3D scanning possible with simple webcam
 
3D scanning possible with simple webcam New software has been announced that can trqansform an every day webcam into an instant 3D scanner.

The software, ProFORMA (Probabilistic Feature based Online Rapid Model Acquisition), was written by a team of developers at the Department of Engineering at Cambridge University. It allows users to rotate any object in front of a camera, which is then scanned in real time and built into a 3D texture mapped model. The 3D image is generated as the input sequence is being collected and, once scanned, ... More

Simulators provide physical link to virtual analysis
 
Simulators provide physical link to virtual analysis Far from being fun rides, simulators are increasingly being used for serious engineering, particularly to assess vehicle dynamics. Justin Cunningham reports

Design engineers face constant pressure to develop better products in less time with less cost. In general, the challenge has been well met, particularly within big industry sectors such as automotive, where development time for a new car can be as short as 12 to 18 months. But it is a trend seen throughout most industries as firms look to ... More
