关于客户
HardMarque 是一家位于澳大利亚的数字设计和制造工作室。该公司致力于创建“未来工厂”，即增材制造设施，专注于准时生产和交付通过互联网订购的定制零件。 HardMarque 认为，这种类型的创新对于澳大利亚制造业的未来至关重要，有助于该国摆脱传统制造业的限制，打入新市场。该公司的总监 Nicholas Hardman 是一位长期 CAD 用户，他发现使用 SolidThinking Inspire 和 Evolve 进行概念生成和设计细化具有巨大价值。
挑战
HardMarque 是一家数字设计和制造工作室，面临着重新构想当前活塞设计流程的挑战。我们的目标是制造出一种不仅比当前版本更轻而且同样坚固的活塞。这是一个重大挑战，因为它需要在减轻重量和维持强度之间取得平衡，而这是汽车发动机性能和效率的关键因素。挑战还延伸到新设计与增材制造设备的集成，这一过程需要精度以及与所选材料钛的兼容性。
解决方案
HardMarque 整合了利用solidThinking Inspire 和Evolve 进行概念开发和设计完善的流程。设计过程从现有活塞开始进行基准测试。活塞的测量结果用于在 Evolve 中创建初始设计空间。创建设计空间后，将模型导出到 Inspire 进行概念生成。活塞设计采用了精确的负载条件，考虑了膨胀燃烧气体产生的力和油压对气缸壁产生的侧向力。活塞的理想形状是根据这些负载情况生成的。然后将该形状导入 Evolve 中，以解释最终的活塞设计，该设计是使用钛增材制造技术制造的。

Smart Water Filtration Systems
Before working with Ayla Networks, Ozner was already using cloud connectivity to identify and solve water-filtration system malfunctions as well as to monitor filter cartridges for replacements.But, in June 2015, Ozner executives talked with Ayla about how the company might further improve its water systems with IoT technology. They liked what they heard from Ayla, but the executives needed to be sure that Ayla’s Agile IoT Platform provided the security and reliability Ozner required.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
