Geometric Limited will premier CAMWorks Virtual Machine along with the latest version of its programming solution, CAMWorks® 2014, at DIEMOULD INDIA 2014 in Mumbai, India from April 17-20, 2014. CAMWorks Virtual Machine enables users to verify the true G-code, not only the CL data, and save precious shop floor time by checking on complex machine settings, sub-programs, canned cycles and work offsets in a virtual environment. This allows the user to preview the entire machining process and make any necessary changes or adjustments before the part goes to the shop floor, preventing time-consuming errors and costly collisions; thus, potentially saving hundreds of hours for our customers and ensuring manufacture of parts right the first time. In addition, it is integrated completely with CAMWorks, making it a single-click verification and easy to use. Visitors at DieMould India will get an opportunity to connect with solutions experts and learn how they can minimize their

PDF3D have been busy this spring with yet another feature development. This time, the 3D developers have enhanced their ParaView derived product PV+ which now enables COMSOL users to easily create interactive 3D reports in Adobe's PDF. COMSOL, which was released by Comsol Multiphysics in 1998, allows professionals who work with structural mechanics, electromagnetics, fluid flow, heat transfer, MEMS and acoustics to visually manage their workflow using COMSOL Multiphysics analysis software. COMSOL users are currently able to create screen shots and movie files that can be shared with others however, to get real 3D interaction in a report, the pathways to do this are rare, which is where PDF3D's PV+ comes in. "We've developed two main pathways for COMSOL Multiphysics to enable 3D PDF Report generation," explained Ian Curington of PDF3D, "the first of these uses a customized and extended version of ParaView which contains a COMSOL format loader and a large library
