| | | 3D Printing Christmas: A New Nerdy AI Generated Christmas Classic | | Tired of the same old holiday tunes? Looking for something new and technical? PADT, Inc presents: 3D Printing Christmas This catchy and cheerful song combines the joys of the Christmas season with the joys of 3D Printing. PADT's Andrew Smith generated both the lyrics and the music using AI tools with nothing more than an idea and some great prompts. | | | | Three Ansys Related Posts for December | | Our Support engineers have been busy, but they found time to contribute three useful posts this month: | | Ansys Icepak: Interpreting Flux Calculations in Ansys Electronic Desktop | |

| | Merry Christmas to All Our Amazing Customers who Made 2025 a Fun Year! | | PADT's Josh Stout shares some tips on how to handle the tricky situation in Ansys IcePakwhen you want to show the net direction of heat, mass, or volumetric flow out of a 2D Sheet. | | Ansys MotorCAD is a great design tool. And Ansys Maxwell is the industry standard for detailed low-frequency electromagnetic simulation. In this post PADT's Tyler Butin shows how to move your MotorCAD model to Maxwell. | | Join PADT's optical application engineer extraordinaire, Cynthia De La Rosa as she shares her reflections on 2025 and a cool feature in Ansys Speos that literally shines a light on holiday cheer. | | Stratasys PolyJet Resin 3D Printing on a Glass Substrate | | Just when you think full-color Stratasys PolyJet printing couldn’t get any cooler (you’ve seen the banana, right?), now we can 3D print parts with one side as slick as glass. That’s because the part is actually printed on glass, or plexiglass, as the base substrate, and that smoothness forms the initial surface layer. PADT's Pam Waterman steps us through the process and shows us the results. | | | |
Wisk Completes First Flight of Generation 6
Autonomous eVTOL
| |
Wisk Aero, an autonomous aviation company, today announced the successful completion of the first flight of its Generation 6 aircraft. The flight is a pivotal step forward in Wisk’s journey to deliver the first certified, autonomous passenger-carrying eVTOL to market in the U.S. Wisk is the only company to have designed, built, and flown six generations of eVTOL aircraft.
PADT provided simulation support for this project. Our customer contact commented on congratulations from a PADT employee on LinkedIn: "Thanks to you and your team we had confidence in the thermal profile to make this happen!!"
| |  | Radiant Submits Safety Analysis for Start Up of First Reactor | Radiant, a leader in portable, mass-produced nuclear generators, announced today that it submitted its DOE Authorization Request for Kaleidos (DARK) to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for review earlier this month. This submission meets the intent of the Preliminary Documented Safety Analysis (PDSA), an essential milestone that keeps the company on track to start up its first reactor next year at the National Reactor Innovation Center's (NRIC) DOME facility at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). | | | Featured Products and Services | | | |

Signal Integrity, Power Integrity, and EMI Analysis for PCB Design
A specialized tool for power integrity, signal integrity and EMI analysis of IC packages and PCBs. Solves power delivery systems and high-speed channels in electronic devices.
SIwave helps you model, simulate and validate high-speed channels and complete power delivery systems typical in modern high-performance electronics. It accurately extracts multi-gigabit SERDES and memory buses, providing product sign-off compliance for various designs. SIwave’s full wave extraction of complete power distribution networks (PDN) enables you to verify noise margins and ensure impedance profiles are met through automatic decoupling analysis in low-voltage designs.

We just finished a project for an aerospace customer. They needed a replacement connector on one of their products that they could no longer procure. PADT worked with them to simplify and improve the design and then we built the design on the Stratasys Origin Two. Their feedback was, "The fit and finish are excellent, and this will greatly simplify our testing of the assembly."
That project is a great example of how the superior quality and material selections of the Stratasys product family can deliver significant value.
Using the technology of digital light processing (DLP), Stratasys’ Origin Two is ideal for the manufacturing of low-volume/high-mix parts, which we just showed with our customer.

| | | PADT Leads "Networking for Introverted Innovators" Workshop at Venture Cafe Phoenix | | |
PADT's Madison Smith and Eric Miller took the stage at Venture Cafe on a Thursday night in November to lead a fun and informative networking workshop. The packed audience listened to a lecture, engaged in a lively Q&A, and then practiced networking with each other.
It was so popular we turned the presentation into a blog post where you can watch a video of the presentation, download the deck, or review the highlights.
| | PADT Participates in "Tech Demos" at the PEI Celebrating Innovation AZ Summit | | PADT was invited to exhibit along with other Arizona innovators at the 2025 Celebrating Innovation AV Summit in Downtown Mesa. PADT employees Miles Adkins, Noah Ashwerbranner, Madison Smith, and Eric Miller manned the PADT booth. Attendees explored groundbreaking innovations from Honeywell Aerospace Technologies, Mayo Clinic, Lucid Motors, PADT, Freeport-McMoRan, and Avnet, plus products and prototypes from WearTech Center projects created by Barrow Neurological Institute, Gravitrex, CenSyn, Inc., Hydrawav3 LLC, and more. This is Arizona innovation you can see and touch! | | The Latest Definition from PADT's 3D Printing Glossary | |
