Industrial Design

bolt 1Industrial design, also known as design engineering is a mix of artistic talent and mathematical engineering. Not always a good combination, but can serve as a great tool to compliment both the engineering department and drafting department. Most of us specialize in our abilities, and this actually creates an acute process of thinking, undermining what we don’t know or understand. Communication is the key to progress, and continued growth in application building, whatever the application may be. Critically thinking, the artist and the engineer have two major problems with developing new products. Depending on what kind of engineers involved the solutions for presentation are limited and this is where the 2d or perspective views are necessary, and the drafter then becomes pressed to think about engineering, kind of a double edge sword. Math has a language that mathematicians understand and communicate with, this goes for most engineering concepts. The divide of understanding between math and actual production is accountable to the finished product. Research and development (R&D) is the application where the mathematical theories can then be tested.  More to come…

Injection Molding

 

Injection Molding is the way that manufacturers produce a plastic part of a product. Each mold is specific, and is made to fit different types of injectors. The actual Molds are made in different ways, mostly by CNC machining. A mold machine is made of two different parts one being the injector in the other being the clamping unit. Manufacturers use different types of machines that are made by different vendors, but many of them are interchangeable or can be retrofitted to work with other machines. The mold is held in place by the clamping unit, these clamping units are different for each machine depending on the type of injection being used, usually depending on size of the part being made.
