A 3 start thread won't really work with this design. Have made tolerances tighter, enlarged bump, and made a bit steeper. Any other suggestions? Also sodium lauryl sulfate, despite being ubiquitous is a pretty nasty chemical and a carcinogenic - so I won't be using that. Laser sintering...

I am designing threads for prototype parts which are to be produced using SLS. So far I have been using a "hemisphere" design - one part is threaded, and the corresponding part has 2 little hemisphere knobs which the thread screws onto. It's a double entry thread, the 2 hemisphere bumps are on...

Thanks very much for taking the time to do that for me! Appreciate it. Cheers.

Had slightly more progress with that file - it recognised it, before declaring it was from a more recent version of NX and not opening. (Using NX 6.0.0.24) Will start trying to build my own, but if there is a way I can re-appropriate an existing one, then that would save a lot of time which I...

Thanks. Unfortunately "a disk error occurred during a read operation" so am unable to open the attached file. What modelling techniques do you use? How complex is it to do this?

I am trying to create a detailed multi-start thread in NX6 - is this possible? It isn't obvious from the main feature menus. Thanks, Richard
