Computer Aided Design, or CAD

Computer-aided design, more commonly known as CAD, is the use of computers in the design process across a wide range of industries. CAD software is primarily used to create highly accurate models, but CAD covers all steps in the design process, from creation and modification to analysis and design. In our industry, CAD software is notably used to create precise drawings and models of objects and structures. CAD was developed as a more accurate, affordable way for designers, engineers, and manufacturers to design, visualize, and test models while minimizing the chance of mistakes. As CAD allows for easy modification, documentation,...

Graphite Dust: How We Deal With the Dust Hazard

Dust: a finely powdered substance of various matters, often suspended in the air. When that suspended matter is floating around someone machining graphite electrodes, it’s graphite dust. Anyone that has machined graphite knows that the particles generated from the machining process are very fine and have a tendency to remain airborne, even when a dust collector is in use. Unlike common household dust, graphite dust has characteristics that must be taken into consideration. Dust Hazard? Dealing with graphite dust naturally brings up the question, is this stuff considered a hazard to the human body? Before answering this, we should clarify...

Graphite Heating Elements in Vacuum Furnaces

In our graphite machine shop, we have the three things necessary to produce graphite heating elements of any type or size: a variety of graphite blocks, machines optimized for machining graphite, and skilled and experienced graphite machinists. If your manufacturing facility produces sintered metals or brazes copper, or in any way employs high-temperature vacuum furnaces in your manufacturing process, you likely rely on graphite heating elements. There are many reasons that graphite is the preferred material for heating elements, several of which we discuss below. Why Graphite Heating Elements? Graphite is a desirable material in various thermal applications due to...
