In practice, Optimization may reveal innovative solutions that proved difficult to find because the design space was complicated and highly interrelated, a typical scenario that occurs in designing high strength to weight components. http://ReverseEngineering.industrysearch.com/cgi-bin/portal2/main.plx?file=12242%2etxt GKS Inspection Services, a global provider of dimensional inspection, 3D laser scanning and terrestrial scanning services since 1981, has recently opened a laser scanning and CAD modeling office in Singapore. "GKS Singapore is an important part of our strategy for becoming the global leader in the 3D laser scanning services industry," said Armando Alonso, Vice President of GKS. "GKS Singapore increases our worldwide reverse engineering and CAD modeling capabilities while also giving us entry into the Singaporean marketplace." http://ReverseEngineering.industrysearch.com/cgi-bin/portal2/main.plx?file=11985%2etxt ESI Group, the leading solution provider in physics-based simulation software, announces the release of PAM-RTM for CATIA V5 used predominately in aeronautics, automotive, and shipbuilding industries. To answer the market requirement, ESI Group developed PAM-RTM for CATIA V5 as an application to simulate composite parts manufacturing based on liquid composite molding processes like resin transfer molding (RTM) or vacuum-assisted RTM (VARTM). Three-dimensional modeling now makes the study of thick parts possible and thermal management can be optimized. http://ReverseEngineering.industrysearch.com/cgi-bin/portal2/main.plx?file=11366%2etxt Mold and die shops serve customers using a wide variety of CAD systems to model their products. The ability to create molds and dies quickly and accurately is important to the manufacturing process and overall product development cycle and vital for their business. Additionally, the quality of an end product depends directly on the quality of the tooling. With this acquisition, PTC now offers an open solution to any toolmaker or company requiring high-speed precision machining CAM software, regardless of the source of CAD data. These companies will be able to optimize their mold and die making processes to deliver more complex products faster and with less cost. http://ReverseEngineering.industrysearch.com/cgi-bin/portal2/main.plx?file=11180%2etxt Terrestrial laser scanning is a ground-based technique for collecting high-density 3D geospatial data. GKS' new LS-880 scanner is designed for very large-scale, complex 3D scanning, such as entire buildings, factories, rooms, landscapes, and other big structures and locations, both inside and out. Since the unit is compact and quick to set up, high-speed non-contact data acquisition with the LS-880 is ideal in environments where health and safety issues must be considered, such as in a landslide area, or where access is limited, such as on roadways. http://ReverseEngineering.industrysearch.com/cgi-bin/portal2/main.plx?file=10815%2etxt The FARO Laser Scanner LS is a portable, computerized measurement device that scans, digitally recreates and records all of an object or area’s dimensions, creating what looks like a “photograph” on the computer screen – but in 3-D. http://ReverseEngineering.industrysearch.com/cgi-bin/portal2/main.plx?file=10644%2etxt The FARO Laser Scanner LS is a portable, computerized measurement device that scans, digitally recreates and records all of an object or area’s dimensions, creating what looks like a “photograph” on the computer screen – but in 3-D.
