…used. Additionally, their fixed reliance on triangles limits the precision of the workflow model and the output quality.” “GPUs are fast but lack the infrastructure to do geometry,” says Shawn Hopwood, Dyndrite chief marketing officer. “There needs [to be] something on top of the kernel.” Thanks to NVIDIA’s Maxwell generation of GPU technology, Hopwood says Dyndrite can run a full geometry kernel on top of the GPU. “What we see [in 3D processing] is what happened in 2D when Adobe created PostScript,” adds Hopwood. “Computing has gotten to the level where we can operate and compute what goes to the…

…Key factors will continue to be reliability, safety, speed, precision and ease of use. As with the early personal computer market, robots will be used for applications the manufacturers did not imagine. There will not be a common API for robots as was the case for early PCs, at least not in 2019 or 2020. However, robots today are seen as a programmable platform, and the key to new applications is the growing third-party robotic software market that is comparable to the PC sector 20-30 years ago. 3) Demand for sensors will increase. There is growing recognition that companies will…
