...The Transition from 2D Drafting to 3D Modeling Benchmark Report Improving Engineering Efficiency September 2006 — Underwritten, in Part, by — The Transition from 2D Drafting to 3D Modeling Benchmark Report Executive Summary D o more with less. The mandate hasn’t changed for manufacturers. They must develop more products with increasing complexity to address customer and competitive pressures. Yet, there’s no “give” in project timelines to adopt new technologies like 3D modeling to help them win. However, some manufacturers are not only adopting 3D modeling technology, but excelling at hitting their product development targets at the same time. How is it possible? Interestingly enough, it’s actually quite simple. Key Business Value Findings • Best in class manufacturers their hit revenue, cost, launch date, and quality targets for 84% or more of their products. • Best in class performers typically produce 1.4 fewer prototypes than average performers. • Best in class performers average 6.1 fewer change orders than laggard performers. • In total, best in class manufacturers of the most complex products get to market 99 days earlier with $50, 637 lower product development costs. Implications & Analysis How do they do it? • Best in class performers are 40% more likely to have engineers use CAD directly to ensure they stay close to the design. • Best in class performers are 24% more likely to take advantage of extended 3D modeling design capabilities. They are 55%...

...expense, huge amounts of inexpensive products can be supplied in the domestic market. Considering this situation, competitiveness in cost and quality continue to be key issues for textile manufacturers. In order to significantly reduce time and cost in the supply chain, the industry needed to become more focused on consumers by developing a supply chain management process that would be demand driven and production that would be synchronized to replenish product at the consumer's pull rate (Lovejoy 2001). Today, consumers desire to personalize the style, fit and color of the clothes they buy, and require high-quality customized products at low prices with faster delivery (Lee & Chen 1999). New manufacturing technologies such as 3D body scanners, CAD/CAM systems, and digital textile printers have played a key role in increasing the effectiveness, flexibility, agility, and precision of production. Garment Industry Information Technology Upgrades Garment manufacturing technology should be understood as the traditional manufacturing technology, information technology, computer technology, automation technology and scientific management of advanced technology integrated multi-disciplinary and applied to garment manufacturing engineering,...

...Product Design 3D printing can help bring better products to market faster By Stratasys Inc. What is 3D printing? The terms “3D printing” and “additive manufacturing” refer to processes that automatically build objects layer by layer from computer data. The technology is already well-used in many sectors including transportation, health care, military and education. Uses include building concept models, functional prototypes, factory tooling (such as molds and robot-arm ends), and even finished goods (such as aircraft internal components). The aerospace and medical industries in particular have developed advanced applications for 3D printing. 3D printing is sometimes referred to as “rapid prototyping,” but this term does not encompass all current uses for the technology. Materials used in 3D printing include resins, plastics and, in some cases, metal. 3D PRINTER Since 3D printing’s inception, system reliability and model quality have increased, resulting in diverse applications. At the same time, prices have gone down to the point where some systems are affordable even for small businesses. In a 2011 report, Wohlers Associates predicted that worldwide annual sales of additive manufacturing systems will reach 15,000 units by 2015 — more than double the 2010 rate. Lower-priced professional systems will drive most of this growth.1 In FDM Technology™, printer software on the user’s Windows network or workstation accepts computer-aided design (CAD) data in major 3D file formats...

...Z Corporation 3D Printing Technology Fast, Affordable and Uniquely Versatile Introduction Originally developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1993, ThreeDimensional Printing technology (3DP™) forms the basis of Z Corporation’s prototyping process. 3DP technology creates 3D physical prototypes by solidifying layers of deposited powder using a liquid binder. By definition 3DP is an extremely versatile and rapid process accommodating geometry of varying complexity in hundreds of different applications, and supporting many types of materials. Z Corp. pioneered the commercial use of 3DP technology, developing 3D printers that leading manufacturers use to produce early concept models and product prototypes. Utilizing 3DP technology, Z Corp. has developed 3D printers that operate at unprecedented speeds, extremely low costs, and within a broad range of applications. This paper describes the core technology and its related applications. How does Z Corp.’s technology work? Source Data Z Corp.’s 3D printing technology leverages 3D source data, which often takes the form of computer-aided design (CAD) models. Mechanical CAD software packages, the first applications to create 3D data, have quickly become the standard for nearly all product development processes. Other industries such as architectural design have also embraced 3D technologies because of the overwhelming advantages they provide, including improved visualization, greater automation, and more...

...How Can Canada Improve EMR Adoption? Abstract EMR is a client’s medical record in electronic form in a physician’s office. The following paper focuses on barriers of EMR implementation in Canada and what should Canada learn from New Zealand, UK and Denmark. Cost, provincial requirement for vendors, lack og belief in EMR are identified barriers. Even though encouragement from government, adoption rate is less in Canada. How Can Canada Improve EMR Adoption? According to Wikipedia, Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is computerized medical record created in an organization that delivers care, such as a hospital or physician's office. Although Canada is considered urbanized nation, it is far behind in implementation of EMR when compared to UK, New Zealand and Denmark. This paper will discuss how these countries have successfully established EMR systems, what are the barriers in Canada and recommendations for EMR implementation in Canada. Although EMR and EHR (Electronic Health Record) are often used interchangeably, there is a significant difference. EMR is a client’s medical record in a particular physician’s office while EHR is information accessible by many health professionals over a wide geographic area. EMR system established at large number of offices across the provinces will aid in building nationwide central EHR system. Such universally accessible system is highly desirable to reduce cost of care delivery, reduce duplicated test, reduce time taken between laboratory...

...Alfred J Haines Eng 215 Dr. Melissa Olt Research Paper Dec. 18, 2011 Abstract The Man Machine Love-Hate relationship is examined and the eventual blending of the two to create an augmented form of reality. The problems with such a task are not only with the hardware but with the Human sense of spiritual bonding to the past. A past imbued with fear, pain and hardship, a meta-ethnic past that some long for and believe to have been a simpler time. The Personal Computer will someday become an invisible extension of our minds with no peripherals nor external hardware to obstruct the users from achieving their creative goals. From its beginning mechanical computers have frightened Humans who believed that they would be replaced by these thinking machines. The human beings mechanical mobility has evolved out of our spirits need to interact with the universe and the next step, the one that frees mankind from physical limitations will be the use of machines that will be ubiquitous, in effect, working as natural extensions of the body. The continuous innovations in electronics are making more and more components ubiquitous. The convergence of man and machine requires that computers become an integral part of the human body. The hurdles are many and those in opposition of such a world are afraid that these changes can only come about with the sacrifice of the soul. The last huddle that will stand in mans way of a true Man-Machine interface may well be one of posed by the...
