Generative design is one of the most promising means of new product development in the world. It allows formation of organic structures that brings various benefits, e.g. in the form of savings of material and production costs. Generative design includes several types of technology, topological optimization included. The paper addresses the technology of topological optimization implemented on the support part of the 3D printing pad. The result of optimization is the creation of a new, more suitable design concept through the Altair Inspire optimization software.
In the article we deal with the issue of non-destructive diagnostics of a specified part on the railway, namely the rail. The chapters are devoted to the non-destructive defectoscopic method, or more precisely an ultrasonic test, which is performed by DIO 562 device and it also includes data processing from the measurement. The article briefly describes location and character of defects on the rails and actual process of measurement. The measurement was performed on a standard length of 10 km, with the use of a device capable of copying shape of the rails during the ultrasonic examination. The evaluation of the measurement was processed in specialized software DIO 2000 on the PC. Based on this evaluation, three manual inspections were implemented to determine the character of defects. The conclusion of this article is a precise determination of character and origin of these selected defects, and suggestion for their removal or replacement according to the valid regulations.
At present, one can encounter a large number of CAD systems in design practice. They are mostly CAD systems for creation and modification of a geometric model. Modelling new prototype components requires high flexibility. To achieve such flexibility, special tools and methods that are a part of generative design are used. Generative design is currently one of the new and rapidly evolving modelling technologies in computer aided design. The paper describes a new design approach and the software used for modelling components in a generative way of designing, with the possibility of interfacing it with software suitable for the creation of a robot control program for component production by additive technology.
The article discusses the possibilities of production of a brushless electric motor with usage of additive technologies and verification the functionality of the design. A few electromotor stators have been produced by 3D printing. They were made of PLA plastic with different admixtures to increase the intensity of the magnetic field. The contribution at the end offers a comparison comprising the individual measurements and the efficiency of the electric motor.
Educational tools for computer modelling with the implementation of augmented reality elements have an irreplaceable place in the period of the digital revolution of Industry 4.0. The integration of augmented reality into the educational process in the field of computer modelling, in this paper, consists in the creation of technical documentation of the wheel suspension part and the subsequent creation of an application for the visualization of this model in the real environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
