Gents,

I have just started working for a company which does Additive Manufacturing (3D printing) and would like to try printing something useful, I am looking for anyone with CAD Files of Vincent components which they are willing to share. Preferably something complex like a racing cylinder head?

I am able to use most common formats: STL, IGES, DXF and STEP.

I have read a couple of articles in MPH which show A-M is being used by the spares company to aide casting some components.


Regards,

Alex

Alex,

If you want to try something different, here is a headstock I had some fun with and could send you an stl. It is faily complex but not an original Vincent design:

just for curiosity's sake, what processes and materials do you have access to? this thread discusses the relative merits of a couple we looked at for the headstock:

I have only been at the new job a couple of weeks, so habe a lot to learn and am still keeping my head down, however they seem reasonably happy with people making things for their motorbikes in the evenings.

As I am still in my induction, the main material which I have access to is glass filled Nylon 12 and (occasionally) Nylon PA11. Using Selective laser Sintering, P770 EOS Machines. Approx, 700 mm x 380 mm x 580 mm (27.6 x 15 x 22.9 in). Perfect for making prototypes as well as jigs / fixtures.

In the next 6 months I hope to move to the metals team, working on DMLS. Materials we use include:
17-4
15-5
316L
Grade 6 Ti.
copper
Colbot Chrome
Nickel
Alluminium
Tool steal

As for machining / testing:
We also have 4 axis EDM wire cutting
Manual, 3 axis and 5 axis milling
CNC & manual turning
Vacuum heat treatment furnace
super polisher
CNC laser scanner
CMM
50kN UTS tester

I hope you can therefore understand my desire to play!

I do for sure. Sounds like you are in a good spot with the right equipment to watch the world change. Additive manufacturing has a great future, and a great present to build on. I started with 3D printing in 1999 in its infancy, and when I retired the company I worked for was (still is) making patient and procedure specific surgical fixtures for brain surgery using autoclavable PA11 on EOS machines. If you want the STL file send me a PM.

I now have egg on my face just found out by looking that my crankcase drawing I received from Ted Davies are the original not modified,so I would have made a Camel, Graham How would I now! when i go to the UK it takes me a few days to get use to the local dialect but it is common the inner sanctum the term is not used in Australia.
