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.

When a 30-year-old aircraft arrivesin the hangar for retrofitting or repair, the more information engineers have the better.
That's why Texas-based aviation services company M7 Aerospace is now offering a new service to create precise, three-dimensional portraits of entire planes down to one-thousandth of an inch. To execute the job, M7 purchased a Z Corporation ZScanner® 700 PX, the world's only handheld laser scanner that precision-scans large objects such as aircraft and automobiles -- items that previously have been too big to capture by hand. |

The desktop fan , costing £200, has won plaudits both in Britain and America for its sleek design and clever engineering. The Air Multiplier works by sucking in air at the base, and pushing it out at speed through a thin gap in the fan's ring, meaning there are no visible blades in the fan.
However, documents indicate that a Japanese company, Tokyo Shibaura Electric, developed a nearly identical bladeless desktop fan in 1981.

In mid-September , on schedule and to strong reviews, Ford unveiled the new Super Duty pickup—powered by Project Scorpion's engine—at the Texas State Fair. Gryglak had shown that the classic skunkworks model pioneered by Lockheed Martin (LMT) in the 1930s could help Ford protect its flank, in this case the highly lucrative market for contractor-grade pickup trucks. "We have a good product-development system," Gryglak says. "The key was to respect what we have and the people who run it, deconstruct it a bit, and make it better to suit our target."

Over the past 50 years Britain has moved to not only embrace but also to export and celebrate contemporary design. There have been many standard bearers and champions: curators, journalists, shop-owners, the Design Council, and not least the designers themselves. There is, however, one particularly significant advocate, a man who rails against poorly designed consumer goods, who has acted as a catalyst between industry and designers, and who has a rare perspective on half a century of British culture, promoting engineering and industrial design as much as graphics, and automotive and product styling: the Duke of Edinburgh.

Ford Motor Co . said Friday that its new EcoBoost gasoline direct injection turbocharged engine technology adds 125 United States patents and patent applications to Ford's 4,618 active patents.
EcoBoost patents involve powertrain management and the proprietary methods Ford uses to eliminate 'turbo lag,' the tendency for a mometary lapse in acceleration required for the turbocharger to spin up and begin contributing its share of engine power. |

MooBella was having no trouble finding people willing to try out its make-your-own ice cream machines last week at MIT. If only designing market-ready versions of the machines—which are now more than a decade in the making—were as easy. Xconomy got the inside scoop recently on how MooBella has spent the last couple of years reengineering the machines to overcome some major design and functionality flaws that have blocked the commercial rollout of the ice cream factories on wheels.

TWO inventors based in Coventry, UK are set to play a key role in the next generation of “intelligent tyres” after developing a new way to harvest power.
Geoff Haswell and Malcolm Caley have spent five years researching and developing a new power source for tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) that uses the world’s first proven piezo power source devised from a simple ceramic disc. |
