Camera-based monitoring of build process significantly cuts costs
Expanding its EOSTATE monitoring suite, EOS have designed an additional tool. EOSTATE Exposure OT, the first commercial system for optical tomography worldwide, now provides real-time, camera-based monitoring of the additive, metal-based build process, based on the EOS M 290 system. The solution fully maps each part throughout the build process, layer by layer, regardless of its geometry and size.
Module quickly makes die-sinking electrodes
An innovative module has been announced by CAM manufacturer OPEN MIND Technologiesfor automating the design and production of electrodes for die-sinking.hyperCAD-S Electrodeis an integrated CAD software for hyperMILL users that is specifically tailored to the requirements of CAM programmers. The most notable addition to Version 2017.2 is a module that provides quick designing of die-sinking electrodes.
Custom spring probes designed for demanding requirements
Everett Charles Technologies (ECT) knows how to provide custom spring probes for just about every application.
Paving the way for autonomous driving and high-speed communication
The automotive industry is focusing its efforts on developing solutions for autonomous driving and car-to-car communication. At the same time, the communications industry is moving towards 5G, and broadband networks are becoming ever faster. Large and complex volumes of data need to be transmitted securely in fractions of a second. Demanding applications such as these require specially developed printed circuit board (PCB) and interconnection tec...
CADverter supports latest versions of Creo and NX
Staffordshire based, Theorem Solution has announced the release of their latest CADverter for Creo > NX users.V19.4 supports Creo 2.0 and 3.0 as well as NX 9.0, NX 10 and NX 11.This uni-directional CADverter can also be licensed with Theorem’s NX > Creo CADverter to create a bi-directional translator.
Personalised virtual heart for non-invasive heart diagnostics
EPFL mathematician Alfio Quarteroni and his team are building a virtual heart model based on personalised medical images that may one day help cardiologists and cardiac surgeons non-invasively diagnose pathological heart conditions. The team recently modelled and simulated the behaviour of a patient’s aortic valve.
Decomposing leaves are a source of greenhouse gases
Michigan State University scientists have pinpointed a new source of nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas that’s more potent than carbon dioxide. The culprit?Tiny bits of decomposing leaves in soil.This discovery, featured in the current issue ofNature Geoscience, could help refine nitrous oxide emission predictions as well as guide future agriculture and soil management practices.
How to improve TPMS design flow
Automobile safety concerns are increasing worldwide and a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) has proven to be a very effective way of reducing single car accidents caused by insufficient tyre pressure. Here, Nicolas Henriet, Senior RF Engineer, Sensata Technologies, describes how the company used high frequency software to enhance the design process and optimise its TPMS performance.
GelSight technology provides robots with a sense of touch
Eight years ago, Ted Adelson’s research group at MIT’s CSAIL unveiled a new sensor technology, called GelSight, that uses physical contact with an object to provide a remarkably detailed 3Dmap of its surface.Now, by mounting GelSight sensors on the grippers of robotic arms, two MIT teams have given robots greater sensitivity and dexterity. The researchers presented their work in two papers at the International Conference on Robotics a...
Software suite offers improved machining strategies
The latest 2017.2 Version of thehyperMILL CAM suite is said to provide a number of improved machining strategies, such as 3D-optimised roughing and programming aids such as T-slot feature detection. In addition, the CAD softwarehyperCAD-S has been given a new module for the production of electrodes for die-sinking.
