Mazda Motor Corporation has signed ProSTEP iViP’s Code of PLM Openness (CPO). In addition to Isuzu Motors, it is the third Japanese automobile manufacturer to sign the CPO within a week. Toyota’s participation has made one thing very clear: The drive toward increased openness in PLM is becoming stronger. Additional Japanese car manufacturers are expected to commit to the CPO initiative soon as well. Another sign of how important a particular concept is on the market is the position taken by the world’s major IT firms regarding the concept. IBM, for example, one of the leading global IT corporations, has recognized the importance of the CPO for itself and its new PLM activities, and has also signed the CPO. Increased openness and less integration work save money and make work easier – not only for users, but for software providers and integrators as well. Nearly 80 companies from America, Asia, and Europe

CNC Software, Inc., developers of Mastercam CAD/CAM software, is one of the two initial underwriters of Purdue University's MSTEM3 Grant Initiative. This grant is aimed at changing youngsters' perception of manufacturing through eduFACTOR, Edge Factor’s high impact multimedia resource. CNC Software has underwritten $50,000 to help increase the number of schools that can take advantage of the grant. The Gene Haas Foundation has contributed $250,000. Because of the grant, upper elementary and high schools can qualify for eduFACTOR's suite of products for as little as $99 per year. "We have been a supporter and believer in Edge Factor's productions since they started making exciting films featuring compelling, true stories about manufacturing four years ago," said Meghan West, Operations Manager at CNC Software, Inc.

Delcam is to be part of a consortium of UK companies to be lead by GKN Aerospace in a 3½ year, £13.4 million research and development programme called Horizon (AM) that builds on GKN Aerospace’s extensive and fast-developing capability in additive manufacturing. The Horizon (AM) team includes GKN Aerospace, Renishaw, Delcam, and the Universities of Sheffield and Warwick.  The programme is backed by the UK’s Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) and funded jointly by industry and the UK Government’s Technology Strategy Board (TSB). The project is part of a major investment of £154 million in research projects to keep the UK as a world leader in aerospace innovation that was announced by the Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, during his visit to 2014 Farnborough International Air Show. Horizon (AM) will take a number of promising additive manufacturing (AM) techniques from research and development through to viable production processes, able to create components that could

As part of its ongoing efforts to advance its people-centric cultural initiatives, Barry-Wehmiller has named long-term team member Rhonda Spencer its first ever Chief People Officer. Bob Chapman, Chairman and CEO of the Clayton-based capital equipment and engineering solutions provider, says the creation of the senior executive position will further the company’s vision of “sending people home safe, healthy and fulfilled.

C3D Labs is pleased to announce design firm Solar Tech as their first customer in East Asia. The South Korean company licensed the C3D geometric kernel for Quick CADCAM, its flagship software product for computer-aided design and manufacturing. The initial prototype of the updated C3D-based software package has now been released and is being demonstrated to the company's customers. The commercial launch of the Quick CADCAM is scheduled for later this year. The software will be available in English, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese. In addition, Solar Tech has become a reseller of C3D in Korea, China, and Japan. In-house experts at the Korean firm will be responsible for sales, marketing, and basic technical support of the kernel's customers. In July, a delegation from C3D Labs arrived in Seoul to conduct training for Solar Tech's developers and sales managers. In addition, meetings were held with potential customers, such as local CAD developers and representatives

Nemetschek Allplan can look back with pride on its 30 years of software experience in the AECM sector (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Management) and Building Information Modeling (BIM). The year 1984 represents a turning point in the development of Allplan, for it is when a version of the current BIM solution first appeared. It marked a move away from the drawing board and a step into the digital world of 3D planning.  A crucial development to the BIM solution came in 1986 with the first integrated system for architects and engineers that took construction semantics into account. The company founder, Professor Georg Nemetschek, explained in an interview: “I believe that information technology is the solution that will allow us to transfer the digital world that the architect has in their head into the structure, without any loss of data. I think that two things will emerge in future: the actual structure and

Core Solutions today announced that it has signed an agreement with Berkshire Blanket Inc. to implement CORE’s CBX software as the common platform to support the company’s product development. Berkshire Blanket is the largest designer and importer of consumer blankets in the United States, selling its products through retailers around the world and also through online channels. The company had no automated systems to manage product development and was facing issues with numerous spreadsheets, manual material library and an inability to collaborate effectively internally. CBX will help Berkshire create and maintain their collections, including color, size, bill of material, packaging and quality requirements. Social collaboration and critical path management features will also be employed to enable effective communication and timely product development. “We chose CBX based on their strong experience supporting retailers and brands like us in the design and development of apparel and other soft goods products,” said Dick Horner, CFO at

From an infant car seat that auto-levels and tensions to a cell phone-charging baby stroller, 4moms® is revolutionizing the $8.9 billion baby gear market with some help from ANSYS. 4moms is an innovative juvenile products company that has redefined the industry through the use of advanced robotics. As demand continues to increase, the company must drive its innovative products to market faster – while ensuring safety for infants and affordability for their parents. So the company uses ANSYS engineering simulation solutions to create virtual prototypes of its products, reducing time and money, without sacrificing safety. "4moms is smart and agile in the development of our products," said Robert Terhune, mechanical engineer at 4moms. "ANSYS is a perfect complement to our product development process. With ANSYS, we can create certain prototypes in the computer instead of in the real world. That gives us accurate predictive answers so we can physically prototype with confidence, making the entire development process
