PTC and GE Intelligent Platforms today announced the availability of the Proficy + PTC Windchill Solution, an integrated offering that includes both PTC Windchill® and GE Proficy® for Manufacturing Discrete software. Beginning immediately, customers can purchase the solution that can help manufacturers close the loop between product design and production execution on the factory floor. This closed-loop process capability ensures real time visibility between the key business systems that support engineering and manufacturing, which enables manufacturers to improve plant performance and quality, shorten production times and reduce – and optimize – work in progress (WIP) inventories. Manufacturers are currently undergoing a transformation driven by digitization of the manufacturing process, “lean” streamlining of operations, and increased regulatory pressures on product quality. In addition, manufacturers are recognizing the value of Master Data Management to protect the fidelity of the data generated and exchanged between the core systems of record - enterprise resource planning (ERP), product lifecycle management

The latest release of Delcam’s ArtCAM Pro CADCAM software for artistic applications in signmaking makes now much easier to create complex designs, with a new approach called interactive distortion modelling.  This allows users to distort either vectors or reliefs within ArtCAM models by bending or stretching the design.  See the results in real time on stand M30 at the Sign & Digital exhibition to be held at the NEC, Birmingham, from 29th April to 1st May. Unlike most other CADCAM systems, ArtCAM Pro is aimed at skilled artisans rather than engineers and requires little knowledge of engineering or computing.  It has been particularly successful in the signmaking, woodworking and engraving industries.  In these areas and in other artistic applications, ArtCAM Pro allows users to increase productivity, improve quality and deliver new designs more quickly, by combining their craft skills and creativity with the power and precision of computer-aided manufacturing. The addition of
