These days, it seems we have a green awakening, as people seek to add sustainability to all aspects of daily life. The buildings sector has been at the forefront of this push, with green buildings and sustainable architecture being a top priority for numerous years now. The motivation is clear: green buildings are healthier for the people who
In the aerospace, automotive, machine industry, and maritime equipment design niches, the name CATIA is synonymous with quality and durability due to its widespread use by Engineers and CAD Designers operating in the aforementioned business niches. Dassault Systemes —the developers of Soli
When 3D printing first broke onto the scene and started to gain traction, entering into the public consciousness, there were limited, niche applications available. Scientists, universities, and industries who could afford them for the emerging needs were the only places you found 3D printers.
Increasingly digital technologies are often associated with areas like computing, the Internet of Things devices, and other electronics, but the reality is that digitalization is revolutionizing every industry. The construction industry may not be the first area you think of when it comes to digitalization, but increasingly complex and technol
In the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries, new technologies are advancing with each passing day that makes the process of construction smarter, more streamlined, and indeed futuristic. When it comes to embracing the possibility of new innovative technologies, the AEC has long been at the forefront. As shown by trends
90% of people turn right when they enter a store, not an arbitrary action, but rather the result of deliberate store layout planning intended to create a memorable customer experience. Experts have devoted intensive research to understanding the ideal st
While the concept of city planning is not a new one, the strategies that we’re using in modern society to create the cities of tomorrow are evolving along with technology. Decisions that are made when designing a city will have enormous implications for decades to come. Still, with the aid of 3D modeling capabilities, virtual technologies, a
3D printing was an exciting technology that burst onto the scene not too long ago, at first only housed in large universities and factories that could afford these immense and quite expensive machines that would take hours upon hours to print out a simple model that was created on a computer. Flash forward to now, and it is commercially availa
The advent of computers and modeling software unequivocally changed the construction, architecture, and design industries like never before. Where previously architects would use hand tools to draw, and mockup building, the new age of computerization meant that Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems were the new normal. Talented engineers
When 3D printing first burst onto the scene, it was the realm of high-tech engineers who were creating production models, rapid prototypes, and critical machining tools. However, a lot has changed in the 3D printing world over the past decade, including 3D printers becoming cheaper, smaller, and thus more accessible.
