“What Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man sees, symbols overlaid on the real world, giving him all sorts of information in colour while he’s flying around at speed, that’s the kind of thing that Striker II does”   When a fighter pilot is flying a high-speed jet, every second counts. In futuristic TV and movies we’ve got used to seeing pilots reading displays right in front of their eyes, think Iron Man and Top Gun. Well real life is catching up with the revolutionary Striker II Digital Helmet-Mounted Display made by BAE Systems.    BAE Systems is one the world’s leading aerospace innovators but their history goes back a long way at their site in Rochester, England. Once a plant that built aircraft during WW2, it’s now the birthplace of augmented reality in aviation, shaping the future of both military and commercial aviation.   Nigel Kidd, has worked on the groundbreaking technology that powers Striker II since its inception,  Alongside him Paul Harrison, manages th

"Manufacturing is critical to our national security, our health and our ability to explore new worlds and advance the human condition… VulcanForms exists to move manufacturing forward and be a small piece, hopefully a very important piece, of that future.”   VulcanForms is an MIT-born company that builds and operates advanced digital manufacturing infrastructure, founded in 2015. It’s named after Vulcan, the roman god of fire and metalworking. Why? Because the company has developed an innovative new way of manufacturing intricate metal parts on an industrial scale. They use metal additive manufacturing, a form of 3D printing to print engineered metal components that require precise designs and complex structures. This means they can have a production line that can at one time be making components for medical devices, then switch to making consumer electronics, and another week be making products for aviation, space exploration or the defence industry.   What’s more this pro

“They wanted to prototype technologies for telexistence… so it’s essentially where you have aremote operator… controlling a robotic autonomous system.” If you are injured in a disaster zone, it is critical that you receive medical care as urgently aspossible. But what if the environment is not safe for medics to enter? Either because it is a warzone or because there are hazardous materials around. That’s where AMRC’s VR technologycan help. The Advanced Medical Robotics Centre at the University of Sheffield, UK has createdpioneering robotics technology to get medics into difficult-to-access areas to triage patients.Using medical telexistence (MediTel) technology, medics can operate a remote controlled robotto reach the patients, and wear a virtual reality headset which places them in that environment.The robots are equipped with medical devices which allow the medics to carry out checksincluding taking the patient's pulse, administering pain relief and palpitating their abdomen

“We’re giving the opportunity for people to do a lot of technical work, that generally doesn't happen too often in Kenya”   If you’ve been to East Africa you may be familiar with “boda bodas.” If not, they’re small taxi bikes, commonly used by couriers or to transport people. There are 1.2 million of them in Kenya alone, that’s a lot of combustion engines on the roads, and removing them is the problem that Roam Electric are helping to solve   Roam was founded in 2017. They started out making electric safari vehicles (no surprise being located right on the edge of the national park) but they now aim to create an electric future for Africa by producing easy-to-use, affordable electric vehicles. As well as developing innovative electric buses as the country’s newest and greenest mass transit solution, they also build an electric motorcycle called the Roam Air, primarily targeted at boda boda riders.   In this episode we head to Nairobi to visit Roam’s HQ to meet Masa Kituy

“How can we make this so it physically works, but also how can we make it so that it looksamazing as well?” From James Bond to Mission Impossible to The Great Escape, chances are you have probablyseen a Triumph motorcycle on the silver screen. Triumph’s most famous bikes are probablytheir iconic 1960s Bonneville range, but they make a wide range of classic, urban and adventurebikes, and also supply engines for racing bikes, with some models having even broken land-speed records. The company was founded in 1902 and they currently sell around 100,000 bikeseach year all around the world. The sleek design which made the 1960s models so famous is very important to the brand, butthey also need to include all of the modern hardware that today’s consumers expect, from cruisecontrol to infotainment. Our producer Helen visited Triumph’s headquarters in Hinckley to meetChief Design Office Geoff Hurst. He showed her around their offices and the on-site VisitorCentre, and explained how clever desi

“We believe that Africa shouldn’t be trailing behind the developing world in green initiatives, butthat actually Africa is primed to lead the drive to green initiatives.” Around the world, over 3 billion people don’t have access to motorised transport. This meansthat farmers in emerging economies can struggle to get their produce to market. They mighthave to carry heavy loads long distances, or pay to rent a bike which isn’t suited to dangerousroads, all because they can’t afford to buy a truck. OxDelivers is working to change all this byallowing farmers to rent space in their electric OxTrucks. As the farmers are only paying for thespace they need, the system remains affordable and allows them to take more goods to marketand make more profit. The OxDelivers system is currently operating in Rwanda, but they aim to expand to otheremerging markets. The OxTrucks have been designed to be durable enough to negotiate thehilly Rwandan roads, and fully electric to keep costs down and to be le

