Cadence Design Systems Inc., San Jose CA, has unveiled five new OrCAD products and three key feature updates as it marks 30-years of continued design and innovation of the software brand. The expanded OrCAD portfolio enables greater product creation efficiency by delivering additional high-speed design capabilities that address productivity and time-to-market challenges. The new products and key features focus on increasing designers’ productivity by reducing design cycle time and facilitating more advance designs via additional high-speed capabilities. New products include: OrCAD Component Information Portal provides users with CIS database management capabilities and integrated access to parametric component data through an interactive, web interface directly within the OrCAD Capture CIS product. OrCAD DFM Checker provides a comprehensive set of manufacturing/fabricationcentric checks for OrCAD PCB Editor. The OrCAD DFM fabrication checks can be run at any time during PCB place and route to help ensure that no fabrication-related issues are present, helping designers avoid fabrication-related delays,

Delcam will demonstrate the latest developments in machining with both machine tools and robots on booth B55 in Hall 6 at the Paris Air Show to be held at Le Bourget from 15th to 21st June.  Programs on show will include PowerMILL for high-speed and five-axis machining, and FeatureCAM for quick and easy feature-based CAM programming.  Delcam’s PowerSHAPE Pro software for reverse engineering and PowerINSPECT inspection software will also be demonstrated in Paris. The latest release of PowerMILL includes improvements to the Vortex high-efficiency area-clearance strategy, developments in toolpath simulation and verification, improved collision checking to also cover near misses, and more efficient raster finishing, area clearance and drilling, plus more options for customisation by users.    Complete verification, covering cutting moves, leads and links, and tool changes, can now be undertaken of a PowerMILL project for machine-tool issues such as collisions, saving considerable time compared to undertaking verification of each individual toolpath

ANSYS  customers can now deploy consistent enterprise-specific simulation workflows and data to more engineers, regardless of geographic location or business unit with today's launch of ANSYS® 16.1 and ANSYS® Enterprise Cloud™. ANSYS unveils ANSYS Enterprise Cloud The new solution, running on Amazon Web Services (AWS), simplifies and accelerates the transition to cloud-based simulation by providing a reference architecture for end-to-end simulation that can be deployed within days – minimizing risk while boosting productivity. Customers who adopt the ANSYS Enterprise Cloud can scale their simulation capacity – including infrastructure and software assets – on demand, in response to changing business requirements, optimizing efficiency and cost while responding to the growing demand for wider use of the technology. "HGST sees the use of cloud computing as an important paradigm shift, providing increased business agility and the capacity when and where we need it," said Steve Phillpott, chief information officer of HGST, Inc. "We are impressed

aPriori, a provider of enterprise product cost management solutions, today announced that its software platform has been selected by Komatsu’s European Technical Center located at Komatsu Hanomag GmbH. The European subsidiary of Komatsu Ltd. will implement the aPriori solution to provide its design teams with a fast, repeatable and consistent method to estimate product costs from the earliest stages of new product design.  Komatsu expects the increased cost visibility to help it meet new product cost targets while also accelerating product development cycles, producing higher quality products and increasing profitability. “By deploying aPriori, we’re providing our engineering team with the detailed cost information they need to develop more cost-effective products for our customers,” said Joerg Hermanns, Deputy General Manager at Komatsu Hanomag.  “This will also reduce the amount of value engineering required after a product goes to market, further enhancing the productivity of our design teams and profitability of our company.” Initially,

3D Systems Corporation announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2015. For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the company reported revenue of $160.7 million, an increase of 9% over the comparable quarter in 2014, or a 17% increase on a constant currency basis. The company reported a GAAP loss of $0.12 per share and non-GAAP earnings of $0.05 per share. The company believes that negative currency headwinds and demand weakness attributed to several other macroeconomic factors resulted in lower than expected purchases of its 3D printers and materials by aerospace, automotive and healthcare customers during the quarter. Furthermore, the company reported that certain metal and nylon applications and performance issues delayed its ability to sell additional printers during the first quarter of 2015. Combined, these factors reduced sales of the company's design and manufacturing printers and materials and resulted in a decline in organic revenue of 7% compared to total

Infor today announced that KPIT Technologies Limited has expanded its existing relationship with Infor to become an Infor Alliance partner. Headquartered in India, KPIT will focus on the delivery of Infor CloudSuiteTM Industrial (SyteLine), Infor XA, Infor Warehouse Management (WMS), Infor IONTM and Infor M3 to customers across Asia. In 2013, KPIT joined the Infor Partner Network (IPN) as an Infor Channel partner, reselling and providing support for Infor business applications. This collaboration allowed Infor to strengthen its presence in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. As an Infor Alliance partner, KPIT is valued for its thought leadership, industry knowledge and extensive experience and understanding of Infor's industry-specific applications. The enhanced partnership between KPIT and Infor will span India, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Australia, with a focus on the manufacturing, fashion, equipment, and food and beverage markets. "KPIT has experienced great success and satisfaction through our partnership with Infor over the past two

Altair has today announced that its product development group, Altair ProductDesign, has reached a new milestone having expanded to more than 800 engineering and design staff across the world. This represents a 100% increase in staff numbers during the last 10 years. The growth has been fuelled by a combination of expansion into new territories, diversification into new industry sectors, the acquisition of a number of large engineering programs in the automotive and aerospace markets and the huge success of the company's onsite technical staffing business. Altair, which is currently celebrating its 30th year in business this year, began life as a product development consultancy in Michigan, US. Although the company is now perhaps best known for its HyperWorks suite of simulation tools, the Altair ProductDesign group remains a significant and growing part of the business. The group now stands at over 100 engineers in Europe, more than 200 in Asia and

' CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces that Inphi’s Director of Technology, Dr. Robb Johnson, will make a presentation at PLM Road Map™ for the High Tech Electronics (HTE) Community. The event will take place on June 16th at the Biltmore Hotel & Suites in Santa Clara, California. Inphi designs and manufactures high-speed, mixed signal semiconductor components for the optical, networking, and memory interconnect platforms. Inphi uses Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software to manage traditional PLM functions like new product development, bill of materials, and document management. However, Inphi has gone beyond the traditional application and uses PLM to manage a wide variety of non-traditional processes including legal and contract management, asset and equipment management, quality management, supplier management, and training. In his presentation, “Doing PLM in a BIG Way,” Johnson will offer insight into the reasons why Inphi decided to adopt a company-wide PLM solution.
