e-Xstream engineering, part of Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division, has unveiled a new 10X Integrated Computational Material Engineering (ICME) Solution that applies academic research with leading software and inspection solutions to dramatically accelerate innovation using by enabling manufacturers to design, engineer and test components virtually through simulation.
Integrated Computational Material Engineering (ICME) is an emerging technique that ensures optimal combination of materials and manufacturing processes to innovate and maximize performance, resulting in reduced costs and lead time.
10X ICME from Hexagon offers the industry a complete and integrated solution portfolio to leverage the full potential of ICME so that companies can exploit the ideal combination of materials with manufacturing processes to innovate and maximize performance, while also reducing cost and product lead time.
By integrating design, engineering and testing, manufacturers can make informed choices early in product development to improve quality or reduce waste and also harness data to devise more efficient, connected design and engineering workflows.
ICME enables advanced materials such as carbon fibre composites to be selected and applied to their full potential by improving the accuracy of, and trust in, material simulations with better data and modelling. Using 10X ICME, it is now possible to predict how combinations of advanced materials such as composites and manufacturing methods from injection moulding to 3D printing will affect everything from the speed to the sustainability of future aircraft and cars.
