Advanced computer-aided design (CAD) modelling is a general prerequisite in 3D printing or Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes. Monte Carlo simulations, used to model the neutronic performance of an instrument, have 3-D representations of the instrument, but transferring this to CAD models is usually done by hand and is the most time-consuming and error prone part of the entire process...

To measure the crystal lattice distortion or the lifetime of weak interactions among quasiparticles, such as phonons, electrons and magnons, with high resolution, the key is to break the inverse relationship between the resolution and useable flux.

For direct geometry spectrometers time uncertainties of $ < 10 \mathrm{\mu s}$ are negligible for most measurements. However the ARCS and SEQUOIA instruments at the Spallation Neutron Source use a chopper that produces a time pulse as narrow as $5 \mathrm{\mu s}$ for the finest resolution measurements. Timing uncertainties $\sim 1\mathrm{\mu s}$ are important in this case. Furthermore...
