The present invention relates generally to wind tunnel models. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a wind tunnel model design using rapid prototype components and a reinforcing strongback. Whether an airframe is a new design, modification of an existing design, or evaluation of a competing or foreign design, an accurate, high-confidence representation of the airframe aerodynamics is paramount to any low-risk design or evaluation effort. These aerodynamic estimates are used for vehicle and component sizing, performance estimates, and autopilot design and evaluation. The only accepted method of obtaining the high fidelity aerodynamics data needed for these purposes is to build and test a scale model of the airframe in a wind tunnel. Most wind tunnel models are fabricated of all metal components using Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) milling machines. The dimensional accuracy, surface finish and strength of such all-metal models have a distinguished history of providing high fidelity aerodynamics data for both subsonic and supersonic aircraft and rocket designs. However, the fabrication of all-metal wind tunnel models is very expensive and time consuming. Following is a brief summary of the wind tunnel model construction process and of prior art attempts at reducing the costs and time invested in such models. A typical aircraft development program usually needs at least four to five wind tunnel models to adequately test the aerodynamics of a new airframe. The models are generally made of aluminum (for lightly stressed components) or steel (for highly stressed components) and are sculpted using 3 to 5 axis CNC milling machines. The models can require months to manufacture and are often made by small high technology companies that specialize in wind tunnel model manufacture. Wind tunnel models are generally supported in a wind tunnel by a positioning device that is often referred to as a sting. The rear portion of a model is usually hollow to allow the sting to penetrate the model body without affecting the aerodynamic properties of the model. A force transducer called a balance is attached to the inside of the model in order to measure forces and moments acting on the model (often measuring all six degrees of freedom: drag, sideforce, lift, roll, pitch and yaw). The sting is rigidly fixed to the balance and all lead wires from the balance and any other control lines or strain gage leads from the model are routed inside or along the sting and back to the control room of the wind tunnel facility. The cost of fabricating and instrumenting a typical wind tunnel model is on the order of 0,000; however, complex models that include engine simulators, remote controlled control surfaces, numerous rows of pressure taps, etc., can cost over ,000,000. Companies that are able to reduce the time and costs associated with wind tunnel models therefore stand to gain a significant competitive advantage. For several years Rapid Prototype (RP) materials and methods have been considered as a potential source of improvements to conventional wind tunnel models. RP parts can generally be made much more rapidly and less expensively than conventional machined parts. RP manufacturing is a field of high technology concerning the generation of three-dimensional solids using particles or layers of mostly polymeric materials. Two of the most popular RP techniques include stereolithography (SLA.RTM.) and fused deposition modeling (FDM.RTM.). Both techniques build solid objects layer-by-layer based on data from a computer aided design (CAD) software program. SLA.RTM. equipment is manufactured by 3D Systems, Inc. of Valencia Calif. and employs a laser beam to selectively solidify the surface layer of a photopolymer resin. The solidified surface layer forms a cross section of the prototype part. A supporting table then lowers the part several thousandths of an inch into the resin and the laser solidifies the next layer. These and other objects are achieved in the present invention in a wind tunnel model including a strongback, made of a rigid material and having an exterior axial surface, the strongback being designed to be supported by a balance. The strongback is at least partially inside the interior volume of a jacket section that is made of a rapid prototype (RP) material. The exterior axial surface of the strongback engages an interior axial surface of the jacket section, and the exterior surface of the jacket section defines at least part of an aerodynamic surface. The techniques of the present invention are applicable to any wind tunnel model design intended for use with a balance for measuring forces and moments applied to the model. This includes aircraft such as planes, rockets and missiles as well as ground based vehicles such as high-speed racecars. Other objects and advantages of the invention will become more fully apparent from the following more detailed description and the appended drawings that illustrate in detail one embodiment of the invention. In the following description, all like reference numerals refer to like elements.

We have come a long way since wooden barrels and woven bags were used as packaging for products. Globally the packaging industry is worth over 0 billion, with companies actively investing their resources into new product development and packaging design innovation to drive growth within their industry and increase their market share.

Packaging often offers one of the last opportunities to influence the purchasing decisions of consumers in a store setting, therefore on a basic level, the better the packaging, the greater the chance that consumers will buy your product.

Effective packaging should:

* Generate visibility and consideration for your product (above others) at retail outlets;

* Help shoppers to select the right product/variety/brand easily;

* Communicate key product information, product benefits and directions for use;

* Generate purchase (and interest in future purchases);

* Generate an emotional appeal to the client, so they search out your brand, and become loyal to the brand.

