, the part will be a cover for an elbow, with the material being slit at the narrow radius (throat?) of the elbow. Is there any way to design this and flatten it? I'm been pulling my hair out (what little is...

    Polystyrene adhesive

    We're creating polystyrene parts for a customer of ours, and attempting to glue several scrap pieces together to offer a cost reduction. What kinds of glue (brand names or sources would be great!) would you guys recommend? We're looking for something sprayable, and simple to apply. Thanks...

    May not belong on this forum

    Hello, everyone. I'm trying to find a black ink that will adhere to a silicone-coated fiberglass cloth. The ink should also (hopefully) withstand temperature and moisture exposure. Temperatures may reach up to 300-deg F, and the cloth will be regularly exposed to both water and oil. Thanks...

    Attempting to meet difficult spec

    Hi, guys. I work for an insulation fabricator, and we're attempting to get a rather large job of die-cut acoustic barrier-foam composites. (Please forgive any misuse of terminology, I'm an estimator, not an engineer). We can't find ANY suppliers for the specified raw materials, and I was...

    Removable insulation covers

    Hello, everyone. I work for a manufacturer of removable / reusable insulation covers, and we're beginning to receive a lot of orders for valve covers. I've researched many of these valves, and was wondering if there might be a source of more detailed information on common valve types, included...

    New worksheets on my drawing

    I was hoping someone here might be able to help me out with this, as it's turning into a real time-killer for me. Our title block for our drawings contains an area that's set aside for details on the part, specifications of a sort. What I'd like to be able to do is keep my sheet format and...

    Incrementing called worksheet numbers

    Hey, guys. I have a fairly large workbook, consisting of about two hundred individual worksheets, with the first being a summation of data calculated in each of the others. The remaining spreadsheets are labelled by part numbers, simplified to three digits, 218, 219, etc. They are in...

    "Locking" cells

    Using Excel, is there any method of "locking" individual cells, but not the entire workbook? I want our guys to be able to change data in some cells, but not allow them to "accidentally" erase the formulas in others. Thanks for any help.
