Cable TV deals aren’t hard to find, that is as long as you aren’t already a subscriber to Comcast or Time Warner.

The reason for that is because the cable television company wants to increase their customer base, so of course they are willing to offer you a great deal, generally for the first six months of your cable service. The cable provider figures if you sign up with them, you may set up a so-called triple play bundle that includes not only cable TV, but also home phone and internet setup.

You can usually get a triple play bundle for just $99 per month for the first year. Consider the following example with cable company pricing: Basic TV costs $55 a month, high speed internet is $45 per month, and phone service is $30 a month. With prices like this, your overall bill would be $140 per month before taxes and fees that always seem to find their way onto your cable bill. With prices like this, a promotional deal that offers all three services for $99, even if it is just for 6 months looks pretty good to the average cable TV customer.

But it is good to consider how this might turn out down the road Well consider what the bill will look like once your promotional period is over. You will have all of your television sets connected to cable TV, your internet connection with your e-mail address with the cable company, and of course your phone service with the cable company as well. But all at once the price goes up nearly 40%, from around $100 per month to $140+ per month. Now is it easy to switch?

Rapid Prototyping

Rapid Prototyping or EBM is a great new alternative method, that can be used instead of both rapid prototyping and manufacturing of metal products. The method is especially useful to the aerospace industry.

The technology is becoming very popular because it has the ability to build dense parts that are similar to any wrought material. Besides, the cost for manufacturing parts through this process is substantially less as compared to the other additive fabrication or metal based methods that are common employed. EBM has also opened the doors to configurations for several new designs.

The technology is very useful as it can help produce parts using titanium within hours as opposed to days. The aerospace industry is very familar with this technology as it uses this technology to create a few low volume products. The time and the cost factors involved in creating titanium products are major obstacles for the aerospace industry. Ready to install titanium parts can be created in a simple and efficient manner with the help of this technology.

Working of Rapid Prototyping : Like the name suggests, the Prototyping device consists of an electron beam that has the ability to melt metal powder. The machine lays down layers of the powder metal successively, after reading data from 3 – D CAD model. The parts of the machines are computer controlled, and it builds the finished model by laying one layer over another, of the metal.
