Every discipline and "domain" has its own unique jargon, vocabulary – including slang, acronyms, and more – and associated concepts. This is as true for cooking (e.g., sautee, carmelize, roue), baseball ("bases loaded," etc.), and the like.
The world of golf club design has dramatically expanded and progressed over the past 20 years. High expectations for design skills coupled with the increasing influence of modern technology within club design and the sport as a whole make this an industry of continual flux and revolution.

Lite Plus has some great things to say about the entries for their battery design challenge and for the top-notch interactions they had with the GrabCAD Community. We saw some tough questions, beautiful designs, and lots of thoughtful work from our GrabCADrs!
We are happy to share that we have paired up with Nokia to give our Community the chance to dream up some cool accessories for the Lumia 820. They are brainstorming what they could create to take advantage of their new wireless charging system and need your help. What do you imagine?
Lite Plus developed a lightweight Lithium-ion 12v starter battery for spirited driving, longevity and performance. In our newest design challenge, they need you to create two new casings for their Lithium-ion 12V car battery! Join us in rethinking the battery.
GrabCAD recently had the opportunity to speak at the latest Design for Manufacturing Summit in Brooklyn. NY. The intimate setting of mostly small to medium companies in the design and manufacturing industries made for honest and interesting panels. It is clear to our team that the point of 3D content is to help designers and engineers get real work done and real products made. We were glad to be included in the discussion around 3D printing, scanning and modeling so we could share this message with others.
Josh's tweet about one particular office chair from Haworth (pictured below) got me thinking about this vital piece of equipment in our lives these days. I work behind a desk at least 8 hours a day, often continuing at home so ergonomics, flexibility and comfort are pretty high up on wish requirements list for a proper work chair.
The ones we have in GrabCAD's office are fairly… modest affairs to put it mildly. Hey, we're a startup, we'll get to the nice stuff a bit later. Before joining GrabCAD I enjoyed Herman Miller's wonderful model Mirra at Skype. And even further back went through a variety of fairly crappy chairs. Sadly, my lower back also disagreed with them.
Point is - chairs matter. Their design, functionality, ergonomics and durability matters. Dug around the internets for a couple of noteworthy chairs and glad to see that there's a decent choice if you're looking for something good for your posture and body and care about the looks too.
