As a proud Altairian for more than 30 years, I’ve seen a lot of transformations in product development: The growth of high-fidelity system-level simulation to drive design, reduce test and improve product performance. Topology optimization to generate and refine structures beyond the … Read More
Being involved with 3D printing for more than 15 years, I see the same dynamics over and over. Every time a new print technology is introduced and is received well, it takes the innovator considerable time to make an impact … Read More
This is a guest post by Gabriel Dämmer, research associate at Festo and the Institute of Polymer Product Engineering at Johannes Kepler University. Combining additive manufacturing (AM) with structural optimization can result in functionally integrated and stiff but lightweight structures. … Read More
Over the years, computer-aided design (CAD) system geometry has evolved…from wireframes to surfaces to solids, and parametric to direct. Simulation, however, remains stuck using the same old beam, shell or simplified-solids paradigm invented more than 50 years ago. As CAD … Read More
Buzzwords such as IoT and Digital Twin are not new to the digital world. They have been gaining momentum in development and production discussions as the digital transformation of production becomes more relevant. But how is it possible to truly … Read More
The number of joint replacement surgeries in the US is skyrocketing amongst the baby boomer population. Not only are joints being replaced due to fractures and severe pain, but also to facilitate the continuation of an active lifestyle. Previous generations … Read More
The design of a manufacturing process is iterative in nature. The influential process parameters which can be quantified (E.g. Die radius) are continuously optimized using metal forming simulators coupled with optimization algorithms. This approach is being successfully applied at various … 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
