Design for manufacturing is a problem that has always plagued engineering teams. Product designs that look great as computer-aided design (CAD) often run into real-world obstacles when they reach the ...

Computer-aided designs, such as this model of a fingertip-sized heart pump, can reduce the number of physical prototypes that must be made. Computer-aided design (CAD) is a tool intended to facilitate ...

Engineers recently released a new computer-aided engineering software program, and its users are already calling it a “gift from heaven.” Mechanical engineers spent four years developing the software, ...

CAD, or computer-aided design, has transformed design in many fields, allowing simulation and numerical data modeling in industries such as architecture, engineering, construction, product design and ...

To identify the information technologies required for a computer-aided system to support materials selection, the committee articulated a future vision of a full-function Computer-Aided Materials ...

Luminary provides cloud access to massively parallel processing to enable faster, more accurate computational simulations. Credit: Luminary Cloud A U.S. startup promising to drastically cut the time ...

So, when did the medical device industry begin to embrace CAD/CAM and CAE software, and what nudged manufacturers in that direction? In 1995, MD+DI published an in-depth article noting an increasing ...

Since the first FEA solver, Nastran, was developed for NASA in the 1960s, the simulation software industry has contended with a number of hurdles. For one, while the software (FEA, CFD, CEM) is ...

In the early days of the semiconductor industry, integrated circuits were designed by one or two engineers with slide-rules, hand-drawn on paper, and then given to a lithographer to print onto silicon ...

Digital systems and technology such as computers, cell phones, and digital cameras have revolutionized our lives. Get ready to design and build the computer hardware and software of tomorrow, ...
