The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) has announced that Inspec, its database indexing cutting-edge science and engineering research, has reached 13 million records. Cementing Inspec's position as one of the most extensive sources of engineering research in the world, the milestone has been hit with an important piece of medical technology research, highlighting the IET's commitment to making essential, high quality scientific and technological intelligence available worldwide.
The paper, 'Quantitative assessments of geometric errors for rapid prototyping in media applications,' looks at the geometric accuracy of Rapid Prototyping models, a major issue in medical applications, and proposes an innovative new method to measure accuracy. The article is authored by a team of researchers from the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile in Santiago, Chile, and has appeared in ISI-ranked Rapid Prototyping Journal, published by Emerald Group Publishing.
In addition to the quality of content made available, Inspec has worked to ensure its database provides precisely the kind of service its subscribers expect. Unlike free web sources, Inspec's indexing takes into account everything from chemical substance to numerical data, making searches far more precise and allowing researchers to drill down and retrieve specific information far quicker than previously possible.
