CAD model retrieval and design reuse constitute a critical research area in engineering, where the efficient recovery of relevant design data from extensive libraries can notably reduce development ...

Are you ready to design a "molecular" machine? Software that is a distant cousin of conventional solidmodeling packages may turn today's designers into molecular engineers. The future of technology is ...

TNO developed technology that solves this: using 3D scanning and vision algorithms, we reconstruct models and detect defects, ...

Onshape is revolutionizing CAD modeling as we know it. Apple is always talking about how many professions increasingly rely on the iPad for work, and developers Onshape have just added another: ...

Software is eating another part of the world. (Or at least the next generation of software is eating the older 1970s-era kind.) Sunglass, which is coming out of beta today at TechCrunch Disrupt New ...

Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md. — An integral part of preparing and protecting Soldiers is analyzing Soldier equipment, weapons and vehicles. Vulnerability and Lethality, or V/L, modeling helps provide a ...

Whether it’s engineering or game design, 3d modeling and CAD work has become very big in the past few years, especially with a lot of folks starting to do it at home for things like 3D printer files.

Use AutoCAD's "Extrude" and "Revolve" commands to turn 2-D designs into 3-D models. "Extrude" is how 3-D modelers to refer to the technique of stretching a 2-D shape into 3-D space. AutoCAD performs ...
