Industrial Design: New Sheet Metal Conversion Tools with Automatic
Conversion - imported or natively designed solids are now able to be
automatically converted into unfoldable sheet metal parts, so users can
take libraries of dumb solids generated from other applications and convert
them into fully native, editable sheet metal parts. Sheet metal parts
can also be designed in a normal part workspace and then converted to
sheet metal later, fast tracking many common design requirements
For
Power Users: Complete Code Rewrite and Native 64-bit Version for
Larger & More Complex Models - Alibre Design 2011 has been completely
rewritten in the C# programming language, in addition to being
re-architected to support a native 64-bit version of the software.
This enables Alibre power users to make models of incredible complexity
and size.
For
Beginners: New Faster 2D Detailing Framework Avoids Confusing
Toolbars & Dialogs - 2D detailing with in-place editing framework. This
set of tools is hyper-context sensitive, allowing users to avoid toolbars
and dialogs almost altogether. By clicking on items, available options
are shown directly at the mouse, and users can make edits to almost
anything in real-time.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.
The 3D printing revolution seems to have a knack for quickly moving technology ahead by way of collaborative effort and even a little friendly competition -- all of course in the name of scientific advancement.
Advantech has launched a new series of motion-control I/O modules to meet the increased demands that come with more distributed industrial systems that require control of a growing number of axes and devices.
Using almost 200 light-emitting diodes in the front and back of the new 2014 CTS, Cadillac designers are showing how LEDs can change the character of a vehicle.

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
