    Dynamic Balancing of Machinery
    When: February 7, 2-3pm EST
    What: Webinar
    Rotating imbalance is a common source of vibration. In this webinar you will learn how to simulate this imbalance on rotating components using SolidWorks Motion. This imbalance can be graphed out over time or cycles. Design changes can be implemented using SolidWorks configurations, and the effect of these changes can be studied by duplicating studies.
    To register for this free event, Click Here.

    An Introduction to the Simulation Suite in SolidWorksWhen: February 17, 10 – 11am EST
    What: Webinar
    Do you constantly face engineering challenges and product quality issues? Are you fighting a lot of ECOs and warrenty battles? If so, come join us on a one hour introductory presentation on how to leverage functionality within SolidWorks that have helped a lot of companies score in these areas. Learn how much traditional analysis has progressed, and how it is no longer a specialist’s forte, but a tool that every engineer should have and use.

    3DVision Technologies is pleased to annouce the new uPrint SE 3D Print Pack

    Friday, January 6th, 2012

    uPrintSE_Bundle_with_PartsThe new uPrint SE 3D Printers are powered by Stratasys’ patented FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology. It’s the 3D printer on which thousands of design engineers test their designs.

    uPrint SE 3D Printers build accurate, stable 3D models in ABSplus plastic. They’re ideal for determining form, fit and function in everything from ergonomics to manufacturing processes. These aren’t fragile lab beauties either. ABSplus is stronger than materials typically used by competitive 3D printers.

    By producing models in house or Shanghai Housing instead of outsourcing to a service bureau, you can keep your most ground-breaking product designs confidential.

    With the uPrint SE 3D Print Pack you get everything you need to start printing immediately. No hidden costs. Nothing more to consider. Just un-box and print.

    The uPrint SE 3D Print Pack includes everything you need to start making durable, accurate 3D models in ABSplus plastic.

    The uPrint SE 3D Print Pack includes:
    - uPrint SE 3D Printer
    - WaveWash Support Cleaning System
    - Start-up Kit

    With prices starting at $15,900 companies are now able to take advantage of low monthly lease payments for less than $300. For many organizations, this monthly lease payment requires no capital expenditure approvals and is less than purchasing a single part build from a service bureau.

    Section 179 Deduction

    Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

    3DVision Technologies wants to alert you to important 4th quarter tax planning implications – to take advantage of by the end of this month.

    What is Section 179?Essentially, Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase of qualifying equipment and/or software purchased of financed during the 2011 tax year. That means if you buy (or lease) a piece of qualifying equipment, you can deduct the full purchase price from your gross income.

    What Software Qualifies?
    For basic eligibility, software must meet all the following general specifications:
    - The software must be financed or purchased outright.
    - The software must be used in your business or income-producing activity.
    - The software must have a determinable useful life.
    - The software must be expected to last more than one year.

    Section 179 does come with limits – there are caps to the total amount written off. For more specific details visit www.section179.org

    The bottom line is, if you are thinking of purchasing software, now is a great time to take advantage of the tax benefits.
