Atos, an international leader in digital, launches an innovative new cloud-based Data Loss Prevention Service.  This cyber security service prevents data loss, whether it be from unauthorized insider activity or external threats including advanced malware. Atos also announced that it is working in close partnership with Digital Guardian to offer this solution—a one-of-a-kind service in Europe. Companies are increasingly threatened by both insider threats and by advanced malware. A single incident can have catastrophic consequences, including loss of revenue, negative publicity and reduced brand equity.  In today’s massively interconnected world, it is increasingly difficult to protect confidential information—but Atos’ Data Loss Prevention service helps to do just that.  It does so by combining the advantages of both data loss prevention and advanced malware detection using Digital Guardian’s unique single agent technology. Since it is cloud-based, Atos’ Data Loss Prevention Service is deliverable anywhere in the world.  This enables rapid deployment, scalability and a

AVEVA invests in fabrication management software for structural steel fabricators AVEVA announced that it has agreed to acquire FabTrol Systems, Inc. ('FabTrol') from the Dowco Group of Companies ('Dowco').  The acquisition is expected to complete Friday 26 June 2015.  FabTrol is a software business, headquartered in Eugene, Oregon with operations in North America and the United Kingdom, providing fabrication management software to the steel fabrication industry.  The combination of the FabTrol software together with AVEVA Everything3D™, which is already integrated with AVEVA Bocad™ structural steel detailing software, creates a powerful design, detailing and fabrication solution.  The FabTrol software expands AVEVA’s fabrication portfolio and provides integration across the steel fabrication value chain.  At the centre of the FabTrol software is a highly versatile estimating, material management and production control solution designed to automate and integrate key operations for steel fabrication companies. The benefits of the FabTrol software include faster bid preparation, more accurate and consistent

Tech Soft 3D today announced a new integration between its market-leading HOOPS Exchange technology and Siemens’ Parasolid® software to help developers enhance data re-use by providing easy access to a broad range of CAD formats. Tech Soft 3D worked closely with Siemens PLM Software to deliver an integrated product that helps developers leverage the full breadth of Parasolid functionality, even when working with imported data. The integration accomplishes this in a few key ways: Models of any supported format are loaded into Parasolid through a single API. All CAD applications based on Parasolid, including applications such as NX™ software, Solid Edge® software and SOLIDWORKS software have geometry natively imported without any kind of translation, so data remains pristine. For applications not based on Parasolid, the integration uses advanced functionality within Parasolid to map the CAD data format to a valid Parasolid model. This phase resolves issues such as inconsistent tolerances, sliver faces and geometric discontinuities,

Geometric  releases CAMWorks Costing (http://www.camworks.com/costing), an add-on module to its existing, flagship CNC programming software, CAMWorks. It is ideal for improving the speed and efficiency while responding to RFQs (Requests for quote) in a machine shop. CAMWorks Costing speeds up the estimation process and generates accurate quotes within minutes, enabling shop owners to confidently respond to much higher number of RFQs. For most shops, the estimating process can be highly time consuming and requires special expertise that only a shop owner or senior machinist may possess.  In addition, most estimates involve a lot of guesswork, risking profitability or losing jobs. To address these challenges, Geometric introduces CAMWorks Costing which simplifies and standardizes the estimation process for machine shops. CAMWorks Costing automatically recognizes machine like features in a job, including the ones that can be easily missed but can add significant cost to a job, like fillets, drafts, undercuts or odd angled holes. This significantly

Docupoint announces the release of DrawingSearcherTM 2015, the latest version of the company’s simple-to-use and innovative CAD search engine for CAD drawings across an organizations entire enterprise. DrawingSearcher 2015 extends its availability to Bentley Systems MicroStation community, making available a vast CAD population that was previously unable to index and search their CAD files through the DrawingSearcher search engine. With the inclusion of MicroStation indexing, DrawingSearcher 2015 is now available for users of the two largest CAD formats MicroStation and AutoCAD as well as for all Microsoft Office and Adobe PDF and database files. Having market-leading formats fully supported enables even more users to save time, money, and resources by quickly and easily searching their entire CAD drawing archive. DrawingSearcher searches based on any word, phrase, or alpha-numeric text or number within all stored CAD files using basic search terms, as well as broad Boolean parameters. The 2015 release offers additional improvements

A momentous scientific discovery was recently uncovered in Kenya – the oldest stone tools known to man.  The tools date back to 3.3 million years ago and push back the beginning of the archaeological record by more than a half million years.  These historical findings are detailed in an article published last week in Nature Magazine (May 20, 2015).  Now, through the power of Autodesk technology, people all around the world will have the chance to share in this major scientific discovery. Dr. Louise Leakey, in collaboration with Autodesk, used Memento technology to create high quality 3D digital replicas of the stone tool artifacts, for preservation, education and further research. Memento is Autodesk’s cutting-edge free software that enables users to convert photos or scans into 3D models to be optimized for the web or mobile viewing, or 3D printing.  Have a glimpse of the 3.3 million year old tools via Autodesk

Trimble announced today that two new BuildingPoint™ distribution partners have been established in the U.S.—BuildingPoint Florida and BuildingPoint Mid-America. These latest additions join the growing BuildingPoint network that provides focused sales and services with a portfolio of software and hardware solutions for the Design-Build-Operate (DBO) lifecycle of buildings. BuildingPoint distribution partners represent Trimble Buildings' solutions that allow users to create and transfer constructible models throughout the DBO lifecycle—from concept and design to the field and back to the office again.
