ModuleWorks announces the 2025.04 release of its software components for digital manufacturing. This latest release of the ModuleWorks SDK includes new and enhanced features designed to enhance process safety, improve toolpath generation efficiency, and increase part quality. Multi-Axis Edge Finishing - Deburring User-Defined Edge Sequence With automatic sorting, it is often difficult to meet the deburring requirements of each part because the predefined order does not always match the specific needs of the job. The ModuleWorks 2025.04 release introduces a practical alternative to automatic sorting: Users can now preserve the input order of the curves, and the resulting toolpath is sorted accordingly. This gives users more flexibility, enabling them to machine edges in their preferred sequence to improve overall machining efficiency and precision.  Multi-Axis Edge Finishing - Deburring Automatic Machining Direction Previously, determining the appropriate machining direction for 3- and 4-axis toolpaths often led to suboptimal ordering, resulting in discontinuous toolpaths. ModuleWorks 2025.04 contains a new option called

Parallel Architectural Products, a leading provider of innovative architectural materials for commercial and residential projects, has announced a partnership with BIMsmith, the leading product research platform for building professionals, for the development of new Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools for architects, designers, and other building professionals. The partnership includes a set of new Building Information Modeling (BIM) product models for Parallel’s range of architectural surface materials and design solutions. These digital models contain key data representing geometric and aesthetic properties, supporting more accurate early-stage design. Each model is natively built for Autodesk Revit, the global leader in BIM design software. The collaboration also makes Parallel’s products available on BIMsmith Market, the leading cloud platform used by architects and engineers to conduct building product research and download Revit content. “Designers are always searching for materials that offer both performance and beauty,” said Erin Patrick, Marketing Design Manager at Parallel Architectural Products. “By offering BIM

In the future, the EU will require a digital product passport (DPP) for a large number of products. The DDP provides information about the components, materials and substances used in a product and how the product can be repaired, recycled and disposed of. PROSTEP does not only support the creation of DDPs but, as part of the Decide4ECO project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWiK), has also developed an AI-based chatbot that makes this information available more quickly. At Hanover Trade Fair in Hanover, Germany, PROSTEP demonstrated how easy it is to find information in the DPP using the chatbot. Many companies will in the future be facing the challenge of using their numerous different data sources to generate a transparent digital product passport that is always up-to-date. This is because, from 2027 onwards, the EU Ecodesign Regulation will require them to record, manage and, if necessary, share

The new VOLTA and modeFRONTIER 2025R2 Release is now available. VOLTA introduces metadata template import and export, simplifying metadata management. modeFRONTIER comes with MUSA, a new multi-strategy island-based algorithm designed to enhance the exploration and exploitation capabilities of traditional metamodeling and optimization techniques. Release highlights Build your own optimization approach with the new MUSA multi-strategy island-based algorithm The MUSA algorithm now available in modeFRONTIER offers a new way to create custom design optimization approaches by combining diverse traditional metamodeling and optimization techniques. Its island-based architecture divides the optimization process into subpopulations (islands), each running distinct algorithms. This capability enables you to select and integrate a variety of modeFRONTIER’s algorithms — such as genetic, gradient-based methods, or response surface models — into a customized strategy. By doing so, you can significantly enhance the effectiveness and potential of your design optimization approach. By integrating a synergistic approach with parallel processing facilitated by the island structure,
