❤️ Space. Robotics. Simcenter. ❤️ In many ways the love story continues between Northrop Grumman and Siemens Digital Industries Software this time it's a very interesting webinar on how Simcenter 3D, HEEDS and Amesim are applied to robotics in space. Who better to guide us through this topic than Jens de Boer and Daisaku Inoyama Manager of Structural Engineering / Multi-Body Dynamics in Space Systems at Northrop Grumman. 🚀 OBVIOUSLY, really cool to see the creation of a hi-fi digital twin so that's useful for everyone. Also there is a good perspective and overview of the individual tools in Simcenter (3D, HEEDS and Amesim) that should be really valuable for any #spaceengineer. #simcenter #space #amesim https://lnkd.in/dtGbgdQb

🤖 New way of manufacturing sheet metal: Robo-forming This video talks about a new way of manufacturing sheet metal called Robo-forming. It is basically using robots and artificial intelligence to shape metal sheets. This technology could revolutionize the way many things are made. Traditionally, sheet metal forming has been done with stamping presses. These presses are expensive and can only make one specific shape. Robo-forming, on the other hand, is much more flexible. Robots can be programmed to make a wide variety of shapes, and they can be easily reprogrammed to make new ones. This means that companies will be able to produce custom parts without having to invest in new machinery. #manufacturing #technology #innovation #robotics #artificialintelligence https://lnkd.in/gBkhz9vv

This robotic system can autonomously assemble lightweight, high-strength structures, including a shelter.

🌟 Excited to share my latest project! 🌟 I've been working on a simulation of a planetary gear mechanism in Fusion 360. This project has been an incredible opportunity to dive deep into the complexities of gear dynamics and explore their applications in various engineering fields. Check out the video to see the simulation in action! 🎥⚙️ #Fusion360 #MechanicalEngineering #PlanetaryGears #EngineeringSimulation #Robotics #STEM
