Make Better Prototypes Faster
Jamie Brettle Embedded Software Product Manager National Instruments Today, a key task for innovators is to test and validate ideas quickly, and beat your competition to market. The Internet enables us to easily share data and connect with others using text, image, music and video. Each year, as bandwidth and computing power increase and networks become more available, sharing ideas becomes easier, faster and cheaper. As ideas are so freely transmitted, we are presented with more ideas than we, as engineers, could possibly come up with on our own. But turning ideas into reality is where the cost comes in - and it ...
University Uses CAD to Develop Cars for Blind Drivers
by Laura Carrabine, Senior Editor For many, driving is one of life’s pleasures. Tooling the nation’s roadways takes us to work, vacation spots, business and personal appointments. We’d be lost without our vehicles. For the blind, however, driving is one of life’s missed conveniences.Blind drivers have been trying out a prototype vehicle that is specially outfitted with devices to help them navigate. Students at Virginia Tech used SolidWorks software to design various parts of the car. That could change because students at Virginia Tech are working to help blind drivers “see” with their hands and ears. Kimberly Wenger, senior and student ...
