A common CAD operation is to take a 2D shape and extrude it into a 3D shape. But what happens if you take a gear and replicate it along a sphere and then rotate it and do it again? As you can see in ...

New York-based Proxy Design Studio has given Gizmodo a first glimpse of its incredible, 3D-printed spherical gear called the Mechaneu, equal parts tactile toy and mechanical sculpture, a ...

At its core, this system developed at Yamagata University in Japan uses a "simple" cross-spherical gear paired with a monopole gear to control pitch, roll, and yaw. Essentially, the same full range of ...

Proxy Design Studio has created a 3D-printed spherical gear known as the Mechaneu. Described as the first in a series of kinetic, 3D-printed objects designed to explore the limits of 3D printing as an ...

Spherical actuators are electromechanical devices capable of delivering rotational motion across three degrees of freedom within a single, compact assembly. By integrating permanent magnets, ...

Landing gear maintenance relies heavily on the performance of bearings. Utilizing the correct tooling to install and test these bearings proves flight critical. USA ...

In the Aerospace industry the importance of landing gear maintenance can never be overestimated because the components and systems must operate safely and efficiently in the most demanding and often, ...
