In the early days of the semiconductor industry, integrated circuits were designed by one or two engineers with slide-rules, hand-drawn on paper, and then given to a lithographer to print onto silicon ...

Computer-aided designs, such as this model of a fingertip-sized heart pump, can reduce the number of physical prototypes that must be made. Computer-aided design (CAD) is a tool intended to facilitate ...

The aerospace and electronics industries have long applied computational models to not only design airplanes and chips, but also to simulate and optimize their performance. There have, until recently, ...

Product development cycles have decreased considerably with the growing use of Computer-Aided Design (CAD). Solid modeling used with approaches such as mechanical simulation and finite element ...

The technology behind 3-D printing is growing more and more common, but the ability to create designs for it is not. Any but the simplest designs require expertise with computer-aided design (CAD) ...

GANDERBAL: With an aim to blend tradition with technology, the Design Innovation Centre (DIC), Central University of Kashmir (CUKashmir), Wednesday started a 10-day workshop on “Computer-Aided Design ...

In mid-November architects, designers, digital fabricators, and innovators will gather in Calgary, Canada, and at the Banff Centre for the annual Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture ...