Glazer+Kalayjian has almost 30 years of experience serving the packaging, marketing and branding design needs of clients globally, through an array of services that support and simplify the design, creation and execution of consumer brands worldwide. We are adept at creatively developing and executing a wide range of end-to-end solutions, whether it is for a new product launch or a re-packaging exercise, that will work in harmony with the brand, and create synergy with your brand strategy.

Services available to our clients include:

Design Research and Trend Watching:

Glazer+Kalayjian frequently meets with partners from around the world to discuss, trends, forecasts, and compare learning and business solutions. Clients benefit from the wealth of shared knowledge from different countries and cultures around the world. We can watch trends developing and emerging in different markets around the globe, and evaluate them on a local and international level, long before deciding whether to implement them in local and/or global markets.

Strategy:

At Glazer+Kalayjian, we think your brand name should not only create new logos, but also new markets. Using our organization, creative thinking, customer research and our R&D initiatives we want to steer your company ahead of the pack. As a result, every Glazer+Kalayjian project begins by stimulating discussions between your client, the market place, the distributor, and the consumer.

Idea Generation:

The best strategic packaging design solutions begin with a brainstorming or mind mapping session. Starting with a competitive analysis, background research, the client’s objectives and positioning strategy, we begin uncovering innovative solutions that solve any merchandising and point-of-sale issues and build brand equity.

Packaging Design and 3D Modeling:

Our packaging and modeling teams offer implementation and art preparation using state of the art digital technology.

Digital Keyline:

In the creation of a keyline, the art file speaks the details for each individual job. The ultimate goal is to attain design standards and colors specific to each brand.

Production Art:

Creating production art from design files requires the adjustment of files to match the desired printed outcome. During this process, we work with rounds of color exploration and design adjustments.

Photo Composition and Retouching:

We can digitally alter any image, including matching preexisting images or colors, or creating a new image from several separate images (composition).

Implementation and Roll-Out:

Often, we are charged with implementing a brand design strategy across many SKU’s. We are able to implement art across a line of products under the same brand architecture while holding true to the visual brand design specifications across different types of packaging.

File Preparation for Print:

We can prepare files for a large print runs, and ready master files for final separation and print. The final electronic files will include all the necessary data to ensure a successful print run. A member of staff is always present for on-press supervision, to review the project with the plant, check the samples, and to review the proofs.

Technical Drawings:

Using information from ideation and brainstorm sessions, our designers move into technical drawings to review feasibility, ergonomics and creativity of each idea. This stage allows us to test ideas, and our clients to visualize ideas as they take on 3D virtual forms. We can wrap any form with graphics and colors to create photorealistic visuals.

Mix 3-D with Reality:

Often, a client wants to use existing photography, but redesign packaging graphics. To solve this problem we would build a 3D model of the packaging and apply new graphics to the model. Next, we match camera angles and lighting of the original photo and produce the new image.

Rendering:

Rendering is the final step, where the computer processes all the data and takes a “virtual photograph” of it. The resulting image is produced as an Adobe Photoshop file that can be used across different platforms.

Technical Drawings:

Using information from our idea generation sessions, our designers create technical drawings. This stage allows us to test ideas and feasibility, and our clients to visualize the packaging as the ideas take on 3D forms, that can be wrapped with graphics and colors to create photorealistic visuals.

Comp Capabilities:

Our comp capabilities are unparalleled. From a simple box comp to large scale heros, our innovative techniques are the key to meeting any packaging prototype challenge. Our comps provide clients with an exact replica of their product packaging using custom colors and substrates. These packages are flawless and free of extraneous graphic elements that may detract from the brand message. Clients use our comps and mock-ups for:

* Design approval

* Packaging prototypes

* Hero packaging for advertising

* Sell-in to the trade

From concept to implementation and production, Glazer+Kalayjian offer services and solutions that are tailor-made to match the individual needs of each client, though strategic brand design and development and expert knowledge. Types of packaging we have produced for our clients include:

* Shrink-wrap or overwrap

* Transfers and Decals

* Boxes and Cartons

* Clamshells and Blisters

* Bags and Pouches

* Cans and Tubes

* Conical Shapes

* Cups and Tubs

* Displays/Point of Purchase

* Presentation Boards

* Oversize/Miniatures

Packaging Design Research:

Any new packaging design, or significant change in an existing package, should always be subjected to the scrutiny of objective feedback through a number of research methods. As marketers seek a return on investment from re-packaging initiatives, research becomes increasingly important. Research helps to evaluate packaging systems across different forms/structures and retail environments. What works in one retail outlet may not work in all. It is also valuable to speak with retail personnel, to understand the implications of alternative packaging structures on merchandising and retail presence, and evaluate point of sale materials and promotions. Some consumer goods clients find that it is worthwhile to conduct ethnographic research, to observe people transporting, using and storing packaging within their homes. Please contact us for your packaging design research needs.

