Mach9 has progressed from CMU research to tools to help the construction and infrastructure industries build and use 3D maps.
The Tools, They are a Changing’
(regarding the title, just think Bob Dylan’s “The Times They are a Changin”) Just as Computer Aided Design, CAD, has revolutionized the design process, it is growing in capability and impacting many other arenas of engineering. The first major extensions to CAD were integration of Finite Element Analysis, the ability to analyze loads on the […]

The common definition of mechatronics does not include testing. Perhaps it should. By Sugato Deb, Ph.D., MBA & Director Emerging Markets / Partnerships National Instruments In the traditional design process of parts and assemblies, engineers produce models, analyze their behaviors under operating conditions, and pass physical prototypes “over the wall” for test engineers to evaluate […]
