Hellooo 2016! Is it seriously February already?

好吧，本着怀旧的精神，我们正在回到记忆之路，回顾了我们2015年最受欢迎的帖子。

1.表面精加工3D打印零件的终极指南

首先：我们受欢迎Ultimate Guide to Surface Finishing 3D Printed Parts。

The guide covers different finishing methods for FDM and PolyJet parts and offers techniques and tips to elevate the look and feel of prototypes to visual model standards.

2. BB-8拆卸

One of our first teardowns! After being introduced to the lovable BB-8 droid from The Force Awakens and then seeing Sphero come out with their own toy, we couldn’t resist.

一场Dremel会议之后，我们窥视了我们的小朋友，发现了一些漂亮的整洁机制。

3. Nintendo Controller Teardown

This is one of my favorites: a teardown of all the classic Nintendo controllers, from the very first NES system, through the Nintendo 64 (hello, joy stick!) and finally ending at the very complex and tv-like Wii U remote.

4. The True Cost of Machine Ownership

Thinking about buying a 3D printer? Before you do,read this post。We get a lot of startups coming to us, asking whether or not they should buy their own machine(s).

There are many different and complex variables that inform whether or not machine ownership is the right decision for you, so here we outline exactly what those variables are to help you make the best decision.

5.设计快照拟合组件

Snap fits are fantastic part features to help improve ease of assembly while saving production time and money.

Here’s our guide to设计快照拟合组件, where we describe the key features, calculations and ways to troubleshoot issues for designing and prototyping plastic snap fit components.

6.这就是航空工程师设计硬件产品的方式

Read how James Olander, founder of栖息，利用他在航空工程领域的背景来设计和开发我们使用过的最佳笔记本电脑摊位。

In this Spotlight，他分享了他用来设计其3D打印原型的结构元素的工程工作流程，以便推断这些结果以了解注射成型零件的性能。

7. Industrial Design vs Mechanical Engineering — This is How Endless Manages the Give and Take

We’re always interested in learning more about improving workflow dynamics between engineers and designers.

Here,我们偷看了into the working dynamic between industrial designer Scott Shumaker and VP of Engineering George Hines atEndless Mobile，以及他们如何有效利用彼此的专业知识来创造比单独创造的更好的东西。
