Flame Cutting, Plasma Cutting, and Waterjet Cutting – Differences

January 6, 2022 by Mark Allinson

There are many options for metal cutting when you need it cut to size. Not all processes will work for every job and every type of metal. 

You may choose to use flame cutting or plasma cutting for your project. However, it is important that you understand the differences between these cutting methods. [Read more…] about Flame Cutting, Plasma Cutting, and Waterjet Cutting – Differences

Nvidia and USC researchers demonstrate autonomous robotic cutting

August 20, 2021 by David Edwards

Nvidia and USC researchers have demonstrated an innovative approach to Autonomous Robotic Cutting in new work nominated for a Best Paper Award at the Robotics Science & Systems Conference  last month. (See video and images below.)

Robotic cutting of soft materials is critical for applications such as food processing, household automation, and surgical manipulation. As in other areas of robotics, simulators can facilitate controller verification, policy learning, and dataset generation. Moreover, differentiable simulators can enable gradient-based optimization, which is invaluable for calibrating simulation parameters and optimizing controllers.

In their work nominated for a Best Paper Award at RSS 2021, Nvidia researchers present DiSECt: the first differentiable simulator for cutting soft materials. The simulator augments the finite element method (FEM) with a continuous contact model based on signed distance fields (SDF), as well as a continuous damage model that inserts springs on opposite sides of the cutting plane and allows them to weaken until zero stiffness, enabling crack formation.

Tools Guide for Your Heavy-Duty Workshop

June 2, 2021 by David Edwards

Whether you are looking to start the workshop you have always wanted or you want to uplift an existing one, there are a few tools you need to have on your wish list.

If you are a handyman by profession, or you love DIY projects, the most common must-have equipment includes a table saw, radial arm saw, band saw, or a good stud welder, depending on your frequent projects.

Dress-up equipment like a drill press, lathe, and a planer, are essentials every workshop should have. Most projects can be passed only using a drill press, a saw, and proper hand tools. [Read more…] about Tools Guide for Your Heavy-Duty Workshop
