Thin-Wall Rectangular Pressure Vessels Simulation

PADT’s Alex Grishin encountered a need to model a thin-walled pressure vessel for a project when working on a lithium-ion battery pack that, during a thermal runaway event, can become a thin-wall rectangular pressure vessel. After doing both hand calculations and simulations, he summarized his findings about stress in thin-wall rectangular pressure vessels with the a presentation we present in this blog post.

An Independence Day Brisket Analysis

The smell of fireworks and freedom is in the air! This year, my contribution to the family’s Independence day festivities is a smoked brisket. Unfortunately, I have learned from experience that cooking at elevation (~7000ft) is not the same as it is in the valley (~1000ft). To avoid potential embarrassment it only makes sense to run a few simulations before lighting the smoker.

The Latest Definition from PADT's 3D Printing Glossary

Depowdering

A post-processing step for powder bed fusion or binder jetting additive manufacturing processes where loose powder is removed from the part. This includes removing loose and caked powder from features and removing powder from the surface. This process can be manual, using compressed air, water, and/or a brush or it can be automated using vibration, compressed air, and/or water.


This step is often started in a breakout station.
