    Optimal RIB structure for plastic plate stiffness

    Hi, I'm looking for the big lines about optimizing RIB structure for plastic plate stiffness. The plate is somewhat restricted along the edges, especially the corners, but I expect the middle of the sides to be relativly free to move inwards. Torsions stiffness is of less concern. The plate is...

    Laser triangulation distance sensors applicable?

    Hi, We need to measure the distance to a moving object a minimum of 3 times a second. The distance range is about 2 meters, and we need a resolution of about 2 to 5 mm. As other objects are closeby we believe the narrow beam of a laser will be our best option. Does anyone here have experience...

    MIG machine for aluminium. Cost?

    Hi, We are going to weld a large aluminium structure for the next few week, and I have to buy a welding machine for that purpose. It is mostly 5mm plate, but some 8mm, and several meters at a time. So far we have tried an Thermal Arc 200 GMS with spool gun, and an Lincoln Compact 280. Both do...

    Drawing from sketch?

    Hi, From time to time I want export a specific sketch as a standalone drawing, with measures and so on. The problem is however that measures semm to disappear when simply copying the sketch into a drawing, and I can't change the scale. Anyone has a smooth solution for making drawings from...

    Making of large plastic plate with hole/ slot pattern

    We are in need of a small prototype series (300) plates of 1 cm thick PE plastic with lots of round or slotted holes. The plate themselves are about 110x70cm, and the holes/ slot should have a 4mm opening. Total hole ratio should be about 30-50 percent. The edges and surfaces should be rather...

    Is it possible to use sketch linked values for features in parts?

    Is it possible to use sketch linked values for features in parts? That is directly, without having to fiddle around with tables or equations?
