The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute spring 2016 exhibition, Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology, officially opened last week on the 5th of May. It explores how designers are reconciling the handmade with the machine-made in fashion, and among the machine-made creations are numerous pieces resulting from collaborations between Materialise and Iris van Herpen with Julia Koerner and Daniel Widrig, as well as threeASFOUR with Bradley Rothenberg.

According to Materialise’s Creative Director, Joris Debo, “The key to truly innovative 3D printed fashion is not the printing process itself, but the co-creative process that proceeds...

CCE, a leading provider in advanced interoperability technology and engineering services, has found that the BOM tool, in EnSuite-View, has sparked a huge interest, making it one of the most widely-used tools by avid users.

The BOM tool, in EnSuite-View, can be used to view the bill of materials within assemblies and displays the following information:

• All unique parts, with number of occurrences in the assembly, and their metadata.
• Any unique part, as well as all the transformations of that part available within the assembly.

Many different operations can be performed while using the BOM tool, including:

• A sub-assembly can...
