Leading custom prototyping and low-volume parts manufacturer, Proto Labs, Inc. has teamed up with Autodesk to provide easy access to Proto Labs’ online quoting system directly within Autodesk’s Fusion 360. This software integration will go live with a late-July release of the Fusion 360 application update.  “This is the first step in what we expect to be a successful combination of our tech-driven manufacturing services and Autodesk’s advanced Fusion 360 CAD software,” says Proto Labs’ VP and GM of the Americas, Rob Bodor. “We want to give product designers and engineers increasingly easy access to pricing and part analysis so they can quickly manufacture parts to test and iterate design during product development.” By clicking the Proto Labs logo within Fusion 360, users will be able to get an interactive quote with manufacturability analysis, for injection molding or CNC machining, within a few hours. The analysis highlights potential manufacturability issues allowing design

Gerber Technology’s integrated speed and accuracy of the Taurus II cutter with the enhanced workflow technology of CutWorks® 9 software can result in an up to 12 percent increase in hide cutting throughput for manufacturers. This means an increase of as much as one hide per hour with a high level of accuracy and expanded yield potential, said Tom Gordon, director of product management with Gerber Technology. Using CutWorks 9 with the Taurus II cutter results in a maximum hide yield, Gordon said. The Taurus II produces the maximum throughput with a single image hide capture, further reducing time and increasing accuracy. Taurus IIs computerized nesting engine is 250 times more powerful than previous offerings, mapping hides and flaws in seconds. The process is enhanced by CutWorks 9s flaw detection feature, which maps flaws much more closely for an expanded yield per hide. In addition, the CutWorks 9 nesting package, in combination

Lectra recently held a seminar for Bangladesh suppliers of fashion retail chain H&M in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Organized in partnership with H&M and Lectra agent Aamra Resources, the two-day event addressed today's trends and market challenges, putting special emphasis on the importance of working collaboratively across the supply chain. Lectra experts demonstrated how synchronizing technology and process between brands and manufacturers can ensure a long-term, sustainable working relationship that is more efficient and profitable for both. More than 100 people from 51 different companies attended the seminar, which was held at the fashion retailer's Dhaka headquarters. Members of the H&M production team were also on hand to lend their support. The goal was to provide local industry players with insight into the challenges and priorities of a global retailer like H&M, whose production outsourcing to Bangladesh has steadily increased in recent years. This put attendees in a better position to make strategic business decisions that strengthen

CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm announces the release of the CIMdata PLM Industry Review and Trends Report, the second of five modules of the CIMdata 2015 Market Analysis Report Series. The MAR Series provides detailed information and in-depth analysis on the worldwide PLM market during 2014. It contains analyses of major trends and issues; revenues of leading PLM providers; and revenue analyses for geographical regions, industry sectors, and historical and projected data on market growth. The focus of the 2015 Trends report is on “Platforms for Innovation.” According to conventional wisdom companies thrive on innovation. Common practice is to use a strategic planning process to go from vision to mission to strategy. Depending on the industry, the approach necessary to meet strategic innovation objectives will vary. The focus could be new products, services, or processes; or a combination of strategic initiatives, with returns projected

ZWCAD Design today released ZWCAD Mechanical 2015 SP1, an update to its manufacturing specialized product featuring with many exciting new enhancements. From newly added batch plot to optimized style configuration, more DIN standard parts to some fixed bugs, this new version will bring optimized user experience to your workflow. Designers always prefer to draw multiple drawings in model space instead of using layout spaces. Plotting one drawing a time largely hinders them from improving their work efficiency, however, with batch  plot integrated, multiple drawings can be plotted from the model space at one time. Simply define the border for every drawing in the model space and select the entities that need to be plotted, then plot all selected entities within all borders to each page at a time, they will be printed instantly. When standard varies in different countries and dealing with tons of mechanical parts is a necessity  in mechanical design.

Synopsys, Inc today announced that automotive IC suppliers worldwide are standardizing on its manufacturing test solution to achieve their goals for lower defective parts per million (DPPM), reduced test costs associated with digital and mixed-signal designs, and in-system self-test to ensure functional safety. Semiconductor companies, including Dialog Semiconductor, Intersil Corporation, MegaChips Corporation, Micronas and others, have successfully deployed Synopsys synthesis-based test on their automotive ICs and shipped millions of devices. Adoption continues to grow rapidly as recent innovations in Synopsys' DFTMAX™ and TetraMAX® ATPG, such as pin-limited test compression, advanced fault models and logic built-in self-test, enable automotive IC suppliers to consistently achieve their quality, cost and safety goals on schedule. Designers of automotive ICs face three key challenging manufacturing test requirements. First, the tests must execute quickly to be cost-effective, even when few test pins are available. To minimize test time and cost for pin-limited and mixed-signal designs, DFTMAX Ultra

Aras today announced that Breton S.p.A., a leading global supplier of high-performance industrial machinery and manufacturing facilities, has extended its implementation of the Aras solution suite for enterprise PLM to realize the establishment of its agile product design environment. The Aras PLM implementation includes integrations to SAP ERP as well as Siemens Solid Edge and ThinkDesign CAD. Breton is using Aras for document management, technical BOM management, product knowledge management and configuration management. Leveraging the Aras platform, Breton has streamlined its quoting processes and gained fast prototyping with instant workflow modeling. This has led to a significantly higher win percentage during competitive bids and a 60 percent increase in design capacity. This is the result of having all product-related data in a single, easy-to-access, web-based system. In fact, the Aras system currently manages 7 terabytes of Breton data, including 150,000 parts, 250,000 CAD documents and 450,000 BOM relationships. With part release
