Here at Innova Systems, we’re not just experts in the applications of 3D printing, we’re also experts in 3D CAD software and, more importantly, in helping customers optimise their parts so that they get the most value from their investment in a 3D printer. How do we do it? – let’s take a look at a customer we’ve recently helped and the how – and why – we optimised their parts for 3D printing. We get a lot of enquiries from customers asking us to 3D print a part – this is a service we offer to allow customers to experience for themselves the value that 3D printing can bring. Often it can b ..read more

Located in Hampshire, Innova Systems customer, Ecomar Propulsion, researches, develops, and produces high-performance electric and hybrid hydrogen marine propulsion systems. The company’s Managing Director, Eugene Bari, started the business due to his passion for powerboat racing and his desire to build the fastest boat possible. Eugene later discovered, however, that there was a greater demand for commercial shipping. So, rather than making the quickest, he decided to focus on creating the cleanest boat he could. Eugene and his team began developing new propulsion systems, integrating hydroge ..read more

In this video we’ll take a look at how to connect SOLIDWORKS to 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud.  [Video transcript] In this video we will take a look at how we can connect SOLIDWORKS to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform using the Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS role. The Collaborative Designer role and the Design with SOLIDWORKS app, are for users that want to connect their existing SOLIDWORKS CAD license to 3DEXPERIENCE. For users who want to use the traditional 3D design capabilities, which we all know and love, combined with intuitive data management on the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE Plat ..read more

In this video we’ll take a look at creating a structure in SOLIDWORKS Weldments.  [Video transcript] In this video we will be running through the creation of a weldment structure, specifically, this pallet dispenser. Every weldment starts with a sketch, and with more complex structures such as this 3D Sketches make weldment creation simple. This structure will be built up from multiple sketches: The base conveyor, the upright cage and the feet. Standard weldment profiles can be downloaded from the SOLIDWORKS Content section in the design library. You can also create ..read more

In this video we’ll look at typical example of creating and documenting a machined part using SOLIDWORKS.  [Video transcript] Sketching a profile We begin by sketching a profile for the base of our machined part. Familiar sketching tools are available to us, such as lines, arcs, rectangles, splines, and many more. Sketch patterning tools are also available such as mirror.  We don’t have to worry about the size of the profile as we sketch it, as it will resize itself correctly when we add constraints such as dimensions. We can then extrude it to the correct depth. Adding so ..read more

Innova Systems are pleased to announce the addition of Precise PLA to our Markforged 3D Printer materials portfolio. It is now even easier to prototype, create custom tooling, and fabricate end-use parts all on one platform! What is Precise PLA? Precise PLA is a lower cost filament designed specifically for rapid prototyping applications, so you can quickly — and easily — fine-tune your part designs before final implementation. At 1/3 the price point of Onyx, Precise PLA is the ideal material for prototyping and printing low-performance parts. One single platform – The Digital Forge Precise PL ..read more
