Meet the finalists in the Design Tools: Hardware & Software category of our 2012 Golden Mousetrap Awards. These are the products that are still in the running to be named the winners of our annual contest -- in their respective categories.
For the first time ever, the winners will be announced at a live ceremony during the Pacific Design & Manufacturing Show in Anaheim, Calif., on Tuesday, Feb. 12, and on Designnews.com following the ceremony.
Congratulations to our finalists, and good luck.

I've used TI's WeBench online tool with great success while designing LED Front Headlights for Visteon. What makes this new version of WeBench so appealing is the ability to design and test, through simulation, complete power systems. Can't wait to test drive the software.
I, too, like the TI WeBench--versatile and readily available. My other favorites are Creo's 2.0 and Infinite Z Inc. zSpace. I would stand in line to use a 3D holographic CAD program like zSpace.
Lately a lot of vendors have been creating online tools for mobile, desktop, and PC machines and Tolomatic joins the ranks of developing Cloud Computing apps for engineers. Sounds like a cool tool for robotics or Mechatronics design work when selecting electric actuators. I'll be test driving this online tool as well.
Mydesign, we are planning to post a silmilar slideshow highlighting all of the winners after the ceremony announcing them, which will be held in Anaheim on Feb. 12. I'm also hoping to hear from some of the winners, so hopefully we will get more information about the products at that time.
Jennifer, thanks for the response. That’s a good idea and may be inspiring for our other community members. Moreover, sharing the success is more important.
By experimenting with the photovoltaic reaction in solar cells, researchers at MIT have made a breakthrough in energy efficiency that significantly pushes the boundaries of current commercial cells on the market.
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.

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
