Autodesk, Inc. announced the launch of Tinkerplay, a free* app designed for kids of all ages that introduces creative play through 3D design and 3D printing. The Tinkerplay app is based on the popular Modio app, which Autodesk previously acquired, and will join the Tinkercad family of products. The Tinkerplay app allows users to design and customize characters and creatures digitally with the option to 3D print afterwards. The 3D printed parts can also be snapped together for dynamic play. With this launch, new parts, features and functionality have been added to make the world of 3D design simple, fun and engaging. “Creators, designers and makers from ages five to ninety, have blown us away with their passion for 3D modeling and 3D printing,” said Samir Hanna, vice president and general manager, Autodesk Consumer and 3D Printing. “With Tinkerplay, we’re providing another great tool designed for kids of all ages who want to

Victoria Footwear, the Spanish designer and manufacturer of men’s, women’s and children’s footwear, has selected Centric Software to provide its product lifecycle management (PLM) software. Victoria joins Camper, Cortefiel, MANGO and Mascaró as Centric’s fifth Spanish customer, and third Spanish footwear customer. Victoria chose Centric 8 because of Centric’s reputation in the industry, experience with other European footwear makers, and the expertise of the company’s staff, says Liborio Sevilla, CEO of Victoria. “The solution is visually attractive and flexible enough to support the continuous changes that happen between collections.” The Centric 8 PLM software will complement an enterprise resource planning (ERP) project Victoria implemented over the past two years, adds Sevilla. “The ERP software does not help in the management of creative design. Centric 8 will help manage the ‘creative chaos’ at Victoria in a positive, directed way and let creative staff stay focused on creativity.” The Centric 8 PLM software will allow Victoria

Omnify Software today announces that LoneStart Heart, Inc., a developer of cardiac restorative therapies for patients with heart failure that harness the heart's ability to repair itself, has reported cost-savings of up to $80,000 within the first year of deploying Empower PLM. LoneStar Heart was looking to gain efficiencies in product design and development by replacing their paper-based document control processes with an electronic system. As a developmental stage start-up, they wanted a cost-effective, cloud-based solution that would scale as the company grew. To meet Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements, the solution also had to adhere to FDA 21 CFR Part 11 guidelines for electronic records and electronic signatures and with plans to allow external partners such as consultants, development partners and suppliers access to necessary documentation, they wanted customizable role-based user access controls.  "Our existing IT infrastructure was cloud-based so naturally when we were looking for a PLM system we wanted it