From acclaimed director Alexandre Aja (“The Hills Have Eyes”) comes the new action thriller “Piranha 3D”, in the latest eye-popping 3D technology. A new type of terror is about to be cut loose on beautiful Lake Victoria. After a sudden underwater tremor sets free scores of the prehistoric man-eating fish, an unlikely group of strangers must band together to stop themselves from becoming fish food for the area’s new razor-toothed residents. But our heroine (Elisabeth Shue) is seriously outnumbered, and with only one chance to save the lake and her family from totally being devoured, she must risk everything to destroy the aquatic carnivores herself.

From director Alexandre Aja (“The Hills Have Eyes”) comes the new action thriller “Piranha.” Every year the population of sleepy Lake Victoria explodes from 5,000 to 50,000 for Spring Break; a riot of sun and drunken fun. But this year, there’s something more to worry about than hangovers and complaints from local old timers; A new type of terror is about to be cut loose on Lake Victoria. After a sudden underwater tremor sets free scores of the prehistoric man-eating fish, an unlikely group of strangers must band together to stop themselves from becoming fish food for the area’s new razor-toothed residents.

The first teaser trailer for Alexandre Aja’s Piranha 3D has hit the net.  While the trailer isn’t an official release as it was leaked onto YouTube, if you hit the jump fast enough, it might still be there.

The reason the teaser is online is it was attached to most prints of Youth in Revolt.  Since both films are being released by the Weinstein Company, movie audiences landed an early look and someone recorded it.  I figure an official release will happen either this weekend or on Monday.  So, as I said, watch this fast.  This movie looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun.

Piranha 3D stars Elisabeth Shue, Steven R. McQueen, Adam Scott, Ving Rhames, Richard Dreyfuss, Christopher Lloyd, Jerry O’Connell, Dina Meyer, Jessica Szohr and Riley Steele.

 

 

What is rapid prototyping software?
The activity of rapid prototyping software is an important part of software development. It is important to create prototypes of the software to test the software’s workings. These prototypes are actually incomplete versions of the software program that is underway in development.

How does rapid prototyping software work?
The main features of the software being prototyped are first looked at. In rapid prototyping software, the plastic mould prototype being developed does not perform the entire functional spectrum of the software, but only simulates some of the plastic mould aspects or features. The actual and eventual program may be very different from these simulations of it when it is actually implemented.

Why rapid prototyping software?
Conventionally, the purpose of rapid prototyping software is to let users of the eventual software an evaluation of the design proposals given by the developer. Users are allowed to actually try out the simulations so that they do not have to make an plastic mold evaluation decision based solely on descriptions of the program and can actually get a sense of it before making a judgment.

Many a times, there are requirements that developers have not thought about that users might actually find useful. rapid prototyping software allows users to bring this to the notice of the developers and therefore betters the commercial relationship between the client and solution providers.

Benefits of rapid prototyping rapid prototype software
1. The designer and implementer of the software get to obtain feedback directly from the users who would be using the final product. Therefore, he can customize it to be a success right from its inception and increase its probability of becoming a hit.
2. Clients can actually do a match of the rapid prototype software specifications they have provided with the software being developed and therefore any changes that need plastic mold to make can be done then itself.
3. The software engineer is given an opportunity to check on the accuracy of the initial project and whether planned deadlines and milestones can be achieved in time.
4. Since the 1970s, the techniques used in rapid prototyping software have been refined time after time to make them work with the efficiency that they do now.

Historically speaking
The process was present way back in the1960s itself. As can be assumed, the development cycle of an entire software program and its building was quite monolithic. Working out mismatches between the decided design, specifications and the finished implementable program would cause much waste of time, effort and money. This approach, also coined “Slaying the (software) Dragon” approach, puts all the pressure on the software designer who also then becomes the developer and he has to manage the entire “dragon” slaying by himself.

