Brand new for your product development

The good old drawing board or the slide rule as well as formularies and scribblers are museum pieces. Today, all development work is done on a PC, also known as a workstation. There's artificial intelligence and virtual reality. CAE tools are used to calculate, design, configure, optimize and simulate. Yes the product developer today it is easy or not? After all, he has to Methods and Processes for product development as well as the software tools available on the market, so that the product development process is as efficient and reliable as possible and the ever-pressing market launch is a successful one. Not only must he operate the software, he also has to be able to update it continuously, learn the test methods and keep his hardware up to date.

Product development for special industries

The following new products are for special industries like the Automotive industry, Renewable energies, Technical Building Services, Medical Technology, Mobile Machinery has been developed. You will also find new drive technology from the applied research

  • The demand for new sustainable plastics that are also recyclable is increasing. This also applies to thermoplastics, which are often used in the automotive industry. In addition to a material modeling technology that reduces the carbon content in plastic by 60%, you will find other thermoplastic innovations here that save weight, among other things...
  • Interstellar Lab introduces the Biopod self-sustaining food production system, which enables sustainable human life on Mars, Earth and the Moon by creating and reusing food, water and air. A virtual twin is used to simulate, test and compare the performance of the microhabitat and the biological systems...
  • Freudenberg Sealing Technologies (FST) has developed a material testing method and a simulation method for elastomer materials that can be used to improve the performance and service life of components in offshore wind turbines. The material simulation analyzes how the materials behave over the lifetime of a turbine.  
  • The development time for self-driving cars should be reduced to hours instead of weeks. To achieve this, Continental and Nvidia are building a high-performance computer cluster based on the DGX AI system. Virtual data generation, artificial intelligence and the simulation of autonomous vehicles are the future core tasks of the most powerful supercomputer in the automotive industry.  
  • Neomento develops virtual reality-based software solutions for the treatment of mental disorders such as anxiety and addiction. The most effective form of treatment, confrontation in real settings (in vivo), is logistically expensive, challenging and not fully controllable.
  • Altair announces the expansion of the Altair Partner Alliance (APA) with the highly developed visualization and real-time multibody simulation software "Vortex Studio Create" from CM Labs Simulations. The software is now available for use by Altair HyperWorks customers who can gain real-time insights for all device types with the virtual training environment.

Product development for mechanical engineering

Below you will find hardware and software for product development in general and for the Industrial machinery and equipment:


First steel engine from the 3D metal printer

PTC 3D printingPTC has the world's first Micro turbo engine (Picture above) presented, which completely with the 3D printer was made. The only assembly was developed in the CAD software Creo. It contains all rotating and fixed components. The engine was printed with an EOS 3D printer from the material Inconel, a nickel-based, heat-resistant nickel-chromium alloy. It weighs only 3,6 kg.


3Dexperience Lab opened for startups

DassaultLabDassault Systèmes has opened the first 3Dexperience Lab in Germany after Paris, Boston and Pune. The global Impact Lab aims to accelerate pioneering projects with a strong positive impact on society. The new hub in Munich supports young founders and local start-ups in implementing their disruptive ideas into reality. Innovators and doers should be able to fully develop their creativity.


Find the right plain bearing material with the Iglidur configurator

Igus IglidurWhen it comes to wear-resistant tribo-polymers, users have Igus the agony of choice. For small series or series production in injection molding, a prototype from the 3D printer or semi-finished products, the plastics specialist has now developed an offline configurator for its 39 Iglidur standard materials: The user can determine the appropriate material using templates. An Iglidur expert system is also available for the selection and calculation of the service life.


 

3dconnexion0419All 3D Connexion products now support the beta version of the 3D CAD application SolidWorks "Xdesign" by Dassault Systèmes. In the future, users will be able to construct from anywhere with a 3D mouse and Cadmouse.

The digital transformation lives from the closer connection of the available data - not only in the current production, but already in the development of machines and systems. Lenze zWhat data the company makes available to its partners and how it can be integrated and used advantageously. Only the right tools, services and methods make this possible machine builders the successful entry into Digital engineering.

festoPlanners and developers can quickly create their integrated circuit diagrams with the "Fluiddraw Professional" software from Festo. The intelligent software solution ensures clear structures in a user-friendly manner, from the idea through planning to system and machine construction, even with complex systems - now also with electrical circuit diagrams. The new software solution is based on the functional foundation of the Fluiddraw S5.

Gas springs are important components, for example in the automotive or furniture industry, where controlled movements of loads are required. You will also be in the Medical Technology and used in aviation. If a gas spring is incorrectly calculated, this can lead to dangerous and expensive damage to a machine or system. Below you will find information on how to calculate, design and order gas springs online.

 

telegaertner0316telegardener has expanded and renewed its cable configurator for coax cables. The tool for configuring over 400 connectors and cable types is now consistently geared towards user-friendliness. For this purpose, the naming has been structured uniformly and the distinction between crimp, solder and terminal versions has been sharpened. Newly included are 4.3-10, Mini HD-BNC and HF Semi Flex cables.

GWJ Technology offers software for the Gearcalculation im Transmission and mechanical engineering. The calculation professional from Braunschweig supports design and development engineers in their daily work.
