  Everyone knows the Wright brothers as the inventors of the modern aeroplane. However, not everyone is familiar with the reason they won the title. It was not that their machine was the first ever to fly, but because it was the first one that could be controlled while in the air. Every aircraft built since has had controls to roll wings right or left, pitch the nose up or down and veer the nose side to side.

Geoff Turner of Design Rule, explains how Virtual Reality (VR) can be used to enhance product design as the technology becomes more affordable and accessible.

Although CAD is widely accepted and used across industries, most software tools haven’t changed fundamentally in the last ten years. However, according to Adam Bannaghan, Technical Director of Design Rule, two changes are clear: off-the-shelf PCs have replaced costly workstations running on UNIX and the collaborative functionality of software has significantly increased since the launch of AutoCAD 2000i - the first web enabled CAD software ...

A fundamental part of product development is the creation of a Bill of Materials (BOM).However, manufacturers are often unsure at what stage of the product development the BOM comes in. Best practice dictates that the BOM needs to travel fluently through the different development stages, evolving and changing as products are designed, built and eventually, circulated.

The ‘Power-by-the-Hour’ approach to engine maintenance management that was introduced by Rolls Royce has recently celebrated the 50th anniversary.

What a year 2015 was for technology. Apple starting us off with their leap into wearable technology, by launching the Apple Watch in April and then October brought us one step closer to self-driving cars with the launch of Tesla’s semi-autonomous autopilot system. Now half way through 2016, it's likely that your business is looking to replicate 2015's successes and eradicate the chance of failure. 

Design Rule has recently witnessed an increasing demand for high performance 3D viewing solutions in the product design sector.