As time went by, easier methods to avoid these inconsistencies were found and therefore, saving cost rapid prototype , time and effort became possible. The finished software met not only the clients’ specifications but was able to modify itself to users’ benefit.

Design is a matter of balance between weight and strength, cost and quality, speed and accuracy. Prototyping is an important part of the designing process and presents the designer with multiple choices.

In plastic product design, technology has provided various prototyping options.

Rapid prototyping (RP) involves  stereolithography, selective laser sintering, fused deposition modeling, laminated object manufacturing, and three dimensional printing.  These processes build parts, one-by-one, from 3D-CAD models, joining layers of material to create the finished prototype.

Rapid tooling (RT) uses rapid prototyping to create the initial part and then creates, from that part, a mold in which additional parts can be made.

Another prototyping option is rapid injection molding (RIM), which works directly from a 3D-CAD model, using CNC mechanism to crush aluminum molds in which true injection-molded parts can be made.  Finally, there is conventional injection molding, which is used primarily for production, but can also be used to create prototypes.

Design Prototyping UK is now a specialized sector that seamlessly works to provide the latest and most advanced technologies for best plastic products to the firms in United Kingdom.

With its dynamic scalablity, flexibility and virtualized resources are provided as a service, Cloud Computing is seen as the dawn of a new era for application services and has received its fair share of plaudits.  With Google Documents, Flickr, Buzzword and Zoho as examples of general purpose applications that use Cloud Computing Technology it is only a matter of time before Cloud Computing is seen as the most viable option for application development and deployment.

 

With IT Giants such as Microsoft, Google and Amazon all vying for a position within the Cloud Computing space you’d expect there to be a plethora of Cloud based Software Applications  currently available.  Even though this is sure to be the case in the near future, at present Software Testing appears to be the current favoured use of Cloud environments.

 

A recent survey by Evans Data, an independent research firm that conducts periodic surveys of developers , found that of those using cloud facilities to run applications, 49.8% said they were doing so experimentally or for prototyping; 28.6% for non-critical business applications and 21.6% for business critical applications.  They see Cloud environments as being “good for testing because they can be set and torn down quickly, sometimes at less expense than on-premise facilities”. 

 

The question to answer then is what Software testing tools are available to aid developers and Quality Assurance individuals in their application development and testing procedures.  Software Testing tools that are used for testing of conventional applications are of little use when applied to Cloud Testing as there is a need for tools to allow Software developers and Tester to analyse the network, desktop and implications of changes within the Cloud.

 

A growing variety of Cloud based Open Source Software Testing Tools are being published.

 

Cloud Tools for example is a set of tools for deploying, managing and testing Java EE applications on Amazon’s Elastic Computing Cloud (EC2). Containing three main parts, which includes machine images that can be configured to run on Tomcat and Maven & Grails plug-in this is an amazing tool to use for Open source cloud software testing.

 

PushToTest TestMaker is a distributed test environment that can run tests on test equipment, or in a Cloud Computing environment.  It introducing specific commands to support automatic Cloud Testing services.

 

Cloud Tools and PushToTest Test Maker represent examples of products that will help shape the future of robust Cloud based Software Testing Applications.  Though the technology is in its infancy, a number of testing tools are emerging that can provide assistance in cloud based software testing.

A well planned and managed interior of a house is the key to make any house attractive. No house can be so effective unless it is equipped with mind blowing interior design. And to make it possible, it is quite wise to use 3D interior design and 3D interior models for making your house a dream house.

Now before starting, let’s know about what 3D interior design and 3D interior models are all about, how it can be so useful for interior designing of a house. 3D interior design – as its name suggests, can be defined as a set of pictorial representation of your house’s interior architecture. A set of architectural designs are produced that mention each technical specification about any house’s interior geometry.

Also visualized 3D architecture interiors rendering of residential buildings are covered in developing accurate 3D interior designs. Now talking about 3D interior models, these models are developed using a specialized technique called “3D Architectural Modeling”. This technique is about creating effective and efficient 3D models of any building types such as residential, commercial and industrial buildings.

Using this technique, a set of accurate 3D interior models of residential house are developed as per user’s specifications. These models are considered as templates of any house’s proposed architecture design. 3D interior models give an exact visualization of about how your house will look when it gets completed. As per these ideas, user will be quite aware about his house’s interior and can easily plan out his future activities to get the job done.

While creating such 3D interior models and 3D interior designs, custom furniture and fixtures required along with the texture and lighting specifications should be taken into consideration. Certain parts of a residential house like kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room should be well expressed and should be given more weightage while preparing precise 3D interior design and 3D interior models. Using them, one can surely make house interior better and effective.

