Industry Perspective: Disrupting Manufacturing as We Know It
Why are holes round? A question with an answer that many just take as an eternal fact: holes have always been round. The practical reason holes are round is because we have always used a subtractive process in manufacturing to remove what we want to create the part or product we need. The problem with […]
The Living Heart Project Reaches New Milestones On the Cloud
At Dassault Systèmes, we uncover new ways to apply our technologies to big questions. One example comes from the Life Sciences industry: “What if physicians and surgeons could virtually analyze their patients’ health and respond with precisely planned therapies and surgeries? What if medical devices could be designed and safely tested in the virtual world […]
What’s The Flight Path for Additive Manufacturing?
As a mechanical engineer and licensed pilot, Bill Bihlman found the perfect first job at Beech Aircraft after graduate school. “My passion was always aviation,” he says. “My work gave me access to time in the air.” Yet he soon realized that although he liked engineering, he wanted to expand his horizons further. “Engineering is […]
Lattice Design with Abaqus and nTopology Element
Until recently, designing lattice structures was a long, difficult process. Conventional design tools don’t allow enough flexibility, and conventional analysis & optimization methods have struggled to integrate well into engineering workflow. But with a new collaboration between Abaqus and nTopology, lattice design, analysis, and optimization is a seamless and repeatable process. TOPOLOGY Lattice design begins with topology—the locations […]
Customer Interview: Stefanie Feih, Ph.D., The Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology
Dr. Stefanie Feih can be described as a citizen of the world, based on all the places she has studied, worked and lived. She grew up in Germany with a love of STEM topics, got her M.E. in her native country but also participated in an international exchange program with Cornell University in the U.S. […]
Accelerate your Innovations with Digital Additive Manufacturing
Additive manufacturing is revolutionizing how production parts are being conceived and produced. A digital thread that connects, integrates and intuitively captures design, materials and manufacturing parameters is key for the production of functional parts. Additive manufacturing applications in 3DEXPERIENCE enable and accelerate the digital transformation by providing a single, unified environment for designers, manufacturing specialists and simulation […]
A Word About Skateboarding….
In my life I’ve had so many hobbies that it would be hard to count them. Skateboarding is definitely the one I remember the most and it is still my favorite sport. It has fascinated me so much that I wrote my Bachelor’s Thesis about it. In this thesis, I did a computer simulation of […]
Five Must-Reads on The Platform Economy
The leaves on the trees are starting to change, meaning our days of sitting on the beach with a good book and drink in-hand are pretty much over. With that in mind, what better way to take advantage of the crisp autumn weather than by going “back to school” with a book that will boost your your entrepreneurial spirit. […]
Print to Perform!
Additive Manufacturing (AM) promises previously unknown design freedom and much greater flexibility than traditional manufacturing processes. A 3D printer is able to produce a desired component directly, eliminating the need for time-consuming preparatory work such as mold-making. Like any other manufacturing process, however, additive manufacturing also has its own particularities and fields of application. If […]
Finite-element study of a board & heat-sink assembly produced by Milper
