At the IMTS Conference in Chicago, John Flynn, Vice President of Sales at Endeavor 3D, sat down to discuss a milestone in the company’s journey: achieving International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) registration. With this certification, Endeavor 3D is set to unlock new opportunities in defense, aerospace, and energy infrastructure, providing a critical edge in a rapidly evolving manufacturing landscape.
Endeavor3D Headquarter
A New Frontier with ITAR
For Endeavor 3D, ITAR registration is more than a formality; it represents an integral step toward becoming a trusted partner for government and defense-related projects. “ITAR registration is incredibly important for us,” Flynn emphasized. “It allows us to support Department of Defense (DoD) programs, energy infrastructure, and other projects requiring compliance with export-controlled regulations.”
Flynn made it clear that ITAR registration is just the beginning. The company is now focusing on building the necessary infrastructure—both physical and IT security—to ensure full compliance with stringent government requirements. “We’ve been registered for a couple of months, but to be fully compliant means setting up the right IT and security infrastructure. Now that we have that in place, we’re ready to go,” Flynn said.
Happy New Year! Last year, we hosted design engineering webinars produced by GoEngineer. If your goal is to learn more and grow in your design role, check out our top 10 most viewed engineering webinars to get a jump-start on your goals!
1. SOLIDWORKS 101 – Best Practices For Creating Your First Part
Learn best practices on basic fundamentals of sketching and creating your part in SOLIDWORKS.
3D printing solution makes it all possible – one step at a time
Imagine an automated way to feed your pets. Think of the time you’d save. Think of the hassles you’d eliminate. My kitties need to be feed twice daily, so I set out to make the process easier using both CAD and 3D printing.
For the manual method of food delivery to my cats, I have to measure out 1/3 cup of kitty kibbles with a measuring scoop and then deliver the food into each respective dish.
I have two cats, so I have to do this for each bowl, twice a day.
It would be easier just to turn a handle, and in a matter of seconds, deliver the proper amount of food to each kitty at the same time – at least, that’s what I hoped.
It might be the most commonly asked question during my years at GoEngineer, and it was easily my least favorite question to answer. “Do you print in metal?”
It may surprise you to learn, but having to answer “no,” or more commonly “not yet,” isn’t actually why I disliked that particular question. Over time I’ve become adept at fielding the question in ways that kept their interest and channeled their excitement toward tangible options.
It wasn’t saying “no” that killed me, it was admitting that what they wanted didn’t yet exist.
Our users didn’t just want metal printing technology – they wanted metal printing that was as simple, affordable, safe, and easy to use as plastic printing. But it simply wasn’t available.
And then along came Desktop Metal…
If you haven’t heard by now, Desktop Metal is a 3D printing startup based in Burlington, Ma. The company formed in 2015. They have spent the last two years in quiet development of their hardware and software. And, they managed to draw about $97 million in funding from Google, BMW, Lowe’s, and Stratasys to name just a few of their high-profile investors. (more…)
Stratasys recently announced a new lineup of three new FDM machines known as the F123 series. This new lineup of printers brings you new design, new components, new software and so much more. Learn how the Stratasys F123 Series makes the Rapid Prototyping process more efficient and productive for you and your team in this webinar:
Recorded Webinars – A Tool for Personal & Professional Development
It’s hard to believe 2016 has come and gone. Were you successful in completing your 2016 resolutions? I found personally, that setting obtainable goals worked best and were much more fulfilling in hindsight. Here are 3 rules I live by:
Commit to a Resolution that is obtainable – Start Small.
Tell everyone close to me for accountability purposes – Talk about it.
Don’t quit when steps aren’t achieved as quickly as intended – Never Give up!
So, now that we’ve outlined how to set a resolution and stick to it, let the learning begin! Below you will find a short list of Top GoEngineer webinars of 2016.
Sit back, Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and hit play!
For this first video, you will learn about New and Enhanced Features of SOLIDWORKS 2017 according to Sean Stone, Applications Engineer. Here Sean shares some of his favorites from this years’ launch events as well as some buried in the What’s New document.
Visuals are important to the design process, stories, social media and more. They are dominating Pinterest, that’s for sure. In this webinar, you will learn tips and tricks to the Visualize Interface and ideas for new graphical content you can bring to your company.
For me, riding my motorcycle is having the freedom of the open road and traveling with the wind in my hair! Sounds great, right? Well, after any extended period of riding in the weather elements; physical and mental fatigue takes over, leaving the operation of a motorcycle quite dangerous.
On my quest to create comfort and extend my riding to a long haul, I decided to improve the stock windshield (or windscreen) of my KTM SM-T. This is where aftermarket parts, SOLIDWORKS and 3D printing technology takes over.
Motorcycle Windscreen: Stock vs Touring
Take a look at the stock windscreen below. It looks ergonomically ‘sporty’ but doesn’t provide much protection from the weather elements.
In comparison, you will see a touring windscreen below. This version is significantly taller but still does not provide the necessary protection from the weather elements.
3D Printing has a new game-changer. In this recorded webinar, you will learn about the new Stratasys J750 3D Printer, the most advanced plastic 3D printer in the world!
Over the last few years, GoEngineer hosted a series of technical events in late spring. During these events, we showcased how our technology platforms work together to produce efficient workflows. Last year’s event was a little different. We packed 12 topics into 6 timeslots for a full day of learning. With over 2100 attendees during the last few events, we want thank you, our client partners, for this huge success!
Shape Your World Is On Its Way!
We are back at it this year with an exciting new project and schedule of topics. Shape Your World is the place where you can explore technology and learn processes from our experts. This is the perfect opportunity to catch-up and collaborate with old friends. You might even find a new one! With 7 time slots available starting at 9AM each day, we allow you to customize your agenda while attending several sessions that best fit your needs.
Batman v Superman – Who will win the battle of the ages?
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hit theatres worldwide. Previews clearly show Batman holding his own against Superman. As an engineer, I’m a Batman fan at heart. I want to believe that the Caped Crusader will ultimately defeat that Kryptonian. So, let’s take a look at this matchup and use engineering technology, all available to Wayne Enterprises, to devise a plan of attack.
