UK design firm Kinneir Dufort has created a machine that utilizes cutting edge technologies like facial recognition and 3D printing to create customized pancakes with images of real faces. As with added 3D printing, the machine squirts the batter on a griddle layer by layer, in order to create different shades based on how long the level has been exposed to the heat.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
