Procedural texturing is a technique that can be used to generate surface textures for a variety of applications. This article will guide you through the steps involved in generating and applying a roughness texture, along with three other natural surface treatments: leather, wood, and marble.
In this episode, we talk about a new machine learning model developed by NIST to predict flashover in burning buildings and protect firefighters, NASA’s new ultrasonic additive manufacturing approach, and an affordable, high performance athletic prosthetic.
Many manufacturers in the aerospace, transportation and power generation industry, such as Austrian manufacturer ANDRITZ, require carrying out quality control inspections on large parts that can measure anywhere from 2 to 10 metres—and even bigger.
