MathWorks announced that code generated from MATLAB and Simulink is now optimized for use across the ARM® Cortex®-A processor family. Embedded systems developers using ARM Cortex processors in the automotive, aerospace, signal processing and medical device industries can now automatically generate code, speeding execution time and reducing memory usage. This ability to generate optimized code helps small design teams extend Model-Based Design across applications and devices including motor control, power electronics, audio, and communications. Building on CMSIS library support for Cortex-R and Cortex-M cores, Embedded Coder now offers Ne10 DSP library support, which helps generate optimized DSP filter code for the full line of ARM Cortex-A processor-based devices. Simulink also offers built-in target support for ARM-based hardware devices including Altera SoC, BeagleBone Black, Xilinx Zynq, STMicroelectronics Discovery Board, and Freescale Freedom Board. Third-party integrations exist for other popular ARM-based devices including Texas Instruments Hercules and Analog Devices CMx40 hardware. Model-Based Design offers engineers three key benefits throughout the software and hardware

HP introduced its vision for the future of computing and 3D printing by unveiling its new Blended Reality ecosystem. Designed to break down the barriers between the digital and physical worlds, the ecosystem is underpinned by two key advancements: HP Multi Jet Fusion: A revolutionary technology engineered to resolve critical gaps in the combination of speed, quality and cost, and deliver on the potential of 3D printing.

Delcam will demonstrate the 2015 version of its PowerMILL CAM system for high-speed and five-axis machining at the Dongguan Mould & Metalworking exhibition to be held in Dongguan, China, from 14th to 17th November.  The new release includes improvements to the Vortex high-efficiency area-clearance strategy, improved collision checking to also cover near misses, better quality five-axis machining and more efficient raster finishing. The Vortex area-clearance strategy produces safe toolpaths with a much deeper cut by using a controlled engagement angle that maintains the optimum cutting conditions for the whole toolpath.  As a result, higher feed rates and material-removal rates are possible, making the cutting time shorter by as much as 70%.  In addition, cutting is undertaken at a more consistent volume-removal rate and at a near constant feed rate, so extending tool life and protecting the machine.  Two enhancements in PowerMILL 2015 will give even greater reductions in machining time with Vortex
