Develop 3D is a UK based Magazine and Website focussing on the technologies involved in product design. The latest copy had a fascinating article on Dell’s Precision Workstation labs. This blog is being written on a Precision M4500 which I’ve lugged around countless airports and dumped, wearily, on numerous hotel beds. The fact that it works as well now as when I … [Read more...]

This is no truer than in its 3D CAD drawing interface. More Lego than Sculpting in its capabilities, it's always been quick and easy to mock up a conceptual cooling architecture for a proposed design. FloTHERM V10 provides a … [Read more...]

Temperature has always been, and will continue to be, a good enough leading indicator of product reliability. As a parameter it is easy to specify a maximum rating value and relatively easy to measure. However it is not temperature itself that directly causes product failure, more often than not it is some kind of mechanical fracture or deformation that itself is fuelled by … [Read more...]

The first deadline for abstract submissions to the 20th IEEE Workshop on THERMAL INVESTIGATIONS OF IC’s AND SYSTEMS (THERMINIC 2014) to be held at the magnificent World Heritage Site in Greenwich, London, has now passed. We’ve had a great response to the first call for abstracts, with more abstracts submitted this year compared to last year. The quality of abstracts submitted … [Read more...]
