Design and CAD
Many of the major advances we have made in recent times have a lot to owe to the power that today's modern design and CAD systems offer us engineers. Today we live in an exciting world where are are almost limited only by what we can imagine.

There’s a joke e-mail that seems to circulate on the Web every eight months or so.
It includes images of outrageous design blunders , like a surveillance camera mounted behind and pointing at the back of the monitor it feeds. Or there’s a picture of a faucet that’s about six inches away from the sink into which the water should fall. There’s another of a man using an automatic teller machine that’s about nine feet above the ground. |

“If nature didn’t make it, one of our customers almost certainly did,” says Autodesk Gallery Senior Manger Jason Medal-Katz. As I toured Autodesk’s fascinating mini-museum with him, I began to believe Medal-Katz was right. More than 20 exhibits—ranging from a Ford Shelby GT500 to an 8.5-foot dinosaur made from more than 62,000 LEGOs—represent the diverse range of products designed with Autodesk software. |

Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) is a term that came into being some 30-40 years ago. In any product development ranging from the technically sophisticated planes and cars to the very mundane toothbrush, there is a design phase and a validation phase, where physical prototypes are built and tested in real conditions. |

New products typically go through several prototypes—in the case of cars, even up to 100—before a market launch. But if the emerging concept of virtual product design or computer-aided engineering, or CAE, has its way, companies could leapfrog to the final stages by simulating most of the product development and manufacturing processes in the virtual environment.

Scottish scientists using special software have managed to reconstruct an ancient brass instrument called the lituus.
The trumpet-like instrument, which had been played in Ancient Roman times, fell out of use more than 300 years ago.
Now, researchers at the University of Edinburgh along with the U.K.'s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) have collaborated to produce the instrument.
Alistair Braden, a PhD student at the university, and his supervisor Prof. Murray Campbell, had been approached by the Swiss-based Schola Cantorum Basiliensis (SCB) to recreate the lituus. The SCB is a conservatory that focuses on early music. |

At first glance , it might not appear particularly high-tech. But this mundane looking piece of equipment is the first of amazing 3-D printers that could revolutionize the way engineers and designers develop new products or improve on existing ones.
Fairfield University School of Engineering unveiled its Object Geometries Eden 250 3-D printer this January that produces high resolution, three-dimensional models of designs. |

Not a new article - but worth a second look
Three-dimensional modeling and work cell simulation are providing real benefits today. Automotive OEMs and aerospace firms are pushing for more functionality, and demanding their suppliers join in the pursuit. Machine builders and systems integrators are seeing how 3D production-line simulations can help them win the next job and deliver it faster. But early adopters want more, and smaller companies want a piece of the action. All are being asked to be more flexible and efficient than ever before, and they’re looking to integrated software to help them do that. PLM software vendors are racing to respond. |

The engineer is holding his breath. Beside him, the project manager grimaces. A dozen Emerson employees, all in khaki pants and button-down shirts, are gathered -- silent and expectant -- around their teacher as he squints at their creations. Back in their real roles, making aerospace controls or medical machinery or marine valves at the $24.8 billion St. Louis-based manufacturer, these people are not often met with bewilderment. But then, they rarely bring raw ideas to consumers either. |

EU-funded researchers have developed an innovative semantic engineering environment that will help product designers increase their productivity while saving time. The SevenPro ('Semantic virtual engineering environment for product design') project, backed by the EU with more than EUR 2.6 million in financing, targeted technology and tool development to support deep mining of product engineering knowledge from multimedia repositories and semantically enhanced 3D interaction. |

I've mentioned the Homebrew Robotics Club here a few times. The club has an active mailing list. And when I found myself writing a lengthy post there over the weekend, I figured it might be of interest to the wider audience.
The post was in response to this inquiry from club president Wayne C. Gramlich, included here with his permission:
Can anybody point me a book that goes into design issues associated with assembling mechanisms out of bearings, axles, and gears? I'm looking for pretty basic stuff, like when to use a ball bearing, where to place bearings on a shaft, how to attach things to a shaft, etc. I am not interested in a book that tells me how to design a gear (or bearing), I just want to purchase those off the shelf.
