The team are working hard to wrap up #MachineWorks 8.6 ... at least those that aren't on the beach already. We've created a few new simple code examples to demonstrate how to simulate some less common operations. Here's u-axis turning ... #CAM, #CNC #MachineTools

We should all want a better future for #ukmanufacturing...and to support that, there is an online petition for the UK Engineering and Manufacturing industry to get recognition and get a representative in Government. I urge people to sign it, get your colleague to sign it, share it at your industry events, share it online. If we get to 10,000 signatures, the UK Government will respond to the petition. https://lnkd.in/eRTPTRyV If we can get this debated in government, and get the politicians to acknowledge and support #ukmfg then we can truly become a powerhouse again. https://lnkd.in/eRTPTRyV

Mikros Technologies is your engineering ally in unlocking the true potential of the NVIDIA H100 through best-in-class liquid cooling solutions. Here's how Mikros caters specifically to engineers for the NVIDIA H100, ensuring optimal performance and efficient heat management: 🔍Precision in Cooling Technology:  Mikros provides chip designers with an industry leading liquid-cooled solution. Our patented direct-to-chip cooling solutions are engineered to the power map of the chip and its surrounding components, effectively managing the heat generated by powerful core die and memory chips. Our AX-H100 cold plate tailors the flow to the highest power concentration providing more cooling for the areas that require it. ⚙️ Compact Engineering, Efficient Heat Transfer:  Mikros' liquid-cooled solution, engineered with a small fraction of the heat sink's height, boasts a thinner profile, lower operating costs, and much more effective heat transfer. Cooling a 700 Watt chip (and more) in a 1U-drawer height requires engineering prowess, and that's precisely what we bring to the table.   📈 Ensuring Scalability in Manufacturing: At Mikros, we recognize the critical need to meet the growing power dissipation requirements and quantitative demand as the AI market continues to scale. As a trusted manufacturing partner based in New Hampshire, USA, we are committed to meeting the escalating demand. Our AX-H100 stands out as a fully brazed, leak-checked, and thermally tested solution that guarantees scalability. Our reliable cold plate technology has also endured rigorous testing, with a single unit operating seamlessly for over 20 years without performance degradation. Whether you require evaluation units or are ready for mass production, the AX-H100 is available to meet your current requirements. To learn more about our AX-H100 cold plate, view the data sheet here: https://lnkd.in/g94BbX3h To inquire about a custom solution for, contact us here: https://lnkd.in/gkRhVV82 #ai #gpu #h100 #nvidia #datacenter #liquidcooling #dlc #morepowertoyou

Friday Fun History of CAD/PLM/CAE History of Product Data Management PDM has undergone significant evolution over the years, particularly in the context of product design. Here's a breakdown from my research. Manual Systems (Pre-Computer Era): Before the advent of computers, product data management was done manually, involving physical documents, drawings, and filing systems. Changes were often cumbersome to track, leading to inefficiencies and errors. Early CAD Systems: With the introduction of CAD systems in the 1960s and 1970s, product data started to be managed digitally. However, early CAD systems lacked sophisticated PDM functionalities. Data management was limited to basic file storage and retrieval. Standalone PDM Systems: In the 1980s and 1990s, standalone PDM systems emerged as a solution to manage product data more effectively. These systems focused on version control, document management, and basic workflows. However, they were often isolated from other enterprise systems and lacked integration capabilities. Integrated Product Data Management: As businesses sought greater efficiency and collaboration across departments, IPDM systems emerged. These systems integrated PDM with other business processes such as ERP, CRM, and supply chain management. This integration enabled seamless data flow across the product lifecycle. Web-Based PDM: With the rise of the internet, web-based PDM systems became popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s. These systems offered accessibility from any location with an internet connection, facilitating collaboration among geographically dispersed teams. Cloud-Based PDM: In recent years, cloud-based PDM solutions have gained traction due to their scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. These systems leverage cloud infrastructure to provide on-demand access to data and applications, eliminating the need for extensive on-premises infrastructure. PDM with Digital Twin Integration: The concept of the digital twin, which is a virtual representation of a physical product, has become increasingly important in product design. Modern PDM systems are integrating digital twin capabilities to simulate and analyze product performance, enabling predictive maintenance, optimization, and innovation. AI and Machine Learning: AI and machine learning technologies are being integrated into PDM systems to automate tasks such as design optimization, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance. These technologies help streamline product development processes and improve decision-making. Interoperability and Standards: With the proliferation of diverse software tools and systems used in product design, interoperability has become a critical issue. Standards such as ISO 10303 (STEP) and ISO 14306 (PLM XML) are being adopted to ensure compatibility and seamless data exchange between different PDM systems and software applications. #cad #pdm #engineeringexcellence
