A bit on bits…

Our in-house 3d designer is currently taking a new design for custom drill bit holders for a handheld drill and fitting it across other makes and models of drills.

To create his product, he gets a drill and takes geometric measurements with calipers and inputs the information into his CAD program, Solid Works, to establish the outside shape of the drill. He then fits the design against the slopes and ridges the new drill has for a close fit.

He then sets the designs to print. We use ABS plastic for its durability which are stored in large spools. Our printer uses the FDM process, fused deposition modeling, which pulls the cord-like plastic filament from the spool and feeds into the printer onto a plate, melting and fusing in layers to build up the design.

Once the design is finished printing, he takes his parts to a finishing/filing station where he joins parts, and sharpens and smooths the product to ensure a good look and snug fit.
