Fujitsu today announced the development of the FUJITSU Network 1FINITY platform, a new global category of network equipment spanning access, packet optical, and wireless technologies. It will be available in North America beginning in December, followed by a phased worldwide rollout. The 1FINITY platform enables quick construction of network environments while keeping upfront investment costs in check by using a new disaggregated architecture with independent blade modules for each function.

In addition to telecommunications customers, Fujitsu will offer this product to datacenter operators and a wide range of other customers.

In recent years, with rapid changes in the global network services market,...

Ametek Creaform’s VXinspect 3D inspection software includes the tools required for first article inspection (FAI) and quality control. This software provides simple integration for contact (probing) and non-contact (scanning) measurement in a variety of manufacturing applications, including rapid part-to-CAD inspections for preproduction adjustments and production part approval to control critical part dimensions. The dimensional inspection software is designed for use in combination with the company’s HandyProbe, MetraScan 3D and HandyScan 3D portable measurement devices.

VXinspect includes the functionality required to set up a high-efficiency measurement sequence to inspect multiple parts. An intuitive interface promotes efficient inspection workflow, maintaining measurement quality and...

A wax injection and mould tool manufacturer has recently invested in 5-axis technology to dramatically reduce production time.  

While researching 5-axis capability, Tooltech Director Mark Newcombe discovered that a job similar to one taking two days to complete with their 3-axis machines, was being done in 25 minutes on a 5-axis machining centre.

“Also at that time, we produced a tool with ten set-ups on the block as it had some extremely complex features on it, and it took us three weeks to manufacture. A 5-axis machine, programmed with Edgecam software’s 5-axis module would have completed it in a week, with only...

CS Odessa is proud to announce a new easy-to-use solution that allows individuals and teams to design and model systems. The Systems Modeling Language (SysML) solution for ConceptDraw is a general-purpose modeling language library designed to describe systems engineering applications. The SysML Solution supports the specification, analysis, design, confirmation and validation of a wide range of systems and systems-of-systems.
SysML origin can be traced to an open source specification project. SysML is an extension of a subset derived from the Unified Modeling Language (UML). SysML is designed to provide a standardized way to visualize a system design. The SysML Solution...

AVEVA announced today that AP Consultoria e Projetos (AP), a leading Engineering Design company in Brazil, has standardised on AVEVA software. AP has made the investment to move from using 2D drawings to designing in 3D using AVEVA PDMS in order to improve the efficiency of its design process and produce comprehensive plant models. It will also benefit from powerful 3D visualisation capabilities using AVEVA Review. With the deployment of the AVEVA software, AP will benefit from more accurate, higher quality design that avoids costly on-site rework and improved project delivery schedules. AP will use the AVEVA 3D design software...

Kenesto Corp today announced the enhancement of Kenesto Drive to include features traditionally only available through physical LAN mounted drives and Product Data Management (PDM) systems. These new features include the automatic locking of documents. For example, when a file from Kenesto Drive is opened for editing in Windows desktop, Kenesto Drive automatically locks it globally so that other users at any location can open it for Read-Only thereby preventing any unintentional overwrites. The file is automatically unlocked when closed. Kenesto Drive new enhancements include:

• Works just like a Local Area Network (LAN) shared drive
• Auto-locks a document...
