We recently completed a handbook on additive manufacturing. It will appear in the August issue of Design World. One of the things I learned from working on this project is just how many options you have for rapidly prototyping (or manufacturing) your designs. It’s easy to get caught up in the idea that all we have are 3D printers, especially with all the media coverage this part of the industry is receiving today. But you have more options, including subtractive prototyping and rapid…

As engineers we are entitled to look at disasters from a technical perspective. This is relatively easy when the event is watched on the TV, but when the events are experienced at first hand, it is certainly more complicated. Today I run into an article that describes the experiences and learnings of a family living in Japan, who struggles to recover from the great seismic event that struck the east coast of Japan last March 11th. The article was published in July 5th 2011 on the online…

As everyone in this office knows, good deals is my middle name. I'm subscribed for all those freebie and coupon sites so I can get my half-price soup and sandwhich for lunch or treat myself to an affordable facial.
But an online special for solar power?
I recently read on …

Fascinating image, take a look:

It's the highest-resolution image ever taken of a Boeing Next-Generation 737 airplane. The photo is so rich in detail it must be counted in gigapixels, which is 1,000 times the information of megapixels.

Greetings!
My name is Joe Gorse, I am the Electrical Engineering Editor for Design World. I come from a contract R&D background so bare with me while I learn how to do all the things I was never allowed to do as an engineer with billable hours. =)
For the morbidly curious, here's a short video introduction and my …

Assembly a standard ball nut onto a machined ball screw must be done with care to insure proper loading of the ball nut. If not done properly, internal bearings can become misplace out of the bearing circuit which will reduce life and increase wear, and possible locking of the ball nut on the ball screw. In certain circumstances, the ball nut and ball screw can be permanently damaged.
Each ball nut comes with detailed instructions on how to properly load the…

A recent IMS research report states that after declining for two consecutive quarters, PV module shipments are set to recover strongly in the second half of 2011. The rationality is that these rapidly falling PV module prices will be a key factor in re-establishing demand in the second half of the year.
Weak demand in key markets in early 2011 - due to reductions in, and confusion over incentive levels - has led PV module…

Like all set up components in auto racing, there is no ‘magic’ winning adjustment; each of the car’s pieces needs to work in concert as a single unit to maximize a particular driver’s feel. That’s the case with NASCAR COT (Cars…

I hear you all, with the baby-boomer skill shortage and slow economy creating the most challenging paradox. In the recent past it might have been corporate profits driving companies to look for the 'Jack of all Trades', but now the economy is making…

The following is an excerpt from Chapter 7 of my book Engineer Your Own Success:
Another important aspect of being a good leader is understanding your role. As a leader, your role is to help those that you are leading to do their job to the best of their ability. Therefore in order for you to succeed, you should strive to help them succeed. This is a difficult concept for many engineering professionals to grasp. Many professionals are so worried about…
