Here's an interesting article that posted to the Nikon Metrology blog on SURVICE Engineering's efforts to develop metrology tools and methodology related to BRL-CAD:
http://blog.nikonmetrology.com/2011/01/06/integrating-ultrasonic-data- collection-and-analysis-with-igps-scanning-system-2/ The "Archer" graphics package they developed for their Phase I SBIR (Small Business Innovative Research) effort is the same toolset that was contributed to BRL-CAD as open source back in 2005. A *lot* has changed since then, but the article provides an interesting perspective showing how seemingly unrelated needs can be collaboratively developed through open source. The BRL-CAD developers have been building on that initial Archer effort for our next generation geometry modeling interface since 2005 and we're now quickly approaching an alpha development status. Stay tuned for announcements where we actively solicit community feedback. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ BRL-CAD Users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/brlcad-users
