Why Engineers Avoid Sharp Corners- Beyond The Basics Episode 1

May 31, 2026

In our first engineering lesson, Jake, a mechanical engineer at SCS, breaks down why radii matter in design and how sharp corners can create stress concentrations that lead to part failure. You’ll learn how stress moves through a part, why geometry plays such a big role in strength, and how adding the right radii can improve durability and performance. We also cover basic stress calculations, real world engineering insights, and practical design tips for creatin
