Free FEA Simulation for 3D Printing
Markforged just announced FEA simulation for their 3D printed parts. You can apply simulated load cases to your parts and validate their performance before printing. They even optimize your part to print faster and cheaper while retaining the strength requirements you need! They have a free trial running right now so you can try it out yourself all in-browser.
In plain words
Markforged's FEA simulation tool allows designers and engineers to test 3D-printed parts virtually before production. Users can apply simulated load cases to validate performance and use built-in optimization to reduce print time and material costs while maintaining required strength. The browser-based tool is available as a free trial, making it accessible to anyone designing parts for 3D printing.

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

I made a thing! In 2014, I was holding a stack of iPhones and thought to myself: "Hey, if I had each phone display a playing card, I could click a button and they'd shuffle themselves" I pared that idea all the way down to this: trading cards made of e-ink displays. Right now, each card costs me about $20 each, but with only a bit more scale, I think I can get that down to $10. In doing this project, I learned how to design electronics and circuit boards. I learned Rust and wrote my first driver, I upped my CAD skills, 3D printed, and did my first resin casting. I generated the images on the…
