I designed a completely new Push-to-Open mechanism based on a rotating locking wheel with 4 distinct click stages. While this model is mainly a functional demonstration, I think the concept has much more potential. Different spring forces, different actions after each 90° rotation, or activation from all four sides could open up some interesting possibilities. What applications or improvements come to mind? 🤔 #Mechanism #PushToOpen #MechanicalDesign #PushPush #PushToLock #Engineering

🚀 New project: a fully functional 3D-printed H-Quad Engine! Printed entirely in PLA, this compact model demonstrates synchronized piston motion in a unique H-engine layout. It runs smoothly, looks great on its custom stand, and doubles as an eye-catching desk toy. A fun blend of engineering, mechanics, and 3D printing. What do you think of the design? #3DPrinting #Engineering #Maker

#Newmodel I would like to share my ongoing project, The Porsche 956. Born for the brutal efficiency of Group C endurance racing, its aluminum monocoque chassis, ground-effect aerodynamics, and turbocharged flat-six created a machine that redefined Le Mans performance. In 1982, it didn’t just take victory it locked out the podium at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, proving that precision engineering beats raw power. Low. Wide. Relentless. The 956 is what happens when aerodynamics, lightweight construction, and motorsport obsession converge into one uncompromising prototype. #porsche #Comingsoon #Engineering

Hello everyone, I’m currently struggling with a FEM simulation problem related to 3D printed parts, and I hope someone here has experience with a similar workflow. My situation: I designed a part in Autodesk Inventor 2024. The real part is FDM 3D printed with 10% infill and defined wall thicknesses. I want to simulate mechanical loads using FEM. The problem: Inventor’s FEM simulation treats the model as a fully solid body, which massively overestimates stiffness and strength compared to the real printed part. This makes the simulation results unrealistic and not comparable to the physical component. What I am trying to achieve: I want a CAD model that matches the real printed structure, meaning: actual wall thicknesses (perimeters), internal infill geometry (e.g. gyroid / grid), ideally also reflecting the layered nature of FDM printing. My idea was: Start from a STEP (STP) file. Slice it using Bambu Studio (latest version) with the same print settings as the real part. Convert the sliced result back into a CAD model (STEP or at least a clean STL) that includes walls and infill. Use this geometry for FEM simulation. Software used: CAD: Autodesk Inventor 2024 Slicer: Bambu Studio (latest version) My questions: Is there any known workflow to convert sliced geometry (or G-code) back into a usable CAD or FEM-ready solid? Are there tools or plugins that can reconstruct infill and perimeters as real geometry? Or is the recommended approach to use homogenized material models / anisotropic materials instead of real geometry? How do you realistically simulate FDM parts with low infill in FEM? Any advice, tools, papers, or real-world experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!#FEM #Engineering #Troubleshooting #converter #Questions
