When I first entered the formnext 2018 show floor on Tuesday last week, I realized right away that there was a lot to learn at this year’s edition of the leading global event on additive manufacturing. With a strong focus … Read More
“Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black.” – Henry Ford (July 30, 1863 – April 7, 1947) Today, when I see a white car on the road, I can hardly tell what the exact color … Read More
A variety of critical performance metrics can be predicted via simulation, including boresight error, transmission loss, bird-strike damage, and deflection under aerodynamic load. When it comes to aircraft design, engineers must meet standard requirements and consider every scenario. Would the … Read More
Creating CAD data from physical objects (reverse engineering hereunder) can be time consuming and labor intensive. Moreover, each use case has different expectations for the data. For example, some use cases demand higher quality of the CAD surfaces than others. … Read More
Last week a few hundred engineers and designers from major German OEMs and Tiers gathered in the Bavarian town of Würzburg at the 7th LeichtbauGipfel (German for Lightweight Summit) to discuss how lightweight design impacts the vehicles we drive everyday. … Read More
The relatively slow (28,000 mph) meteor seen across six U.S. states and Canada on Tuesday night was not the only news headline featuring Southeast Michigan this week. The 2018 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) opened its doors for media … Read More
We must often strike the right balance between the computational time and accuracy of our simulation. Simplification/removal of unimportant CAD features, locally refined mesh, and usage of equivalent elements are some proven methodologies to reduce the calculation time. If the … Read More
Imagine sitting in a freshly renovated red caddy with blackened windows. You are riding up an elevator, when leaving it, you are riding along a path in the sun. Heads are turning, boxes and other objects in the way are … Read More
