Additive manufacturing, also commonly referred to as 3D printing, is a manufacturing process by which material is added, layer by layer, to build a part. The process starts with a 3D model that is designed in the user’s native CAD program. That part is then analyzed and sliced into in many sections to create a… Continue Reading Six Essential Tools for SOLIDWORKS Users Working with Additive Manufacturing

Harvard University researchers have bioengineered a three-dimensional model of a human left heart ventricle that could be used to study diseases, test drugs and develop patient-specific treatments for heart conditions such as arrhythmia. The tissue is engineered with a nanofiber scaffold seeded with human heart cells. The scaffold acts like a 3D template, guiding the… Continue Reading A 3D model of a human heart ventricle

Virtual Surveyor has announced the sixth version of its drone-based surveying software suite, touting significant workflow and interface enhancements.
