Unfortunately, “beetle larvae” is not an option you will see in this survey. You could add that answer, but then you would likely disrupt the most serious survey in all the world of engineering software. COFES ( The Congress on the Future of Engineering Software) is coming up and part of the festivities include a…
You’ve tried to warn your children, your pets, your boss’ thumb that pops up over the cubicle wall and whispers movie quotes to you in a raspy voice. Screaming doesn’t help. Nevertheless, it’s happening. 3D weaving is here (has been) and Lexus is finally showing off the technology which started an Amish uprising surfaced almost two years ago.
It’s being used to create many parts on the Lexus LFA concept car. Parts being created with the machine include everything from the roof rails and chassis to front pillars and steering wheel. Lexus claims the new technology is reducing work for cutting and laminating from half a day to a mere 30 minutes. Yes, in the time that takes to bake a pizza, you could have a fresh, hot 3D woven replacement parts or a sweet new airfoil for your jeep.

Certified SolidWorks Expert Matt Perez launched his new site at SolidWorks World 2011. Now, SolidWorksLessons.info is the single site which contains his vast amount of knowledge that not only teaches, but also helps you approach the fun of modeling other complicated surfaces.
Set down those bottled brews. Really, stop prying them against your dear friends collar bone. There’s a better way to pop the top then hop on your ride. It has everything to do with highly machinable, lightweight 6061 aluminum and an array of anodized colors to make your bike pals snap your lycra… hey! Your lycra bike seat cover, C’mon.
New start-up SWARM (cheers for coolest design firm name ever) is bringing a fresh idea to bicycle seat posts that will make you push those pedals even harder. It’s a combination bike clamp/bottle opener and it’s their newest venture currently on invention engine Kickstarter.
We caught up with Jon Hart to talk conceptualizing the idea, going through iterations within SolidWorks and what prompted using Kickstarter in the attempt to claim supreme bike clamp/bottle opener dominance.
