Engineer's Guide: If you have a shipping box that's been wrapped with plastic strapping, you can put a ton of force on it in tension without breaking it...but if you lightly lift one strap off the other at the seam, it'll snap apart easily. #engineersgui… https://t.co/VzKRbqM3WB

This photo of a supermassive black hole is an incredible feat of scientific ingenuit- ...wait, is that *my* desk?? Hm...I guess this is why I can never find anything. #blackhole #science #messy https://t.co/Vc9XqqOg1x

Enginerd Josh often sits like this on the phone...we've thought about telling him to just move the thing to the other side of the desk, but agreed that this is more entertaining. #weird #engineered https://t.co/HgVDzVH1NO

New feature announced in #SolidWorks 2019! Sometimes, careful modeling just can't get you what you want in the time you want it - you just need SolidWorks to go for it. Presenting: the Hold My Beer feature. #CAD #3dmodeling https://t.co/uONaTjFliP

When people do "the robot," they're referencing control systems that are a couple decades old. Modern robots dance like this. #cnc #robotics #engineering

Sometimes, if you overdesign something hard enough, it actually *stops* working. #engineering #what

The Tower spherical steam engine, invented in the late 1800's, uses an oscillating plate in a spherical chamber to create the compression necessary to power the 2 output shafts. (Good luck sealing it, though.) #engineering https://t.co/vz5abXQ6lG

A classic machinist joke - the "specialized hardware" page of the fastener handbook, made for those situations where a normal bolt won't work (for some weird reason). #shop #machining https://t.co/Ng1fQvnfej

@josefprusa just released an upgrade for our MK3's that uses an opto-mechanical sensor (instead of just optics). I'm excited about upgrading, but this was the image they included in the announcement email...yup... https://t.co/oHwzQ8Kusj

We got our new lightbox for photos, & enginerd Josh did the obvious & necessary thing: #autodeskfusion360 "View Cube" cosplay. (Pity the lighting for this photo was terrible...if only we had some way to produce nice, diffuse light...) https://t.co/xIH4uYE13Z
