A collaborative effort to create the concept for an interplanetary lander was unveiled at Autodesk World held this week in Las Vegas. The collaboration would be between NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and engineering software maker Autodesk. To accomplish a mission like this, an interplanetary lander needs to perform complicated operational functions in temperatures far below […]

To physically verify the safety of an autonomous vehicle (AV), Toyota estimates that a vehicle would have to undergo tests that ran along about 8.8 billion miles. Of course, testing on this many miles of test tracks is pretty much impossible. Automakers must rely on a significant increase in virtual testing and “mixed virtual-physical testing,” […]

ISmarTech Publishing expects to see that market increase to $9.5 billion by 2027, according to the research agency’s  2018 report on the 3D printed dental market. In 2017, 3D printing went mainstream in the dental industry, he report noted. Additive manufacturing within the dental industry has grown by more than 35 percent in both 2016 […]

Somehow you don’t hear much about tolerance and tolerance analysis. Obviously geometric dimensions and tolerances are a big part of every engineer’s life and, as with anything so everyday, yet vital, software has been created to help. As engineers examine the interaction of critical components in systems, they are typically performing some level of tolerance […]

MX3D, a maker of robotic additive manufacturing technology in Amsterdam has finalized the design for its 3D printed steel bridge, which is now on display at Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, in the Netherlands. The bridge, designed by Joris Laarman Lab, will then be installed at its final location on the Oudezijds Achterburgwal, one of […]
