Mechanical Engineering

The proposed fuel is not SAF, it's a combination of magnesium and hydrogen mixed with hydrocarbon fuel. It's estimated to give 8% more range over other existing aviation fuels.

Engineering memes was a favorite on a similar site that I used to use, wondering if this community would want some too

Tesla is facing issues with the bare metal construction of the Cybertruck, which Elon Musk warned was as tricky to do as making Lego bricks

Why is it so difficult to find a good source for this information? I can find half a dozen research papers but no real good centralized source for these things.

Hello everyone!

I'm looking for suggestions in how we can grow and develop this community. We have a chance to develop something interesting and the impetus of this change will rely upon all of us to make it happen. Are there any ideas that you'd like to see implemented here? Community events? Challenges? Support?

I'd love to see this place flourish, and anything that I can do to draw interest would be fantastic.

Thanks for your suggestions!

I understand that this could be rather controversial, but I feel like AI is coming whether we wanted to or not. I know some companies have already started taking steps towards AI and automation in general, others are avoiding it until it becomes more robust.

How have you or your company integrated AI into your workflow so far?

Do you believe that you've benefited from the use of AI at your workplace, or do you feel like it's introducing more problems than it's solving?

The coolest page on the net I know of for mechanisms. What's your favourite in here?

The goal was to time how long it took you to generate the model on your first attempt. It relied on user honesty as you don't really win anything, but atleast you could see how you stacked up against other CAD users.

You can confirm if you have the right design by checking the Volume of your component after you feel that you've "completed" the design.

I've done this one before. It's very fun.

If your interesting in trying it out, post your time below. I'm curious to see how you guys do. I'll post my time on Monday.

I've been interested in possibly pursuing a new business opportunity doing this. I've noticed that almost every single company is interested in automation, however very few people within the company are actually able to do something along these lines as it's a twofold problem: you need someone that's extremely proficient in both CAD software and coding. And I'm not talking about just configurable parts, I'm talking full assemblies that have logic built into them, capable of updating or generating full drawings.

So I really wanted to gauge how often you guys have been exposed to it, and I wanted to know how many people in your company are likely even capable of doing it.

In my company of around 50-60 engineers, there are about 3. The third one would likely struggle a bit, but he'd likely be able to figure things out after enough time on forums.

Hello everyone, there's nothing here yet, but I want/need this community within Lemmy. Assistance is sometimes necessary to learn and grow, and I'm trying to stay off of Reddit - which can be difficult when you've got questions to ask or things you need to discuss.

I'm hoping that we'll be able to create a robust and thriving ME community. Let's make it happen!
