NEi Motion and Kinematics software by Fedem Technology simulates dynamic mechanisms, determining the forces, stress, deformation, fatigue, and life of mechanical systems with moving parts. It can ...

HEXAGON MANUFACTURING INTELLIGENCE division released a new machine-simulation software to address five-axis machine instability, so manufacturers can achieve finished-part quality without sacrificing ...

Research, development, and production of novel materials depend heavily on the availability of fast and at the same time accurate simulation methods. Machine learning, in which artificial intelligence ...

The digital twin represents the full machining environment in a digital space, including the workpiece, stock, fixtures and cutting tools. The more complex a machine tool is, the more value can be ...

Imagine a clock that doesn’t have electricity, but its hands and gears spin on their own for all eternity. In a new study, physicists at CU Boulder have used liquid crystals, the same materials that ...
