3D Printing - Material selection can be a guessing game, but it doesn’t have to be. If you’re an engineer looking to quantitatively analyze a material to determine if its properties fit your application, then you’ll need to be ready with a wide range of facts.

Hardware - Teach pendants are a critical part of the factory environment as they act as the human/machine interface for industrial robots. But since teach pendants are handheld, they are under a greater risk of damage due to falls.

3D Printing - Product development in most companies requires a sequential iterative process to come up with the right product. It can be time-consuming and time is a resource that is in the shortest supply.

PLM/ERP - Today’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) landscape is mature, with most companies having implemented some level of ERP solution.

BIM - Buildings are the human response to inclement weather. Be it the shining sun, heat, cold, wind gusts, rain, snow, dust or any other harmful elements of nature, our shelters allow us to rest, work or carry out almost any activity in comfort and safety.

Electronics - As electronic systems become ever smaller and more powerful, the thermal energy released by their components increases. This is especially true for RF testing equipment, where CPUs, controller chips and hard drives are packed into the smallest footprint possible.

3D Printing - Design and manufacturing expectations keep escalating. There’s a heightened consumer desire for variety, customization, automation and technological innovation.

Advanced Manufacturing - Today’s manufacturing workplace is being digitized faster than ever before. With new technologies such as edge computing, IIoT solutions, machine learning and more making it possible to gain deeper insight into your manufacturing methods, now is the time to accelerate your commitment to a digital factory.

Advanced Manufacturing - Selective laser sintering (SLS) technology is at the heart of a growing trend in mass custom manufacturing, as well as functional prototyping.

Advanced Manufacturing - 3D printing emerged as a prototyping technology in the 1980s and has been rapidly evolving ever since.

Designer Edge - As time goes on, there are fewer products developed and manufactured that are truly 100 percent mechanical or electrical. Combined mechanical, electrical and electronic components are part of virtually all contemporary value-add products.

Designer Edge - Cooperation and collaboration between mechanical and electrical designers are absolute necessities for developing innovative electromechanical products. But why and how do some teams succeed at achieving this while others fail?

Hardware - Turing is the latest graphical processing unit (GPU) architecture from NVIDIA, and it underpins the new RTX graphics cards. RTX is shorthand for real-time ray tracing, which is one of the biggest advantages of the Turing architecture.

Electronics - In 1999, NVIDIA introduced the term “GPU”, or graphics processing unit, with the release of the GeForce 256 GPU. This was the first consumer-level hardware-accelerated graphics chip, and it kicked off a GPU product family that continues to this day.

3D Printing - Achieving transparent 3D-printed parts can be challenging if you don’t have the right materials and technology, but the value and versatility of clear parts makes finding the right materials a hurdle worth vaulting.

3D Printing - Push-button manufacturing is a concept that simplifies the process of physically creating a part down to a single command. An engineer designs a part in every detail, specifies the material the part should be made from, and issues the order: “make the part.”

Electronics - The world of product development and manufacturing are changing. With Industry 4.0, we’re on the brink of a new dawn of automation and intelligence, with smart, connected products and the smart factories that produce them.

Advanced Manufacturing - The automotive industry is increasingly turning to additive manufacturing, and fused deposition modeling (FDM) specifically, as a reliable alternative to traditional metal-cutting methods, like milling, turning and boring.

3D Printing - Open up new possibilities for your business by changing the way you think about product development. Compared to traditional methods, 3D printing offers advantages that allow you to make more innovative products and get them to market faster.

3D Printing - 3D scanning has advanced dramatically in recent years, and the breadth of fields where the technology has found an application has grown. Reverse engineering is no longer the only player in the 3D scanning market.
