What aerospace can teach the rest of industry about augmented reality
Pain points, complete 3D data files, and changing social negatives into assets are all part of the way forward. There is a saying in aerospace: the cost of an error is the cost of the satellite. If you find a way to improve quality control in assembling a satellite, return on investment in that new method is pretty fast. Boeing has been using various methods of augmented … [Read more...] about What aerospace can teach the rest of industry about augmented reality
CFS & ITI win research grant to develop new meshing solutions
The goal is to create new computational fluid dynamics routines for the earliest stages of aerospace industrial design. Cambridge Flow Solutions (CFS) and International TechneGroup Limited (ITI) have been awarded a three-year R&D grant award from the UK Government to support development of advanced geometry processing and automated meshing solutions for aerospace. … [Read more...] about CFS & ITI win research grant to develop new meshing solutions
Latest Dassault Systèmes dashboard targets aerospace and defense
“Co-Design to Target” tracks a variety of criteria and provides functional mock-up visualization. Eliminating “point solutions” is part of the spec. Dassault Systèmes has launched another in its series of “3D Experience” industry-specific dashboards; “Co-Design to Target” offers aerospace and defense (A&D) new tools for tracking the complex interactions and conflicting … [Read more...] about Latest Dassault Systèmes dashboard targets aerospace and defense
8Tree delivers single-purpose FastCheck 3D scanner
3D scanning is combined with augmented reality to provide instant analysis of fuselage rivets. Started just a year ago by former TI Digital Light Processing (DLP) manager Arun Chhabra in Colorado and photonics expert Erik Klaas in Germany, 8tree is bringing a new approach to the scanner market, one that will no doubt be copied by other suppliers once they … [Read more...] about 8Tree delivers single-purpose FastCheck 3D scanner
