Join our VELOVirtual webinar as we explore How to Build the Better Fuel Tank, Fast!

When designing metal pressure vessels (like gas tanks) for high value vehicles (satellites, rockets), designers focus on a few key points. Obviously, they need to maximize strength and minimize weight but, it is also common that they need to conform to tight packaging and be able to quickly adjust the shape in response to changes elsewhere in the craft.

Engineers have attempted to use additive manufacturing to quickly produce the geometries required. However, until recently, this has been a further challenge due to the low angles and enclosures created when printing the internal channels needed for advanced fuel tank design.

With VELO3D’s SupportFree low angle and thin wall capabilities, these parts are now possible. Engineers can rapidly print the desired shapes and consistently achieve the target mechanical properties.

During this webinar, Matt Allard (Dell), and Steven Darcey (GoEngineer) will help you make the best decisions when you’re shopping for a new PC. The features you may use in SOLIDWORKS will dictate specific features that you will need in a Dell PC and NVIDIA GPU. We will walk you through basic modeling tools, high-end rendering and FEA simulation tools, as well as what they utilize in hardware resources to best fit you to the right machine. After this discussion we'll have a special presentation from Dell's Financial business unit to talk to you about special financing for both hardware (Dell and non-Dell equipment) and software.

Agenda:

• Solidworks Core - Part Modeling, Large Assemblies & Drawings
Speed of CPU, RAM, Motherboards, and SSD Drives
Graphics Cards
Desktop vs. Laptop

• Solidworks Visualize - Graphics, Settings, and Rendering
Selecting GPU's & CPU's
Selecting the right display (mobile workstation or standalone)

• Solidworks Simulation, FLOW, and Plastics
How many CPU's / Cores
Can a faster GPU make a difference
How much Memory and Hard Drive Space needed

• Financing to get the best Return on your Investment

Presenter: Tyler Reid - Technical Director – Digital Manufacturing

We just added a new metal 3D printer to the lab at GoEngineer HQ! Join us for a walk through of the Xact Metal XM200C: a metal laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) system designed to bring low cost, professional metal printing into a lab space. The laser sintering technology builds precise, strong parts with crisp features. Many alloys are possible on this platform, from stainless steel to nickel-based super alloys!

As the autumn and winter seasons approach us, memories of pumpkin spice, fruitcake and of course What’s New SOLIDWORKS CAM are back again!

Join us for this 2022-specific webinar as we uncover several graphical enhancements for better understanding what your toolpath display is doing, revised CNC finish parameters for improved clarity as well as quickly locating your library cutting tools using the updated tool select filter. For those already taking advantage of z-axis probe cycles, selection of nonplanar (organically shaped) profiles in the direction of the z-axis enhances your versatility of where that feature is relative to your part.

Finally, take advantage of behind-the-scenes performance that includes updated supported platforms for SOLIDWORKS CAM and managing multiple Technology Databases which helps organize multiple things such as CNC machines and their respective tool cribs, cutting tools, default feature strategies and operation parameters, among other things.

All these features and more are now available in SOLIDWORKS CAM 2022!
