As suppliers of industrial PCs continue to embrace more powerful Intel processors, the chip maker's Core Duo dual-core products have now become fair game. One of the first models that crams the Core Duo into a panel PC form factor comes from Kontron. The company's new Kontron V Panel Express features a Core Duo processor embedded as part of a COM-Express-compliant, scaleable-ETXexpress Computer-On-Modules (COM). Thanks to its extra core, the V Panel Express can more easily run multiple control and HMI applications on single industrial PC. With a display size ranging from 12- to 17-inches, the Kontron V Panel Express has maximum RAM of 2 GB. It can be equipped with two CF Cards and up to two SATA hard drives. Interface options include two serial ports, five USB ports, DVI-I and two LAN 10/100/1000 Base-TX ports. The unit also has two free PCI slots for expansion. The Kontron V Panel Express supports Windows XP and Windows XP Embedded, as well as Linux and Embedded Linux. Introduced last November at the SPS/IPC Drives Show in Nuremberg, Germany, the Kontron V Panel Express will be available in North America by the end of March, according to product manger Cliff Moon.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
