Saving Lives Against All Odds with SOLIDWORKS:
The story of WestWind Technologies, Inc.
Death and taxes may be the only certainties in life, but of all the
uncertainties, Mother Nature is perhaps the most uncertain and
unforgiving. It's hard to turn on the news these days without seeing
some sort of talk about climate change, natural disasters, or some sort
of chaos. Mother Nature doesn't mess around. Hurricanes, floods,
earthquakes, wildfires or typhoons can tear a city apart and leave lives
devastated in their wake. While there seems to be an increase in deadly
inclement weather, technological advances have made it a little easier
to deal with these uncontrollable forces. In this crazy day and age,
aircraft-rescue missions have become increasingly common and continue to
save more and more lives. Helicopters are particularly well-suited to
access otherwise unreachable areas.
Whether a ferry is sinking in the freezing cold waters off South
Korea, or Marines are making a rescue in a battle zone, time is of the
essence. WestWind Technologies, Inc. (WTI) is a maintenance and systems
integration provider for the U.S. Army's rotor-wing aircraft fleet. WTI
develops retrofits for Sikorsky Black Hawk helicopters in addition to
civilian S-70 aircrafts. Not only is this aircraft the U.S. military's
workhorse, it's also the primary helicopter used by the U.S. Coast Guard
and other search-and-rescue organizations for air-based rescues.
WTI understands the importance of efficient integration to deliver external hoist kits. External hoist kits are mounted outside the aircraft and used to conduct hoist operations in combat zones and disaster relief situations. WTI accepted the proverbial challenge to develop an external hoist kit with both civilian and military benefits in mind. With SOLIDWORKS, WTI saved customers $300,000 by avoiding a six-week installation period, cut simulation run times from eight to two hours, and reduced assembly validation time by 50 percent. For a rescue team, the difference between life and death could be a matter of seconds. WTI makes this urgency their own.
"In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, during which rescue crews couldn't find enough air rescue helicopters or add external hoist arms fast enough, our customers have clamored for a simple, inexpensive way to add a rescue-hoist capability," Mechanical Engineer Richard Hall points out. "With SolidWorks, we designed a far better approach. If the aircraft is prewired, it takes just 20 minutes to install our system. Customers, ranging from the Army, National Guard, Navy, and Coast Guard to the Border Patrol and foreign military, have embraced our external hoist arm system."
Check out the full case study here to find out more about how Westwind Technologies, Inc. utilized SOLIDWORKS to save money, time, and lives. Learn how your company can maximize efficiency through 3D CAD.

3D printing technology
3D Printing and the Future of Manufacturing :
Who would have thought that modern manufacturing
could be done without a factory? Since the Industrial
Revolution, manufacturing has been synonymous with
factories, machine tools, production lines and economies
of scale. So it is startling to think about manufacturing
without tooling, assembly lines or supply chains. However,
this is exactly what is happening as 3D printing reaches
individuals, small businesses and corporate departments.
Today you can make parts, appliances and tools in a wide
variety of materials right from your home or workplace.
Using a computer, simply create, modify or download a
digital 3D model of an object. Click “print,” just as you
would for a document, and watch your physical 3D
object take shape. No longer the stuff of science fiction,
3D printing is a new reality.

3D printing is a new reality.
While this new reality is exciting, it also poses significant
questions for the future of how we manufacture goods.
Factories will not disappear, but the face of the manufacturing
industry will change as new entrants, new products
and new materials emerge, and mainstay processes
like distribution may no longer be needed. Today’s consumers
clamor for customized products and services and
for speed of delivery. Yet customization and immediacy
— right here, right now — are not economical with traditional
manufacturing processes, which are optimized for
large volumes of consistent output in a factory far away.
3D printing changes the calculus of manufacturing by
optimizing for batches of one. 3D printers are being used
to economically create custom, improved and sometimes
even impossible-to-manufacture products right where
they will be used. A single printer can produce a vast
range of products, sometimes already assembled. It’s a
factory without a factory floor and it has created a platform
for innovation, enabling manufacturing to flourish in
uncommon areas and spawning a new generation of doit-
yourself (DIY) manufacturers. The new players, with
their innovative processes and technology, will disrupt manufacturing as we know it. The Economist calls 3Dprinting the third Industrial Revolution, following mechanization
in the 19th century and assembly-line mass production in the 20th century.

SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptual: Focus On Your Design Concept, Not Your CAD Tool
Concept modeling using SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptual is fast and intuitive, allowing you to evolve your designs from simple 2D layout sketches to 3D geometry, then parts and assemblies.
You can choose the level of detail required to validate your concepts, and easily share this information with other stakeholders in the decision making process. The streamlined user interface and flexible modeling tools provide a perfect combination of power and simplicity, allowing you to explore more design alternatives.
When exploring different design ideas, the final solution may be very different from where you started. Being able to quickly make changes to your models, without being restricted by earlier design decisions, can be a significant competitive advantage. Using simple push-pull, drag-and-rotate direct editing techniques, you can modify 3D models, regardless of their source.
If the models were created from scratch in SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptual, you can mix parametric history-based and direct editing techniques together, giving you the ability to modify models in record time.
While choosing the best design is a goal that all designers strive for, being able to easily identify, capture and retrieve all your ideas can increase the overall effectiveness of your product development process.
A design that might not be best for one situation could be perfect for another. Capturing these ideas allows you to leverage your team’s collective expertise, and make decisions better and faster for future projects, increasing your competitive edge.
SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptual allows you to quickly and easily explore new design ideas, make rapid changes regardless of data source or previous design intent, and store and communicate all of your ideas for use on current or future projects. The combination of these distinctive attributes allows you to design innovative products faster than ever before.
You can choose the level of detail required to validate your concepts, and easily share this information with other stakeholders in the decision making process. The streamlined user interface and flexible modeling tools provide a perfect combination of power and simplicity, allowing you to explore more design alternatives.
During
the concept design phase, being able to rapidly iterate through your
ideas is critical. Instead of focusing your attention on product
structure, SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptual’s intuitive “Single Modeling
Environment” lets you explore and validate these ideas, without needing
to define part and assembly structure at the beginning of the process.
When the time is right, you can simply convert your 2D sketches and 3D
features to components. There’s no need to switch to different windows
or model types. - See more at:

تطبيق فكرة الـ Phonebloks من خلال تقنية الـ 3D Printing
اعلنت شركة “موتورولا”، المملوكة لشركة “جوجل” في أكتوبر الماضي عن تبني مشروع الهاتف “Phonebloks”، ضمن مشروعها Project Ara، وذلك لإنتاج أول هاتف يتألف من قطع منفصلة يستطيع المستخدم شراءها وتركيبها أو فكّها وتبديلها لترقية جهازه.
وأوضحت شركة 3D Systems، عبر موقعها الرسمي، أنها وقعت عقد متعدد السنوات مع “موتورولا” لإمدادها بمنصة إنتاج عالية السرعة والجودة تعمل على تقنيات الطباعة ثلاثية الأبعاد لخدمة مشروع Project Ara.
وسوف تستخدم منصة الإنتاج القائمة على الطباعة ثلاثية الأبعاد في صناعة قطع الهاتف الذكي، حيث أكد آفي ريتشنتال، الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة 3D Systems، أن تلك النوعية من الطباعة سوف تحقق لمشروع Project Ara هدفه الرئيسي وهو إمكانية تخصيص القطع، وذلك إلى جانب تحقيق عنصري الاستدامة وسرعة الإنتاج.
ولم تعلن الشركة المتخصصة في تقنيات الطباعة ثلاثية الأبعاد عن موعد محدد للكشف عن أول نموذج للهاتف القابل للتخصيص، أو للقطع التي تم طباعتها عبر منصة الإنتاج الجديد التي ستمد بها “موتورولا”.
وكانت فكرة الهاتف “Phonebloks”، والتي تم تبنيها في مشروع Project Ara، قد تم تصميمها من قبل المصمم الهولندي “ديف هاكنز”، وهو الهاتف الذي يمكن تغيير كافة قطعه لتحديث مواصفاته بسهولة ودون الحاجة لخبرة مسبقة وذلك عبر إزالة القطعة القديمة وإضافة القطعة الجديدة على القاعدة التي تربط القطع جميعها.
ويشار إلى أن الهدف الرئيسي من وراء الهاتف “Phonebloks” كان تقليل نسبة المخلفات الإلكترونية الناتجة عن التخلص من الهواتف القديمة، وإتاحة الفرصة للمستخدمين لصنع هواتفهم الذكية حسب احتياجاتهم.
الجدير بالذكر أن “موتورولا” تنتظر نجاح تجربتها مع شركة 3D Systems، لتعلن عن تفاصيل أكثر حول الهاتف وموعد توافره في الأسواق، خاصة أنها لم تكشف بعد عن أي تفاصيل في هذا الشأن أو تفاصيل عن نظام التشغيل الذي سيعمل به الهاتف، إلا أن المتوقع أن تزود الشركة المملوكة لشركة “جوجل” الهاتف الجديد بنظام “أندرويد”.
