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.

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 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
Dassault 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
When 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.

As a support for designers and developers, Ejot offers forecast programs for the pre-design of direct screw connections. With these tools, screw connection parameters can be calculated depending on materials and construction parameters. Numerous practical examples show that these programs can already achieve significant savings during the development phase. The new "Altra Calc" program was specially developed for predicting direct screw connections in light metals.
