The traditional form of engineering can cost you a huge amount of money. Suffering through redesigns and wait time can be a death sentence for manufacturing. Concurrent engineering may be the boost in efficiency you need to save that wasted money. Are you interested...
A steamboat explosion in 1865 killed more people than the sinking of the Titanic. 1,800 souls were lost when a steamboat called the Sultana met its demise just outside of Memphis, Tennessee. The tragic incident occurred when the boats’ poorly maintained boiler...
The cost of doing business keeps getting more and more expensive. Many companies are feeling the pressure of trying to increase revenue while facing increased engineering costs. One solution for this is to outsource your engineering services. After all, engineers are...
Finite Element Analysis, or FEA, is a key process in fundamentally sound engineering. It helps us understand and test the potential breaking points of objects before we even begin to build them. As fundamental as it is, it’s not always easy to understand. FEA...
Modern Psychologists claim that the best way to deal with failure is to focus on variables within your control. To do this, you must first be able to identify these variables. This is why smart failure analysis is essential to managing and optimizing everything from...
As a manufacturing company, you need the right equipment to keep your business moving. Whether it’s structural calculations or heavy machinery design, an engineer is a great asset. And mechanical engineering is a growing industry with roots in manufacturing. But...
When it comes to mechanical engineering, understanding fine element analysis (FEA) is one thing. Knowing the different types of FEA helps you use different analysis to simulate more variables before putting a design in place. Let’s take a look at a few of...
Engineering often goes unappreciated until there’s a mistake. Then everyone knows about it. Engineering mistakes can lead to high-profile disasters and even litigation. That’s why engineers need to optimize and stress test their designs. Doing so can also...
The engineering design cycle moves through several stages from initial design to final production. Throughout those stages, parts need to be checked to make sure they’re fit for purpose. But when is a part verified, and when is it validated? The two terms are...
When you need to get the most from your manufacturing, it is vital to hone your production processes. The more efficient and speedy your work, the more benefits you’ll provide to your company as a whole. In terms of processes, concurrent engineering is...
