fin Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Bomber now has an app for setting up the Bomber Trench Digger series of bindings, the TrenchGear3D. Huge thank you to the work of Scott Firestone for creating this app. The iTunes app store. It works great with a later edition iPad, iPhone, or iPod. Just search for TrenchGear3D, or use this link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/trenchgear3d/id898156375 The Google Play store. Try it on a later Android tablet or phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.AlpineCarving.TG3D&hl=en Or, run the app right in your web browser - no tablet/phone needed! The browser version will first ask you to download and install the Unity3D game engine plug-in, and then you're set: http://www.alpinecarving.com/tg3d The app has some very cool graphics and ability to view our binding in various ways. However, the core information you get is the derived cant and lift numbers as you rotate the base plate versus the cant disk. For example the two screen shots below: The first picture I am using a 6 degree cant disk set at the same angle as the base plate, 50 degrees (as seen at the top of the screen). So of course the derived cant is zero and the lift is 6 degrees (as seen in the red circles). Now in the second picture I have the base plate still at 50 degrees but the cant disk at 90 degrees (the slope in inline with the board, a very common set-up). Now the derived cant = 3.9 deg and the derived lift is 4.5 degrees. So if it helps you to see these derived cant and lift angles, this app can do that no problem. Scott has told me he plans to do a few upgrades to the app over time but if you have a wish list of something you would like to see, post it here.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Cool, update to the "Tweek-O-Matic" . Checking it out now. I would love to see Scott develop an app to show effects of plate placement relationships. Board to plate, bindings to plate , axle center points to plate etc. Deflection for different versions of the Boiler plate with a given weight.

Lucasgo Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Awesome app! Suggestion. . Add board width? And maybe some presets based on feedback from some riders for those new to the binding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucasgo Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Also, save settings. And can I only do one binding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
