The entire gamut of capabilities goes all the way from simple stress analysis to more complex thermal, vibration, fatigue, linear/non-linear structural testing, dynamics and fluid flow simulation. The results of the analysis can then be utilized to drive important design changes that can save tens of thousands of dollars in the design process, cut short product development time, and help avoid field failures. The goal of the webinar (details listed below) is to address this new offering from 3DVision Technologies. Key topics that will be covered include: WHY Why is 3DVision launching a Simulation Services Offering? WHAT What are the core specialties offered by this division? What is to be expected in terms of services? WHO Who would want to utilize these services? Who would be involved in the services? WHEN When can I start utilizing the services offered? HOW How can I leverage these services for better product development? How can I reach out to access these services?   To sign up for the webinar, please click here. Visualizing the Path to Innovation in Design with SolidWorks   By standardizing on the SolidWorks 3D design platform, leading contact lens designers and one of the most respected healthcare brands in the world, Bausch & Lomb, have positioned themselves to achieve innovative breakthroughs in lens performance and wearer comfort.   To learn how they did it, click here for the free case study. From Doodle to Prototype   With his high school math teacher’s voice in the background, co-founder Tyler Tiberius spent class time doodling in his notebook rather than paying attention to the difference between 'sine' and 'cosine.' "I had no idea one of my doodles would evolve into an innovative paintball gun design and the launch of Tiberius Arms," Tyler says. The purchase of a uPrint 3D Printer allowed them to see prototypes from conceptual design to physical model in durable ABS plastic before committing to the high cost of producing the product in metal. The result? Better looking, better working parts and improved product appeal.   Click here to read the whole story. For more information on Dimension 3D Printers, click here.
