Software offers pre-production tools for laser tube cutting
The CAD/CAM software TubeWorks has been enhanced to provide tubular metal fabricators with powerful pre-production tools for laser cutting, as well as tube bending. Available from Unison and devloped by 3DCompound, TubeWorks is a specialist add-in module for the popular SolidWorks mechanical CAD package.
Connector series cover low, mid, high-power spectrum
Molex’s Perfect Fit range comprises three series of robust, reliable power interconnects. Mega-Fit, Mini-Fit Jr and Micro-Fit 3.0 connectors provide a power solution for a wide range of applications across a broad range of markets, from defence to consumer. All three series are available from TTI.
Materialise joins Altair Partner Alliance
Enabling 3-matic STL to be available to HyperWorks users, Materialise has joined the Altair Partner Alliance. With 3-matic STL, users can make design modifications directly on STL, scanned, and CAD data in preparation for 3D printing.
Parallel processing software shortens simulation run-times
Parallel processing software, claimed to speed up the development of beam particles, has been released by Cobham Technical Services. The3D Space Charge module is an addition to the company'sOpera-3d suite of electromagnetic and multi-physics design tools,which use finite element (FE) analysis to compute the physical interaction of charged particles with electrostatic or magnetostatic fields.
CNC developments to be showcased at IMTS 2014
At IMTS 2014, NUM will showcase its latest developments in machine tool CNC hardware and software technology. Highlights will include a highly cost-effective dual channel CNC kernel for designers of small to medium size machines with up to five axes, a functional safety architecture that can easily be scaled to suit any type of machine, and new grinding software for complex geometry tools.
Chuck delivers reduced energy consumption during operation
Boasting a mass reduction of 38%, the latest addition to Leader Chuck System's TOPlus Mini range is one third shorter and one third smaller in diameter. The enables the chuck to provide reduced energy consumption during operation and better cutting tool accessibility.
Shale gas acceptance will boost sensors market
According to analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Sensors Market in Shale Gas Industry, market revenues are estimated to rise from $63.0m in 2013 to $106.8m in 2020.
Software update slashes simulation times
NI has released V11.01 of the NI AWR Design Environment with enhancements to Analyst 3D finite element method (FEM) EM simulation engine that cuts simulation times by as much as 70 percent over previous versions. The updates in V11.01, which are specific to Analyst, include algorithm reformulations/enhancements to both automatic mesh refinement (AMR) and fast frequency sweeps.
Bonding technique features high tensile strength
A ceramic-to-ceramic bonding technique, suitable for use in demanding and high-pressure fluid handling and vacuum applications, has been released by Morgan.Using a preparatory formulation applied to one or both faces of the parts to be joined, the bonding technique delivers high tensile strength.
Why the interest in e-textiles?
By Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx The heart of the e-textile business as it emerges is electric and electronic functionality from sensing to light emission, achieved entirely by use of e-fibers. Components and interconnections intrinsic to the fabric, or at least widely distributed through the fabric, are less visible and not susceptible to becoming tangled together or snagged by the surroundings. An e-textile can be worn in everyday situat...
