VariCAD is a 3D/2D CAD system for mechanical engineering. In addition to standard tools for 3D modeling and 2D drafting, the CAD system provides support for parameters and geometric constraints, tools for shells, pipelines, sheet metal unbending and crash tests, assembly support, libraries of standard mechanical parts (ANSI, DIN) and symbols, mechanical part calculations and tools for working with bills of materials (BOM) and title blocks. VariCAD supports STEP, STL, IGES, DWG and DXF file formats. The comprehensive CAD software enables designers to quickly create, evaluate, and modify their models. It is compact, fast, easy to use, and provides everything one needs for mechanical design. The CAD system is sold "fully loaded", including all features and functions, for one affordable price.

* VERTICAL MOTION SIMULATOR
At the Ames Research Center in San Jose, Calif., NASA has built one of the largest three-dimensional motion simulators in the world. Consisting of a simulated airplane cockpit that sits on top of a platform supported by a number of hydraulic pistons, this machine is housed in a 120-foot-high, 73-foot-wide and 36-foot-deep building. Matt will live his childhood dream by sitting in the astronaut's seat and guided by a pilot, he will experience a real-life simulation of the space shuttle's re-entry.
* BLAST HOLE DRILL
Back at the Aitik Mine in Gallivare, Sweden, Matt gets down and dirty and hops on board the 70-foot-tall, 340,000-pound machine that can bore into the earth to depths of 500 feet and below. Matt supports the crew in mapping out the drill pattern, drilling the hole and filling the blast holes with liquid explosives. Blasts usually consist of 200 to 300 holes, each hole containing one ton of explosives. Matt will have the power to blast up to 300 holes at once.
* LBT TELESCOPE
Matt Rogers accompanies a team of astronomers to visit the world's highest concentration of observatories pointing at the universe in Safford, Ariz. He will introduce viewers to the world's largest binocular telescope. Housed in an 18-story-high building, the telescope has side-by-side twin mirrors, each measuring 28 feet. With the collaboration of the United States and European countries, the construction of this machine was no small feat. The $100 million facility will help astronomers to see objects far deeper into space, surpassing the visuals from the Hubble Space Telescope.

DotImage and its add-ons provide processing and conversion for image and PDF formats. Using our SDK, you can easily add these features to your .NET applications, and deploy them to desktops royalty-free, or to servers with a per-server license. DotImage can be used as the basis for the image or PDF conversion features of your application. Using DotImage (or add-ons) you can read or write PDF, TIFF, PNG, JPEG, and many other common image formats. For specialty applications like medical imaging or engineering, we can read and convert DICOM, DWG, or DXF. We are also compatible with the .NET Bitmap class, so you can use any built-in .NET Codec combined with DotImage to complete the conversion.
