Evolving Industrial Design Technology Trends in 2019

CADDZOOM

Manufacturers always prefer technologies that promise to make their firms more productive and profitable. One of the most recent concepts is the Internet of Things (IoT) which would revolutionize the industrial design technology. Additionally, use of Augmented Virtual Reality will offer industries to have more vivid experience of the real world. Digitalization is another concept that would give an apparent idea of development and technology dependent world. Further, Artificial Intelligence will become part of our daily life. So, let us briefly understand the Industrial Design Technology Trends in 2019.

Internet of things (IoT)

IoT is defined as a system of interlinked devices. The IoT for industries will empower new ways of ideation, engineering innovation, production execution, and service excellence. It is not just associated with physical objects but also about designing things in virtual space. It will completely change the connectivity power of electronics and software and their interaction. Such products will have the capability to increase the company’s profits as well as deliver significant benefits to consumers.

Augmented Virtual Reality

Augmented Virtual reality is going to change not only what customers do with products but also what they expect from them. It will provide consumers to experience the virtual world more vividly. In the case of designing, designers can pull their ideas out of the screen and can drop it into the real world at full scale. The designers will be able to visualize, interact, and report their findings on product quality from any part of the world. It will surely, advance the design technology and improve industry efficiency.

Digitalization

The use of Digital technologies changes the business model and distribute new income and value-producing chances to business. Digitalization will unquestionably improve the accessibility and will facilitate better information exchange worldwide. A proper digitalization plan will help industries to reinvent processes, improve quality and promote consistency.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing everything, and the Design industry is a part of this change. It is a section of computer science that highlights the creation of intelligent machines which work and respond like humans. Artificial Intelligence Designers will lead multidisciplinary teams in the formation and designing. So, it is very likely that soon AI would take control of the product design domain as well.

Overall, in 2019 many more technologies will evolve which will completely digitalize the design industry and will promote overall organizational growth.

5 Awesome Things Scientists Do With Lasers

CADDZOOM

Lasers are the cool and amazing light beams that make us excited. You can see them in a meeting room pointing to an object, or you can even play with them in your home. Lasers may seem pretty recent inventions, but they are with us for over half a century. The laser technology is not only cool but also, they are really useful in the field of science and technology. Below are five awesome things that the scientists can do with the lasers.

Optical Levitation: Lasers are powerful enough to levitate stuff. Photons that make up the light exert a force which is known as the radiation pressure. This pressure is so powerful that it can overcome the gravitational force to make an object levitate.

Optical Tweezers: The radiation pressure, as discussed above can be used to make optical tweezers to manipulate objects. The technology can affect objects as small as an atom.

Laser Cooling: Lasers can work as coolants too. Lasers are capable of cooling things down by reducing the momentum of atoms or molecules.

Fusion: The laser technology can recreate the environmental conditions which are found in the core of the Sun in the laboratory. Lasers can heat materials up to extremely high temperatures – about a million degrees. Atoms at these temperatures break down to form a soup of ions and electrons. Such a phenomenon causes fusion releasing a high amount of energy. This method can lead to clean power generation in huge amounts.

Image Biological Reactions: You can make little science movies with an x-ray laser. Having a very short wavelength, they can capture images of stuff as small as an individual atom. Lasers can take snapshot images of even molecular reactions very quickly. Such a method helps researchers learn biological reactions in detail.

Therefore, lasers have different uses and strengths, applicable for industrial purposes to medical profession bringing a broad scope of this technology.

Self-Healing Electronics: A Superpower from Sci-Fi Transformed to Everyday Devices

Inspired by the Wolverine an X-Men character, a group of researchers created transparent, self-repairing and a highly stretchable material with electronical activation capabilities. This material is suitable especially to improve the performance of electronic devices such as smartphones and robots. Such material is created by combining a stretchable polar polymer with an ionic salt. Some of its features are:

  • This material has stretching capability to expand itself up to 50 times its size.
  • It can automatically repair itself within 24 hours of damage.
  • One of its applications can improve the battery lifetimes of the electronic devices.

One of the professors from the team believes that the market will have a range of self-healing products within the next three years such as the smartphone screens. Self- repairing robots is the most exciting application the scientists are working on. Although this material will change the lifestyle of people, scientists are still exploring it’s applications.
