FPGA InsideOut is an attempt to make a set of educational FPGA videos presented in the “human-in-the-loop” style. In these videos we will not only show how we are interfacing with an actual FPGA board but will also provide synchronous real-time visualisation of FPGA's internal logic.

For our first video we have picked a CRC circuit (cycle redundancy check) which is based on a linear feedback shift register. This circuit goes through several transformations during the course of the video. Intrigued? - let’s watch the video.

In various discussions, we have already commented on how the PVS-Studio C and C++ module works with memory. Now it's time to make a small article from this comment.

The PVS-Studio analyzer often checks code of libraries, frameworks, and engines for game development. Today we check another project — MonoGame, a low-level gamedev framework written in C#.

Hello! I'm kicking off another article series about the internals of PostgreSQL. This one will focus on query planning and execution mechanics.

In the first article we will split the query execution process into stages and discuss what exactly happens at each stage.

A website with bugs could be a real pain in the neck for business. Just one 404 or 500 error could end up costing an obscene amount of money for the company and hurt a good reputation. But there is a way to avoid this issue: the website testing. That's sort of what this article is about. After reading this article, you will learn how to test code in Django, create your "own website tester" and much more. Welcome to the article.

Operating systems are a kind of software where code quality is critical. This time the PVS-Studio analyzer checked MuditaOS. So let's take a look at what the static analyzer found in this open-source OS.

U.S.-based 3D Systems released two updated versions of their Geomagic reverse engineering software: Geomagic Design X and Geomagic Wrap. Both programs work with scanned data and feature various innovative capabilities. They are designed to streamline workflows and provide quality, high-precision models made from 3D scans.

Radhika Krishnan, Executive Vice President at 3D Systems, said that their most comprehensive reverse engineering solution features a wide range of best-in-class products. Robust scan processing and ability to design CAD models is essential for speeding up product development.

He added: “With the new features we are introducing today, designers and manufacturers who have incorporated our reverse engineering products into their end-to-end workflow will be able to achieve unmatched speed and accuracy. We are committed to continuing this caliber of innovation which is enabling our customers to improve productivity, lower Total Cost of Operation (TCO), and maintain competitive advantage.”

3DEXPERIENCE is online and completely free in 2022. Designers, engineers and other attendees can take part in various online sessions.

Chinese 3D printer maker Creality has announced the release of a highly-capable, cost-effective 3D scanner that is brand new.

The CR-Scan 01, Creality's newest scanning solution is a user-friendly device that nevertheless boasts premium specifications, and can capture details as small as 0.1mm of size. Because of its flexible settings, multiple-purpose abilities, and expanded scanning range, the device is very easy to use, while offering impressive accuracy and affordability. 

3D printer manufacturer WASP is known for offering efficient FDM solutions for industrial applications that are bound to dramatically multiply and streamline the production. Let’s have a brief look at one of its flagship products — the Delta WASP 60100 professional delta 3D printer.

Created by Hungarian manufacturer CraftUnique, the CraftBot Flow IDEX XL is a large-format FDM 3D printer equipped with an independent dual extruder (IDEX). The device is aimed at designers, artists, engineers, and architects who want to create large professional prints for artistic, functional, or prototyping needs.

The build chamber of the machine has dimensions of 425 x 250 x 500 mm, providing users with a potential volume of 56 liters. The IDEX system, in which two all-metal hotends are placed in two separate print heads, allows the extruders to freely move along the X-axis. Thanks to the maximum nozzle temperature of 300 °C, the CraftBot Flow IDEX XL is compatible with an array of tough thermoplastics like ABS, Nylon, PETG, and PVA.

The majority of the functions including filament loading/unloading can be accessed via a full-color 5" touch screen located on the front panel. The connectivity options of the device include USB, Wi-Fi, and a cloud. In addition, the printer boasts a built-in camera that allows creating timelapses and controlling the machine remotely, as well as a filament runout sensor to pause printing and continue the process with the other extruder.

Italian 3D printer manufacturer WASP offers the Delta WASP 2040 Industrial X professional FDM system compatible with a plethora of printing materials and featuring a whole lot of bells and whistles.

Hungarian 3D printer manufacturer CraftUnique offers the CraftBot Flow lineup of FDM 3D printers comprising four models: two single extrusion and two individual dual extrusion (IDEX) versions.

The company developed this series with a primary focus on reliability and efficiency, having equipped them with cutting-edge features and its proprietary technology that was the result of referring to active user feedback. Every model from the CraftBot Flow family is "inspired" by the market and is designed to offer its own benefits.

Shining 3D is a Chinese company focused on 3D digitizing solutions. Founded in 2014, the company is one of the pioneers of the field. They mainly release 3D scanners, although the company’s portfolio is larger than just that. In 2019, Shining 3D partnered with 3D Systems, another 3D technologies pioneer, to bundle Shining 3D scanners with Geomagic Essentials scanning software solution. In that year, the EinScan Pro 2X series of 3D scanners by Shining 3D came with the program. 

Geomagic Essentials is a powerful scan-to-CAD and reverse engineering solution. It offers a streamlined experience while offering a sizable set of features. 

The program’s new version, V2, was recently released. Let’s see what’s new.

Chinese 3D printer manufacturer (headquartered in San Diego) UNIZ known for its high-speed resin 3D printers, announced its new incredibly fast dental device.

This is the UNIZ NBEE, and this device offers high levels of accuracy and is very reliable on top of its impressive speed. The device targets the dental field and offers a build volume of 192 × 120 × 180 mm, allowing it to print various-sized dental products: from aligners to surgical guards. 

The main selling point of the machine is its speed: at 280 mm/h it’s the fastest device offered by UNIZ. It allows the machine to print 6 average-sized dental models in just 5 minutes. The UNIZ Dental software is also a fast slicer. 

EvoLogics is a company that makes Quadroin autonomous underwater drones designed for research of whirlpools and phytoplankton.The cases and components of these devices are produced using 3D printing technologies, and drones act as a swarm of fish. .

James Novak, the winner of the Trophy Design competition at 3D Printing Industry Awards, gave a detailed interview for the organizer’s website. We have collected and summed up the most interesting points about his experience in 3D printing and as a designer in general.

For one of its most recent design concepts, the renowned Teatro dell'Opera di Roma in Italy has sought the assistance of large-format 3D printer manufacturer WASP.

The set design was made for Daniel Auber's 1830 opera Fra Diavolo (Brother Devil). A tale of intrigue and tragic love, the scenes are played out before distorted buildings like those from surrealistic paintings by Salvador Dali.

WASP has concluded a partnership with fitness equipment manufacturer Technogym, which uses a Delta WASP 4070 Industrial 4.0 3D printer for prototyping its new equipment for fitness. (This model also has an improved version called Delta WASP 4070 Industrial X that features considerably higher print speeds.)

Technogym purchased the printer in order to reduce its maintenance costs and enable the creation of large prototype parts. The machine proved to be a great tool that shortens lead times, especially for large components. "We chose the Delta WASP 4070 INDUSTRIAL 4.0 system for many reasons, one of the most important is certainly its large print volume feasibility," Technogym explained. "We also appreciate its printing speed and the much lower cost of support-materials, which allows us to buy more material spools and make more tests."
