ASTROPHYSICISTS have created a “time machine” simulation that allows them to watch distant “galaxy cities” forming. The simulations can recreate the life cycle of galaxies observed in the distant ...

The capabilities of simulation software have developed rapidly over the past few years and underpin some of the more exciting possibilities in automation, including the industrial metaverse. But there ...

The Monte Carlo simulation estimates the probability of different outcomes in a process that cannot easily be predicted because of the potential for random variables.

A "simulation of the universe" has been created by scientists with realistic galaxies in a bid to study 14 billion years of history. In a joint project between Universities of Leiden in the ...

This third installment in the golf putter design series moves the process from reverse engineering and additive manufacturing to CAD/CAM software. Turning attention to the role of CAD/CAM software in ...

In the last decade, an exciting dynamic is propelling manufacturing towards 3D printing, or additive manufacturing (AM), writes Bill Davis of Siemens Digital Industries Software, discussing the ...

The digital twin represents the full machining environment in a digital space, including the workpiece, stock, fixtures and cutting tools. The more complex a machine tool is, the more value can be ...

Can small shops succeed with advanced machine tools and software? If so, how do they do it? Read on to learn the strategies that have helped Midway Swiss Turn, our 2025 Top Shops Honoree in Shopfloor ...

Elon Musk and others find it plausible that our experiences result from events in a computer simulation, just like the characters in the Matrix movies. An alternative view, supported by both common ...
