IBM today announced that Honda R&D is monitoring and analyzing data from more than 160 sensors in Formula One (F1) cars using IBM Watson Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Now, drivers and crews can apply data and analytics in real-time to help streamline performance and improve fuel efficiency, enabling drivers to make real-time racing decisions based on this data, such as speed adjustments and pit stops. The exciting world of motorsports has brought entertainment to fans worldwide for almost 100 years, and is known for the split-second reactions by drivers that make or break the race. After a race, engineers would pull data, including timing and fuel flow, from the vehicle to adjust racing strategies for the next race. But today, the sport has evolved to one that is highly data driven with drivers always being connected. Now, racing teams can analyze fast streaming vehicle and driver data to adjust racing strategies

Members of the LIGHT project consortium will share their findings from the two-year project on the design of parts for metal additive manufacturing (AM) at a dissemination event at the Bloodhound SSC Technical Centre in Bristol on 26th April. With a mission to inspire new design freedoms and find new solutions for the additive manufacturing (AM) of lightweight metal parts, the LIGHT project, which is supported by Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation agency, aims to implement and validate CADCAM solutions for lightweight components being 3D printed from metals.  In particular, LIGHT has investigated the use of novel low-density lattice structures to support overhanging geometries and so prevent deformation during printing. The design freedom offered by AM coupled with the promise of tool-less manufacturing, is compelling.  However, additively manufacturing complex parts with overhanging geometries requires the use of sacrificial support structures to hold the part during the build.  While necessary, these

For years, product designers have been anchored to their offices, forced to use a desktop workstation powerful enough to handle the compute-intensive calculations and graphics for 3D solid modeling. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) users who wanted to work on their mobile devices were out of luck; their phones and tablets could only serve as glorified viewers. Today, however, engineers and designers are free to work wherever they please. Onshape, the first full-cloud professional 3D CAD system to run on mobile devices, has developed its iOS app specifically with iPad Pro and Apple Pencil in mind. Precision is critical in product design as every 3D model will eventually be manufactured. Onshape's new "Force Zoom" feature takes advantage of the pressure-sensitive Apple Pencil, which can isolate even a single pixel. When CAD users want to select a particular piece of 3D geometry, applying pressure to Pencil will zoom in and enlarge smaller features. The harder
