Are you ready to design a "molecular" machine? Software that is a distant cousin of conventional solidmodeling packages may turn today's designers into molecular engineers. The future of technology is ...

In some ways, it's the CAD industry's version of thoseage-old debates, like the one over Coke vs. Pepsi, or republican vs. democrat.As the discourse heats up over the merits of traditional parametric, ...

For decades, computer-aided design (CAD) has been the cornerstone of modern engineering. Yet much of the workflow still relies on manual repetition, rigid processes and human interpretation. Engineers ...

Recognizing the limits of traditional CAD for creating and controlling highly complex designs, a new effort has been launched to combine 3D modeling, simulation, and manufacturing processes into one ...

Use AutoCAD's "Extrude" and "Revolve" commands to turn 2-D designs into 3-D models. "Extrude" is how 3-D modelers to refer to the technique of stretching a 2-D shape into 3-D space. AutoCAD performs ...

Considering all of the projects the Raspberry Pi is used for now, the fact that it was originally envisioned to be an educational tool is sometimes forgotten. One of the tools commonly available with ...

The key to quick, efficient CAD modeling is to have a solid library of CAD blocks - pre-prepared sets of common objects and details that you can simply drop into your drawing as and when they are ...
