How 3D Rendering Services are Transforming and Progressing Industries

by

A 3D rendering service can take your designs and turn them into 3D renders. This may not seem impressive when can probably render your own 3D models on your computer.

However, if your model has many intricate parts, if it is highly detailed, or even if it is a model with many layers and features, it can take quite a while for your computer to create the model.

This is especially true if there is lots of detail on the model and lots of calculations that need to be done. Added to which, your company may require several thousand renders take place per day. If this is the case, then hiring an outside company to do your 3D rendering is downright essential. [Read more…] about How 3D Rendering Services are Transforming and Progressing Industries

Benefits of Induction Hardening

by

Case hardening process used to increase wear resistance, surface hardness and fatigue life through creation of a hardened surface layer while maintaining an unaffected core microstructure.

Induction hardening is used to increase the mechanical properties of ferrous components in a specific area. Typical applications are powertrain, suspension, engine components and stampings.

Induction hardening is excellent at repairing warranty claims / field failures. The primary benefits are improvements in strength, fatigue and wear resistance in a localised area without having to redesign the component. [Read more…] about Benefits of Induction Hardening
