…you to create such automation require a lot of programming and scripting. That increases the cost of implementing democratization, and makes it challenging to maintain. “The goal is not to democratize simulation for the sake of broader use of simulation, but to enable more informed design decisions throughout the entire design process by leveraging simulation early and often.” — Joe Walsh, the ASSESS Initiative Automation doesn’t mean that someone has to be able to run the simulation. It can be software that runs the automated simulation. There are strategic initiatives like simulating digital twins or additive manufacturing processes, and the…

…motion system called UltiMotion. The control helps support many programming methods: conversational programming; NC programming; and a Hurco-specific feature called NC/Conversational Merge that optimizes efficiency. Additionally, the Hurco control’s technical specifications feature 4GB RAM, 128GB solid-state drive and 10,000 block look ahead. UltiMotion is the motion control system invented by Hurco that reduces cycle time and improves surface finish quality by determining the optimal trajectory to run the tool, providing consistent programmed feed rates, the company notes. With up to 10,000 blocks of dynamic variable look ahead, UltiMotion can adapt as required by the tool path and achieves fast cornering…

…everything we buy.” Blacksmith is an AI-powered software that makes manufacturing machines self-aware so they can automatically adjust their programming when producing parts. The software analyzes a design, compares it to the part scanned by inspection equipment, and dynamically adapts the end-to-end process to produce in-spec parts. This technology is said to be an example of adaptive manufacturing. Sources: Press materials received from the company and additional information gleaned from the company’s website.

…in how the processing element is programmed. Flexible application programming interfaces (APIs) simplify deploying and optimizing ML models on diverse hardware, especially those models built on different frameworks, such as TensorFlow, Caffe and Pytorch. One of the biggest trade-offs a designer must make is the decision to use a fixed accelerator or a programmable one. A case may be made for one over the other, depending on the segment. “But for the hundreds of thousands of applications in small, energy-constrained devices, it’s best to have programmability along with any accelerator in order to target the many applications of IoT,” says…

…“makes manufacturing machines ‘aware’ so they can automatically adjust programming to ensure every part is produced as designed.” The initial release of Blacksmith will work with selected Markforged metal 3D printers. The long-term goal is for Blacksmith to be compatible with all manufacturing machines, not just 3D printers. Starting with Markforged’s Metal X and X7 3D printers, Blacksmith will create a continuous feedback loop to make 3D printed parts more accurate. Markforged says the intelligent software “massively cuts waste and accelerates time to market” by analyzing a design, comparing it to the scanned part, and then automatically adapting the end-to-end…