“There’s nothing really else out there that compares to this…. It’s the closest to real life you canget without actually going out on track in a car.“ Imagine being able to race round all the world’s top Formula One circuits and feel every bumpand bit of understeer without actually having to travel anywhere. Or to be able to test drive aroad car that hasn’t been built yet on the motorway. Dynisma creates driving simulators thatmake this possible. Founded by ex-F1 engineer Ash Warne, Dynisma develops incrediblyrealistic driving simulators for both motorsport teams and the car industry. What sets theirsimulators apart though is how quickly they respond, in milliseconds, so drivers feel like they’redriving a real car. Our host (and motor racing fan) Paul Haimes joined Ash in Dynisma’s office in Somerset tolearn more about how they build state of the art simulators - and to have a test drive in theirflagship DMG-1 model simulator. Paul drives the DMG-1 around the famous SpaFrancorchamps F

I am trying to understand legacy drawing files that are brought into a more recent release. In my example and common practice is user will open a legacy file created in a very old version and do a Save As to a new number (.drw file). Does this new file now become Creo8 or is it still using old version and old code that may have a bug in it. I know the .dtl file is static to the drawing and .prt and .asm upon regeneration will take on new version. I am trying to understand drawing behavior as well. When I open new .drw in editor it does have Creo8 in the header. My base for question is bugs and fixes that were corrected in later releases.

Hello,Why GPOST does not output the feed rate during NURBS machining ?Attached a new PP completly empty (Postprocessor defaults) and CL file.CREO 7.0.5.0GPOST V6.8 P20p2-J11 Regards 

Hello, I am using CREO 5 - manufacturing, I am trying set probe in Manual cycle - CL Command - Menu - PROBE_CYCLES.Has anyone work with this?Thank you for the help

hello,in the idea of standardising, we are in the process to recreate our start parts (prt template).The question of the mass properties calculation comes in. If I check the legacy data, some are using the mass property retrieved throught PRO_MP_MASS and some have a mass property feature in the footer and retrieved through MASS:FID_MASS_PROP (relation in post regeneration) I can't come out with a real pro or con from one or another solution...We use the mass in windchill, on the drawing and with family tables (even huge ones). Does anyone has an opinion on that? how are you doing in your compagny and why did you choose this solution?  

“It is different, it is unique, and people are not used to seeing a piano in this harmoniousmustard colour.” Since the launch of the Casiotone keyboard in 1980, the electronic keyboard has become apopular addition to our homes. A more affordable and portable option to the classic piano, itopened up an exciting new era of musical expression to a generation of consumers. Althoughthey started out making calculators and watches, they have since sold over 100 million musicalinstruments. Their latest model, the PX-S7000 in “harmonious mustard” from the Casio Priviarange, is not only going down a storm with musicians but it’s also a thing of beauty winningdesign awards for its unusual look. Neil Evans is the Electronic Music Division of Casio in the UK and Ireland. He tells us about thecultural impact and evolution of the casio keyboard… and also plays us some tunes. Find outfrom Neil how the sound samples have evolved over the years, how their dedication to detailmakes playing the keyboard

“The project has definitely made me more curious about all the kinds of subjects I had to delveinto for the project… also resilience, I think, is a big part of it.“ Education is vital for inspiring the engineers of tomorrow. In this special episode of the podcastwe ask: are we encouraging enough young people to go into engineering to meet the demandfor innovation? We speak to Jordan Cox from PTC’s Education segment about the importanceof inspiring the next generation to study STEM subjects, and how the company is supportingacademia in creating the engineers of the future. We also head to Germany to meet Steve Sandhoop, a high school student at the Gymnasium inden Filder Benden, who is living proof that giving students access to technology to get involvedin engineering can yield great results. Steve created a robot arm designed to carry out kneesurgery as part of his final project at school. Not content with just building the robot, he alsocreated an accurate life-size model of a human

