Mechanical Design Services and Engineering Trends

In the next ten to twenty years, mechanical engineering is expected to go above and beyond in its abilities and expectations. Global challenges will be met and exceeded. In addition, many mechanical engineers are projected to work on a broader spectrum of projects with both engineering and non-engineering professionals. In addition, they’ll be expected to have interdisciplinary training. Below, you’ll find a few trends that are expected to gain popularity in the mechanical engineering field. Progressive Skill-Set Trends Global team management Multilingual capability Innovative Tools and Techniques Trends Animation/virtual prototype Motion simulation Nanotechnology Renewable energy Solar/wind Future Fields Trends Alternative energy Bioengineering/biomedical Computers Electronics Energy Nanotechnology Water As you can see, there are several innovative, up and coming trends for this field. In addition to future popularity in this industry, the pay scale for mechanical engineers is also surging. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, mechanical engineers earned a median salary of $82,100 in 2013. The best-paid earned about $123,340, while the lowest-paid earned less than $52,550. Industries that continue to pay well include oil and gas extraction as well as information services. Also according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, employment in the field is expected to grow by 4.5 percent between 2012 and 2022, translating to 11,600 new positions. Over 222,000 jobs are now held in ME and it’s expected that close to 10,000 more jobs will be held by 2016. Many of the following manufacturing industries offer these jobs: Computer products Electronic products Fabricated metal products Machinery Transportation equipment Some of the most popular careers continuing to trend in the mechanical engineering field include: Microelectromechanical systems, or MEMS (sensors, actuators, micropower generation) Manufacturing (machining, machine tools, prototyping, microfabrication) Environmental control (HVAC, air-conditioning, refrigeration, compressors) Energy conversion (gas turbines, wind turbines, solar energy, fuel cells) Computers and electronics (disk drives, printers, cooling systems, semiconductor tools) Biotechnology (implants, prosthetic devices, fluidic systems for pharmaceutical industries) Automotive (from the car chassis to its every subsystem—engine, transmission, sensors) Automation (robots, data and image acquisition, recognition, control) Aerospace (airplanes, aircraft engines, control systems for airplanes and spacecraft) Mechanical Engineering is a great field to enter that is continuing to offer fresh, innovative ideas that won’t disappoint any who decide on a career in the field. In addition, ME outsourcing is also a growing trend. Those that aren’t able to hire engineers in-house are now able to find expert mechanical engineer services through outsourcing!

3D Printing Growth Trend in CAD Industry

As a sustainable, productive and cost efficient way to prototype designs, 3D printing is gaining popularity, every day! You won’t believe how quickly it’s growing! According to Forbes.com, “The number of job ads requiring workers with 3D printing skills increased 1,834% in 4 years and 103% when comparing August 2014 to August 2013.” WOW! That’s a large increase! It’s also a great way to put its popularity growth into perspective! A Look at Usage Percentages 3D printing is currently used by 22% worldwide. By the end of 2015, it’s expected that around 33 percent of the world will be using 3D printing. In the next three to five years, it’s expected that usage will grow from 33 percent to around 45 percent. 3D printing is anticipated to develop in each and every industry sector across the world. Manufacturing makes up 39 percent of 3D printing, now and will increase by the end of this year. In the next five years, manufacturing will jump to a large 57 percent usage in 3D printing. North America holds the title for most used 3D printing in the world at 28 percent. Also take a look at some of the different industries that are taking advantage of the benefits of 3D printing: Aluminum Sheet, Plate, and Foil Manufacturing Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools Commercial and Industrial Designers Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing Freelace 3D Printing for Modeling and Additive Manufacturing Industrial Engineers Manufacturing Marketing Managers Mechanical Engineers Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing Software Developers, Applications Tire and Tube Merchant Wholesalers 3D printing has been around for a very long time, however it is only recently that it has begun to increase in popularity. It is now considered one of the biggest technologies of the 21st century. Look for this type of printing to begin storming the world, soon! More and more industries are using 3D printing, as well as offering it in storefronts to create personalized items like shoes and more! It is an exciting time that is even creating more 3D CAD design services jobs as well. Free CAD Design Services Are you interested in reducing costs within your business?

The Future of 3D Printing

The future of 3D printing is here and it’s been inspired by the hit movie, Terminator 2. This new type of 3D printing is described as a continuous liquid interfacing production that prints continuously, to form a new object, according to the scientists who created the new technology. The scientists are from the University of North Carolina and they expect the 3D printing invention to take mere minutes instead of the typical hours 3D printers now take. The new technology could bring serious benefits to those looking to make a change in the way they manufacture products. In addition to the quick production process, this new 3D printer will also allow users to make changes to the designs easily, as well as customize the software used. Instead of using specific manufacturing machines for each type of product, this 3D printer can be switched out and used for multiple types of products. There are a few different types of existing 3D printers, but they mostly work via the same principle: a printing head passes over a platform over and over, depositing layer after layer of a material like plastic in a precise pattern. Over time, these layers combine to form the desired object — much like a paper printer forms text on a page by putting down row after row of ink. 3D printers are known for their layered approach to creating an object. The new printer will do away with layers, completely. Instead of layering the materials during construction, the object will be drawn, continuously out of a pool of liquid resin. An ultraviolet light will help solidify the resin and will also work as a blade to sculpt products. The UV light will work in a series of cross-sectional patterns that mimic the image of the desired object. As of now, this new 3D printer is a prototype that has yet to be used to build products for an actual market. In addition, it is unclear how much they’ll cost, even though they’re expected to hit markets this time next year. Continual 3D printing will be popular, once it is released because it’s a way to customize objects by altering software, not the machine itself. It’s also much quicker than conventional 3D printing and offers a great alternative for those that want the benefits of 3D printing without having to wait hours. As we learn more about this new technology continual 3D printer, we will keep you updated! It’s an exciting invention that will change the future of 3D printing!
