Increasingly, engineering organizations are distinguishing between concept design and detailed design activities. By creating a Release-to-CAD milestone before committing to detailed design, engineers are fostering innovation, lowering product development costs, getting to market faster, and creating higher quality products. In this white paper, Chad Jackson, President of Lifecycle Insights investigates Release-to-CAD and the technological and cultural shifts that enable it.

3M improves its Design Process and Gains Manufacturing Confidence with Objet 3D Printing. 3M was facing a rapid increase in design projects. This required a more systematic and streamlined approach to the design, review and verification of new products, prior to molding and manufacturing. Therefore, instead of outsourcing their projects they decided to bring 3D printing in house.

Product engineering organizations face the incredible challenge of ever shrinking market windows for innovation. These opportunities if missed, can lead to huge costs and overwhelming complexity, compromising quality leading to very expensive recalls. This paper examines the challenges associated with connecting models and simulations to the greater development lifecycle and how the solution offered by combining Integrity, a PTC product, with modeling environments and integrating model driven development with engineering processes allows organizations to increase the quality of their products while reducing the amount of time and effort needed to deliver those products.

Controlling CO, HC, PM traditionally required a combination of a DOC and a CDPF, two devices that together yielded sufficient emissions and soot reduction on diesel engines. These systems often require paper filters and expensive controls for the combustion processes utilized for maximizing the emissions reductions. Now, AirFlow Catalyst Systems is reinventing emissions control with technology that eliminates the need for separate systems and delivers a single system to maximize emissions control without paper filters, in less space, and without expensive control equipment. Low temperature efficiency and less maintenenace / downtime are other significant benefits.
