New 3D Chips Could Make Electronics Faster, More Energy-Efficient
Adam Zewe
The advanced semiconductor material gallium nitride (GaN) will likely be key for the next generation of high-speed communication systems and the power electronics needed for state-of-the-art data centers. Unfortunately, the high cost of GaN and the specialization required to incorporate this semiconductor material into conventional electronics have limited its use in commercial applications. Now…

Streamlined Transition From Scan to CAD
Creaform

Streamlining the transition from scan to CAD involves selecting the right tool set for reverse engineering. However, many software platforms force product designers to switch between multiple tools, disrupting their workflow and increasing the risk of errors. Furthermore, some advanced scan-to-CAD tools come with a steep learning curve, which can slow adoption and make reverse engineering less…
