The Engineering Passion ExpressAuthor: Brandon Donnelly
Why does this podcast sound like a train name?When you were a kid, it wasnt electromechanical devices that peaked your interest in engineering, it was boats, planes, cars, trains, or other big interesting things. Those items triggered a passion for engineering that led you to where you are today, but what is going to carry you further than that?Knowledge. Passion. Momentum. Knowledge itself is like a train, with each discovery connected to those before it, the train grows longer. Passion is the fuel of that train. A drive to understand, improve, and consider more than you could even perceive in the past. And finally, as knowledge and passion grow, the weight and speed of that train increases and so does the momentum carrying us into a brighter future. This is not a podcast about trains, but it is a podcast about engineering topics that increase knowledge or passion for engineers in a short and concise format, generally between 30-60 minutes.In every bright future I can envision, engineers play a role to make things better for people, so my hope is this podcast helps makes things better for engineers everywhere. Im looking forward to sharing with you, so please hop aboard The Engineering Passion Express to begin our journey.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Engineering Passion Express, we take you on a journey from being the person who knows the physics, to understanding how a system will be fabricated.This is not a narrative episode, rather it is an interview based episode with Lance Thrailkill, owner of All Metals Fabricating. Lance is a nice guy and great person to work with. You can check them out at https://www.ametals.comJoin me and learn how an engineer can increase their value by understanding design for manufacturing. Lance also left behind some valuable pieces of information. Here are his notes:Manufacturing Tips for Sheet Metalhttps://www.ametals.com/post/design-for-manufacturing-5-tips-for-sheet-metal-bendingOptimizing for Installationhttps://www.ametals.com/post/dfm-tips-to-optimize-your-part-design-for-hardware-installationChoosing the correct steelhttps://www.ametals.com/post/how-to-choose-the-right-steel-type-for-sheet-metal-fabricationConsiderations for Punched Partshttps://www.ametals.com/post/five-dfm-tips-for-punch-press-operations-in-precision-fabricationWelding Design Tipshttps://www.ametals.com/post/7-dfm-tips-for-faster-better-and-higher-quality-weldingPrecision Machininghttps://www.ametals.com/post/7-dfm-tips-for-your-next-precision-machining-projectSurface Finish Considerationshttps://www.ametals.com/post/your-guide-to-perfect-surface-finishes-how-all-metals-fabricating-matches-you-to-the-ideal-optionThanks for listening,Brandon DonnellyPlease connect with me on linkedin @ linkedin.com/in/brandondonnellyThe Engineering Passion Express is about growing knowledge and the passion for engineering.
