Advances in process modeling have given industry the tools to better understand the complex operations used to make medicines. The challenge now is understanding how best to combine the various ...

Most 3D design software requires visual dragging and rotating—posing a challenge for blind and low-vision users. As a result, ...

Ask six engineers what a model is and you may get six different answers. In mechatronics, the word model carries a specific meaning, and modeling is perhaps the single most important activity in ...

Moog uses advanced modeling and simulation tools—such as Simulink, MATLAB and its proprietary MAST library—to design and optimize high-performance motion control systems. Real-world applications ...

Recognizing the limits of traditional CAD for creating and controlling highly complex designs, a new effort has been launched to combine 3D modeling, simulation, and manufacturing processes into one ...

Digital imaging, virtual reality and 3D modeling have improved in the past decade but most designers and decision-makers are still unprepared to approve new designs without physical models. It's ...

Genomic modeling and design have the potential to transform synthetic biology research. However, researchers face bottlenecks due to insufficient tools that fail to support a deep understanding of the ...

FRANK P. MELENDEZ teaches at The Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture, City College of New York. His teaching and research engage topics pertaining to architectural drawing and 3D modeling, ...

Something that becomes abundantly clear as you progress through the senior design project is that an idea “on paper” often does not fully translate physically in the prototyping phase. Because at this ...

That’s the short and skinny, below you can check out more info on each tool to get a better idea what they, what skill level they’re built for, and their cost. From the Developer: Open Brush is the ...
