…Bed, the program comes as an add-in application for SolidWorks, a computer-aided design (CAD) program. ESPRIT Additive for Powder Bed Fusion is compatible with any file supported by SolidWorks. One standout feature of the new software is the patented Part-to-Build When preparing a part for manufacturing, the program automatically assigns exposure strategies based on simple inputs from the user. ESPRIT Additive for Powder Bed Fusion also introduces a slicer that offers accuracy thanks to a parametric workflow model. Once the part is ready to slice, it may be imported to the job environment as many times as needed. “This optimized…

SOLIDWORKS 2021 The popular mechanical program SOLIDWORKS is now in version 2021. Among the highlights are the ability to save defeatured or simplified components as a configuration, so you can toggle between the defeatured version and the original detailed version. It also comes with better handling of small gaps in mesh models in simulation, and fillet along nonplanar surfaces in sheetmetal design. If you have a GPU, you can expect to see better performance, specifically in assembly rotation, and in displaying models with silhouetted edges and occlusion culling. When you export an interference report, you can now include thumbnails of…

What was previously called SolidWorks World is now 3DEXPERIENCE World, a name change that will take some time for SolidWorks devotees to adjust to. (SolidWorks World was last held in 2019.) 3DEX World 2021 came online last week as a three-day virtual conference, offering a mix of keynotes, technical sessions, and customer stories. In rebranding of the conference to 3DEX World, Dassault Systèmes signaled a desire to transform SOLIDWORKS from a largely independent subsidiary revolving around a single product into an integrated part of the larger ecosystem. This began with the introduction of 3DEXPERIENCE Works, a suite of ancillary products…

…CAMWorks Version 2020 provides support for 3D printing of SolidWorks Assemblies, the CAMWorks ShopFloor product, intelligent probing functionality and automatic tab machining. With Version 2020, the CAMWorks Additive Manufacturing module, powered by Materialise, has extended 3D printing functionality to SolidWorks Assemblies. Multiple parts from the same assembly or different assemblies can be nested onto the build platform, which saves time and increases efficiency, and CAMWorks Additive Manufacturing automatically generates the build supports. CAMWorks Additive Manufacturing is fully integrated into SOLIDWORKS and allows 3D models to be printed directly from SolidWorks. CAMWorks ShopFloor provides CNC (computer numerical control) machinists the ability…

…open and closed contours in polyline format over to SolidWorks or other CAD/CAM applications. Other features in Artec Studio 14 include 3D modeling capabilities, such as Glare Removal, which uses advanced PBR (Physically Based Rendering) algorithms to produce uniform colored surfaces, as well as Bridges, a feature that lets users organically mend and repair holes and gaps in scans using existing scan geometry. “The new Artec Studio 14 supports Artec’s entire line of 3D scanners, allowing our users to digitize the very smallest objects, such engine valves or connectors, right up to cargo aircraft, with metrology grade precision,” says Artyom…

…marketing for Xometry. Xometry may be familiar to some SolidWorks users, as the company has a plug-in that lets SolidWorks MCAD software users directly submit files, get quotes, and order parts from their modeling software. Plethora, an on-demand CNC service provider, also works similarly, through a CAD plug-in compatible with SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Solid Edge, and NX. Such plug-ins make the submission and part ordering much more straightforward. It could be one way service providers expand their outreach to the design engineers who primarily determine the shape and function of the products early in the development cycle. Instant Quote Platform…

…need for third-party applications and made it easier for SOLIDWORKS users to print on PolyJet because the design intent details are immediately available in GrabCAD.” At 3DEXPERIENCE World, Stratasys also announced that body appearance, surface data, and texture information could be specified in SOLIDWORKS and then sent directly into GrabCAD for printing. The J826 3D Printer features a maximum build volume size of 10-in. x 9.9-in. x 7.9-in. (255mm x 252mm x 200mm). Multiple print modes let users adjust the speed and quality of the print to meet specific needs, from High Quality Mode to High Speed Mode. The J826…

…becoming commonplace. Almost all mainstream CAD programs—Autodesk Fusion and SOLIDWORKS, to name but two—include some form of generative design or topology optimization tools. This allows the software to employ AI-like algorithms to identify the best shapes for the designer’s stated purpose, whether to reduce weight or to counterbalance the anticipated stress (usually it’s a combination of both). But what’s far more subtle is the way machine learning is transforming the behavior of the CAD software itself.

Why college students should get involved “This challenge pairs well with student projects, capstones, and existing works” said Russell Nickerson, MassRobotics Partner Engagement Liaison. “It is also a great way for students to work with industry leaders and get exposure to state-of-the-art components offered by our partners.” Teams will utilize at least two partnered organization's offerings to build a solution that must sense, compute and actuate. Judging criteria will include originality, inspiration and impression, durability and reliability, challenge being solved and overall execution of the project. “Analog Devices…
