Design World editor Miles Budimir talks with Peter Dettmer of Madison Technical College about making manufacturing an attractive education option.

Additive manufacturing with metals is a popular subject. A lot of work still needs to be done before we will see additive machines alongside CNC machines and injection molding systems in the average manufacturing facility. Part of the issue is that engineers need good information on how additively made metal parts will perform in an application. This conversation with Frank Herzog, Founder, Presid...

How are power circuit designers making use of computerized fluid dynamics in dealing with heat problems? John Parry, Electronics Industry Manager at the Mentor Graphics Mechanical Analysis Div., talks about how much designers need to know about CFD to get useful results, the accuracy of new "simplified" CFD methods, what happens when CFD packages must work with different kinds of CAD models, and m...
