Two companies with different slants on the 3-D market marked some major milestones this week. 3Dconnexion, the maker of a popular family of 3-D mice, announced it has shipped more than one million 3-D mice for supporting 3-D design tools from such companies as Autodesk, PTC, Dassault Systèmes and Siemens PLM Software. To mark its “One Millionth 3-D Mouse Milestone,” 3Dconnexion will offer users a variety of opportunities to win and try out their own 3-D mouse.
Direct modeling software provider SpaceClaim talked up some good news of its own related to 3-D design tools. Touting significant customer wins with Tyco Electronics and LG Electronics, among others, SpaceClaim said it was enjoying a 40% year-over-year increase in new customers in addition to tripling sales in 2010. SpaceClaim CEO Chris Randles attributed its success to more cross-functional engineering teams tapping the tool to develop and test new 3-D product concepts before committing to costly and expensive detailed design in CAD.
We looked at a number of sources to determine this year's greenest cars, from KBB to automotive trade magazines to environmental organizations. These 14 cars emerged as being great at either stretching fuel or reducing carbon footprint.
Researchers at MIT and Sandia National Labs have observed a reaction in lithium-air batteries that could help improve the design of these cells for electric vehicles and other applications.

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
