Retrofit projects are often very time-consuming, both for the engineers who must take numerous field measurements to produce drawings and for the contractor that must fabricate each assembly on site.

3-D modelling is maturing fast. Increasingly affordable solutions are not only raising general awareness of 3D workflows but revolutionizing design, engineering and manufacturing processes. The case ...

The HandySCAN 3D|PRO series, bundled with Scan-to-CAD Pro, combines advanced technology with user-friendly design to optimize ...

Living in an essentially zero-gravity environment, many deep-sea animals have evolved soft, gelatinous bodies and collect food using elaborate mucus filters. Until now, studying these delicate ...

Thanks to their use of a unique methodology, a McGill-led research team has obtained new insights into how boulders affect ...

This project demonstrates how to create a layered cardboard human skull using a Full Spectrum laser cutter and Autodesk 123D Make software. After cutting and assembling the pieces, the skull is coated ...

The last decade has witnessed a huge development in additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing when compared with its counterpart, subtractive manufacturing. AM enables rapid prototyping, ease of ...

The average FDM 3D printer is not so different from your garden variety laser cutter. They’re often both Cartesian-coordinate based machines, but with different numbers of axes and mounting different ...