So if you would like to get more information about 3D interior design and 3D interior models, then please contact us at: http://www.3drenderingindia.com/3d_interior.php or email us at: info@3drenderingindia.com

3D prototyping techniques are a group of procedures that can quickly produce a tangible model of a product by using 3D CAD software. Another name for 3D prototyping is rapid prototyping. This process will create a solid physical structure of the product instead of a 2D layout. The prototypes can be used in different ways. For example, a visible image of the product can be use for communication and marketing purposes. As well as, a visual representation of the product can be used for testing and diagnostic purposes, tooling and rapid manufacturing.

Rapid prototyping is made up of a few basic steps. The first step is creating a design model of the product by using computer aided design data. The next step involves converting the computer aided model design into a stereolithography form. The stereolithography form is chopped to develop a cross sectional model. This will create a constructed band and the band will be placed topmost of another band. The final step is a clean and finished model.

Rapid prototyping has six 3D prototyping techniques that involve a variety prototyping apparatuses. In addition, the prototype apparatuses are stereolithography, selective laser techniques, laminated object manufacturing, fused deposition models, three dinensional inkjet printing and solid ground curing.

Stereolithography is one of the first prototyping techniques. This technique uses liquid polymer which is photosensitive and solidifies with the use of an ultraviolet light. On the other hand, stereolithography is considered to be the standard of rapid prototyping techniques. In 1988, the stereolithography machine was built by 3D systems. One of the disadvantages of early stereolithography was that the model created from this method would produce a deformed and brittle model.

The laminated object manufacturing technique was created with the Helisys machine. The process involves taking adhesive sheets and layering the sheets to create a prototype. In addition, the laminated paper is put together with a sticky substance and put on a spool. Laminated paper was one of the first substances used with this technique.

Selective laser techniques are a method that was developed by Carl Deckard. Deckard created the method as a thesis project to complete his Master’s Degree. This method uses powdered metal, nylon and elastomer to make a solid object.

Fused modeling is a technique that makes use of ejected thermoplastic filaments. The thermoplastic filaments are heated from the end. The tip moves on an x and y field range.

The ground curing technique was developed by Cubital. Ground curing is similar to the stereolithography method. The technique involves using ultraviolets light that heats and harden the polymer. Solid ground curing and stereolithography is different because of the way the material hardens. The ground curing technique makes a complete layer of the product at a time.

The techniques make it possible to create a quick prototype to meet important deadlines. Furthermore, 3D prototyping techniques are a fast way for businesses to create models to promote their brand.

Porsche, Daimler, Honda and Audi have one thing in common when it comes to the production processes in their factories—the use of reverse engineering Faro. These automobile manufacturers are however not the only companies that make use of this technology from faro.

The Faro measurement systems are widely used, with an approximate user base of 10,000 customers all over the world. The term reverse engineering might remind one of espionage thanks to movies that have tackled the uses of reverse engineering to carefully study the workings of ammunition and devices for military advantage. While it is true that reverse engineering is used for spying not only in the military but also for commercial purposes, that’s maybe the more glamorous character of this process.

In reality, this is the process used to analyze in detail the workings of a system or a device. In the case of reverse engineering faro, it has something to do with the detailed analysis on the operation and function of software programs and company components. It is actually used for more practical reasons by companies that can not get their hands on software documentation, or they may have them but the documentation is blemished or lacking.

Reverse engineering faro may be too complex for the laymen but to make it more palatable, think of it as the process of going back to allow the human mind to understand the development cycle of software or a machine. This process is only meant for examination purposes only, and does not include modification of the software.

There are actually several reasons why reverse engineering faro is used including but not limited to:

Software does not have a source code
There is a source code but lacks proper documentation
Measurement of prototypes and devices
Recreation of missing prehistoric parts

Reverse engineering Faro is continuously used in the first case, when the software does not have a source code, but the concept can actually be used in a variety of industries. Take for example the reconstruction of some skeletal parts of a dinosaur displayed at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History. However, there should always be a diligent effort to avoid infringement of copyright when implementing the process.

Faro, a Nasdaq-listed company, has made available 3D measuring devices for companies that require reverse engineering for inventory documentation, historical site digital scanning, production planning and for the inspection of components and their assemblies.

A company that requires the verification or setting-up of systems, components and other measuring tasks can get a helping hand from reverse engineering Faro at any moment.
