Earlier this week, Dassault released its highly realistic digital model of the human heart, which it calls the"Living Heart Project."
Dassault hopes that medical device makers will also use the Living Heart Project's technology for research and development.
"In 2014, the agency agreed to work with Dassault on a five-year research project that will focus on the reliability of pacemaker leads (the thin wires that carry an electrical impulse from the device to the heart.
#US Air force contracts 3d Systems to make next-gen components 3d Systems is taking part in a $1. 3 million contract to develop cutting-edge aircraft heat exchanger to be manufactured using 3d printing.
Led by Honeywell International, a leading manufacturer of heat exchangers, this project will utilize 3ds's Direct Metal Printing technology as well as the additive manufacturing and materials expertise of Penn State's Center for Innovative Materials Processing through Direct Digital Deposition (CIMP-3d).
3ds commented that such qualified use of additive manufacturing ill not only revolutionize jet engine manufacturing, but it will also open this technology to a multibillion-dollar heat exchanger market.
Further, it is expected that this project's results could accelerate validation of 3ds'manufacturing capability as a new component of Honeywell's supply chain.
Together with some of the nation leading military suppliersncluding Honeywell, Northrop grumman, and Lockheed Martind Systems was contracted to develop a precision closed loop
and advanced manufacturing and monitoring platform, designed to deliver the accuracy, functionality and repeatability specifications demanded for flight-worthy aerospace parts.
The first contract is led by 3ds, in partnership with the University of Delaware Center for Composite Manufacturing,
Sandia National Laboratory and Lockheed martin. The project is designed to integrate predictive technologies with 3dssls 3d printers to dynamically monitor parts at the layer level during the manufacturing process,

#Supersonic Aircraft patented by an Airbus Group Company The European aeronautic defence and space company has patented a revolutionary aircraft that leaves every other supersonic jet far behind.
it puts even the fastest Concorde to shame. The sonic boom created by this aircraft is surprisingly less than that of the Concorde.
The aircraft is equipped with two ramjets under its delta wings, a pair of Turbojets under the front part of the fuselage and a rocket engine at the rear end of the fuselage.
The turbojets are used for propelling the aircraft during taxiing and take off. The passengers and the crew are placed in hammocks for improved comfort.
Once the aircraft climbs to a certain altitude, the turbojets are retracted into the fuselage. At this point, the rocket engine is ignited at full power causing the aircraft to travel vertically like a rocket at supersonic speeds.
Because of this vertical trajectory, the energy of the supersonic boom is dissipated in all horizontal radial directions
and does not encounter the ground. The ingenuity that makes higher supersonic speeds possible lies in the pair of fins situated on the outer ends of the delta wings.
At speeds less than MACH 1, these fins are oriented horizontally. However, once the speed exceeds MACH 1
the aircraft curves into a horizontal trajectory at which point the rocket engine is powered off and closed by a door to make it streamlined.
The ram jets are ignited then and the aircraft is propelled horizontally at supersonic speeds. At 4. 5 mach, you can reach from London to NY in 1 hr.
Currently it takes a 7 hrs flight. The flight path of this aircraft technically makes it the highest roller coaster in the world.
