For Immediate Release: August 15, 2011. Vancouver, BC – REGI U.S., Inc. (OTC BB: RGUS, Frankfurt Stock Exchange: RGJ) and Reg Technologies Inc. (TSX Venture Exchange: RRE.V, OTC BB: REGRF) are pleased to confirm the successful transfer directly from 3D cad model to CNC machine code for the prototype RadMax™ Diesel Engine.
This is a significant event, as REGI U.S., Inc. and Reg Technologies Inc. have proved their capability to go from 3D computer models of the cam surface to deriving the cutter path for the CNC milling center and fabricating the complex cam surface.
"The hardest parts are well underway and 95% of the fabrication of the parts is estimated to be completed by early September 2011," states Gil Martello from Path Technologies.
In prior technological stages, machine readable flat files comprised of many thousands of points with x, y, and z coordinates were required to be loaded into CNC machines with the process verified with human-entered corrections and multiple test pieces fabricated before a final prototype product was achieved.
This successful transfer applies directly to the RadMax cam and stator surfaces; both of which are implementations of complex transcendental formulas.
A detailed thermodynamic analysis of the patented RadMax engine was performed last year in conjunction with Belcan Engineering Services of Phoenix, AZ. As a result, the cam is fabricated from lightweight aircraft Aluminum and weighs approximately 12 pounds. This is in sharp contrast to earlier implementations in steel that weighed more than 50 pounds each. This capability is one of the major contributing factors to RadMax engine weight reduction, which naturally leads to enhanced fuel economy in every application.
This cam fabrication was one of the fabrication steps that were described in the RadMax™ test and certification process presented in our March 8, 2011 news release.
A picture of the cam fabrication progress is available on the Companies’ respective websites at www.regtech.com (Reg Technologies Inc.) and www.regiinc.com (REGI U.S., Inc.). The following are direct links:

Robert Grisar, Vice President of Engineering for REGI U.S., Inc. said, "It’s exciting to see the cam surface come alive. All CNC machine code was developed directly from our Solidworks 3D models, eliminating human data entry, interpretation, and manual adjustments.”