“You see a photograph and you’d be hard pressed to say that’s a model… I can still get tricked.” Many of us will have nostalgic memories of building Airfix model kits of planes as a child. In theUK, the name 'Airfix' has become practically synonymous with plastic models of the iconic British WW2 fighter plane, the Spitfire. However, Airfix (and their parent company HornbyHobbies) make model kits of a wide range of vehicles and aircraft, from sports cars to classicand modern jets, trains, tanks and even warships. Their models range in complexity all the wayfrom starter kits to very complex designs. Senior Designer Chris Joy tells us about the development of new kits and the detailed researchthat is required to make Airfix models the most detailed and accurate representations of planesand vehicles as possible. He explains the artistry involved in putting together the smallestdetails on model planes, including making the outside look weathered and beaten, anddiscusses how computer-aided

“The genesis of Xenith was basically: there’s gotta be a better way.” Athletes who play American Football regularly face high-impact tackles, the force of which canfeel like being hit by a baby whale. As more research is being done into the potential effects ofrepeated head trauma on an athlete’s health, there is a renewed focus on safety measures inthe sport being driven from the top down by the NFL. Xenith was founded in 2006 by Vin Ferrara, who had played college football as a quarterbackand was interested in creating a new game-changing type of helmet. Xenith’s unique approachis to use adaptive technology which allows the helmet to move independently to the athlete’shead on impact, protecting them from the majority of the force. Now, Xenith’s helmets are usedacross the globe and the company makes various different types of protective equipmentincluding helmets, shoulder pads and core guards from their headquarters in Detroit, Michigan. In this episode Chief Engineer Ron Jadischke

“When it comes to creating a home… we’re creating future memories for people”. Did you know that buildings account for 39% of all global energy related carbon emissions?From the energy used in central heating to the materials used in their construction, our homesare a huge contributor to our carbon footprint. So how do we create sustainable homes for thefuture? Architectural firm Warehome, based in East London, is trying to answer that question. In this episode, Founder Joe Stuart tells us about how Warehome specialises in the Germandesign approach “Passivhaus” and takes us on a tour of his home (also the first house thatWarehome built and designed.) Find out how they’re using carefully considered buildingmaterials such as timber to make the building process more sustainable, and designing thespace so there is no need for a central heating system. He also explains how important it is todesign a space that is personalised and a home, and how virtual reality can help to deliver thatfor

Technology has become integrated into every aspect of the way we work, especially for peoplewho spend a big chunk of time sitting at a desk for their job. But whether you’re updating a document on your iPad, or dialling into Zoom from your laptop,this tech is not hands free. So frontline workers like paramedics, engineers, mechanics - peoplewho have their hands tied doing their job - often miss out on the edge and convenience ofcomputers. And that’s where Assisted Reality and RealWear’s incredible suite of hands-free, voice-enabledhead wearables comes in. To find out about this tech, and in particular their flagship product the Navigator 520, ourreporter Joel Shupack visited RealWear’s HQ in Vancouver, Washington, to meet chairman andCEO Andrew Crosstowski (Chrostowski).    

Is there a way to transfer design data from EPLAN to Creo Schematics?For example some neutral data like STEP for 3D? I have found article from 2010 without answers, maybe there is something which works nowadays?

     I don't know what to do. Here is my code, the function ProDtlsyminstdataVartextsSet() returns the PRO_TK_BAD_INPUTS. It confused me.ProDtlsyminst sym_inst; ProDtlsyminstdata data; ProDtlvartext text; /*initialize...*/ stutas = ProDtlvartextAlloc((wchar_t*)L"test", (wchar_t*)L"2.5", &text); status = ProDtlsyminstDataGet(&sym_inst, PRODISPMODE_SYMBOLIC, &data); status = ProDtlsyminstdataVartextsSet(data, &text); status = ProDtlsyminstModify(&sym_inst, data); 

Hi all, I've got an assembly - which I can't show its entirety for obvious reasons. It contains many components that are fixed, but two of which have 'Pin' constraints. This one is pinned to one fixed component - with no following mechanism components. For some reason when I grab it and move it, it makes the camera highly sensitive. Please see video attached. I tried restarting Creo, and restarting my computer - the same issue occurs. It temporarily goes away when I delete and re-add/re-constrain the component, but comes back later on. Thanks,Jeff I have no clue hwt

Hello all, Would anyone know why a model would display hidden lines when the display setting is "shading with edges"? I have included a screen capture of a portion of the model.  I thought there may be a setting for Hidden Line Removal that was modified by a user, but didn't find anything like that on the web.  Using Creo Parametric 8.0.1.0 Thanks in advance, Phil
