Innovation Engineering on its Way

Today’s thriving engineering technologies have been surprising us constantly. And, with the changing technologies, we can still expect how things change across different technology domains and industries. Here are ten most groundbreaking innovations in engineering that gives it a new definition.

3D Printing: The computers here converts the digital image of the model into a tangible physical product. The technology can print almost anything by laying layers of materials with the help of 3D printers.

Floating Train tracks: Researchers are now working to develop steel platforms on which trains can pass. These will have flexible bearings that will let the light rail tracks stay in a line. 

 

A Roof that closes like a Camera: One of the Atlanta’s newest stadium, now has a set of eight 500 ton steel petals that unfurl 200 feet above the ground. They can shut quickly in nine minutes shielding the players and the fans from the weather outside.

 

Replicating the Robot Arms: Robotic arms can now reassemble clones for itself and is cheaper than most of its market competitors.

AquaRefining: The method uses an electrochemical system to dissolve the Lead at room temperature without smelting harmful emission which occurred in the traditional methods.

Genetic Code printing: The new Digital-to-Biological Converter is now able to print genetic code following the digital instructions.

Synthetic Spider Silk: This fabric is developed artificially using yeast and is later spun into fabric using machines. These are the renewable protein-based fibers now available as a merchandise.

Thin Rail Roller-coaster: Designers are now using durable and less amount of steel to develop the Raptor Track roller coaster which easily fit into the intended spaces and offers a highly smooth ride.

Floating Wind Farm: Scotland is now using a floating wind farm to generate power from wind. Although they are currently close to the seashore, researchers are working to install them at farther distances where the winds are strong.

Underwater Snake Bots: The technology can be stationed on the seabed to repair infrastructure damages.

Next Generation: Apartment of the Future Concept Design

The design of the apartments have evolved in the last few years, and will continue developing with technology advancements. The apartment of the future is a complete new concept, it pervades and enhances as the architects and designers adopt new styles and feats.

Below listed are a few technologies that are comprises to define apartment of the future:

Delivery Drones

These drones can drop off packets and other utilities into another apartment safely and securely. This technology will lower down the use of elevator system as it will help people in delivering things to another resident’s apartment with the help of drone.

Robotic Parking

It will become an essential feature within the apartments as the site size will decrease, and automatic parking will make systematic sequencing of cars while saving valuable space and time. As a part of robotic parking, drone landing pads will be also used so that cars can be transported vertically outside the building to the right parking location. The car drivers will then be able to instruct parking with the touch of a smartphone app.

Self-Driving Cars

Within the few years, the roads are going to experience autonomous cars dominating the urban areas. There will be special parking for those vehicles that can automatically park themselves while for human-driven cars, the apartments will accommodate robotic parking system as listed above.

Smart Exteriors

In the process of creating apartments for the future, designers will propose only the lightweight and incredible strong carbon fibre. Such kinetic façade exterior will out bring energy and movement combined with energy efficient LED lighting that will assist in growth of vegetation. Therefore, the apartment of the future will produce solar as well as wind energy as a feature of smart exteriors.

Luxury Amenities

Residents in the apartments of the future are going to enjoy the on-the-go lifestyle which includes one feature as smart phone enabled entry. The residents can provide limited access time to enter and also reset the time as per the requirement. There will be bigger and functional closet spaces into rooms and also huge balconies. The residents will also experience gas cook tops and recycled glass counter tops in the kitchens.

What’s New In 3DS MAX 2018

3ds Max 2018 brings several new features for creating visualizations. The 2018 version of the software replaces the metal ray by the Arnold renderer becoming the high-end global illumination render engine for creating 3D visualizations. The application now includes 3ds Max interactive, which is a real-time engine, based on the Autodesk Stingray. This new 3D to VR workflow is specially designed to provide the 3ds Max users a new way to create interactive and virtual reality (VR) experiences. The application has some amazing Modeling and Rendering features as described below:

3D Modeling

The PDF import features, as indicated by the design professionals will help them save a lot of money. The AutoCAD 2018 let you use the SHX text recognition tool to quickly convert the imported PDF geometry to text and Mtext objects. The improvised text and Mtext tools, in turn, lets you convert a combination of single and multi-line text objects into a single multi-line text object automatically predicting the formatting.

3D Rendering

The 3ds Max interactive offer access integrated tools to create VR visualizations without leaving your 3ds Max workspace. Some of its features include:

 

The MAXtoA plug-in integrated into 3ds Max gives the designer’s access to Arnold’s latest features.

 

The application can simulate real-life camera settings such as shutter speed, aperture, depth of field, exposure and some other options. The physical camera integrates framing the scene with exposure control and some other effects.

 

The new controls include a Create Panel, Standard menu, and Enhanced menu. The camera feature lets the designers use photorealistic physically-based rendering techniques.

 

The application also includes some improved active shade rendering. This feature gives the designers a preview rendering that helps the developers to see the effects of changing light or material in the designed scene.

This way the application gives the users more power and flexibility to create images and 3D models. The new 3ds Max also offers advanced user interface capabilities that enable users to access all the content in a single view. The application also has improvements in its pipeline tools integration. It helps designers create, share and update portable assets that are flexible, interconnected and responsive towards changes in the design data. You can run the new 3ds Max on modern HDPI monitors and laptops to get a better view of your designs.

Best technology Careers for The Near Future

Education and skill development will never really come to an end when it comes to Information and Technology. Therefore, providing an updated account for the state of the technology industry is quite difficult. The rapid rise in technology has generated a boom in the career opportunities and job profiles across the IT industry. With the use of technology in our everyday life, the IT industry experienced a major spotlight in the past few years. This has led to many job opportunities in the field of analysis, design and IT Architecture. Some of the prominent technology based careers that are growing:

SOFTWARE ARCHITECT:

An architect maintains control over the architectural life cycle parallel to the software development of the project.
