Hexagon has announced a new battery cell design solution that combines Fraunhofer ITWM’s electro-chemical simulation technology with Hexagon’s multi-physics material simulation and metrology software to significantly accelerate new battery cell research and development programmes.  Bringing a new battery cell product to market is hugely complex and time-consuming. R&D processes are lengthy, comprising design of experiments (DoE) using first-principles simulations to discover new electrochemical designs, which are tested through physical trial-and-error in a laboratory. There are many steps in the cell manufacturing process that can affect not only the rejection rate, but also the performance of the cell.  Hexagon’s new electro-chemical battery design solution integrates Fraunhofer ITWM’s Battery and Electrochemistry Simulation Tool (BEST) solver within Hexagon’s Digital Materials suite, enabling efficient multi-physics exploration of cell designs while accounting for effects from manufacturing processes.  This “virtual laboratory” has significant cost and productivity benefits. Through a single user interface, customers can model the microstructure of the

In a breakthrough collaborative project, a team of experts from Tel Aviv Medical Center, PTC, and Hexagon has created a breakthrough fully customized scapula implant for a 16-year-old cancer patient. The team utilized state-of-the-art additive manufacturing and medical imaging to design and produce a titanium scapula implant tailored precisely to the patient’s anatomy. The experts conducted a 3D segmentation of the tumor and surrounding bone to facilitate effective reconstruction. A digital twin of the anatomical model was created and printed at a 1:1 scale to assist in preoperative planning and to delineate the resection margins. Concurrently, an advanced custom 3D-printed implant was designed using PTC Creo software to provide anchorage for the remaining muscle stumps and to reconstruct the glenohumeral and acromioclavicular joints. The surgery proceeded as planned, the personalized implant fit seamlessly, and the patient began regaining mobility within a few days. Essential requirements and challenges for the implant design included: Preservation of
