————One of the main reasons DTU management is considering to purchase a new Rapid Prototyping solution, is the fact that the Z 310plus printer sets a series of limitations when fabricating prototype objects.

Z 310plus manufactures parts using gypsum like, composite material which contains an acceptable quality when designing a fixed and non functional concept model.
Consequently the property of the mentioned material makes the fabricated parts fragile and not durable enough for creating a functional object where different parts are interacting.

In order to illustrate this remark and compare the quality of the demo object, manufactured by the elected RP printers, a suitable and functional demo object designed using Pro/E.

Design idea for this object is inspired by a mechanism used in fishing reels. This mechanism allows the spool to move up and down in order to collect the fishing line while the handle is spinning only in one direction by the fisherman.
The idea is to create a double threaded screw and nut with a support construction to keep the parts in their places.

We chose to create a trapezoidal thread and use the DIN 103 standard with bolt diameter of 14mm and pitch equal to P= 4 which is shown n the table below.———–

We tried to get document about a particular data format from a vendor, but they refused to provide it. Can we read that data file through reverse engineering and still sell our software application? Thanks for help.
