Arithmetica has significantly enhanced its Pointfuse automated point cloud processing software with simplified integration for Computer Aided Design (CAD) software.  The new release of Pointfuse Pro also automatically textures the generated 3D models by using RGB, Intensity or statistical derived values. Using the original RGB values from the point cloud the software can now automatically add real world context to the generated models.

Other new functionality allows users to quickly and accurately generate 3D models and then easily produce 2D plans, elevations or sections for use in project documentation. The software also includes the ability to create scaled ortho images from...

Altium Limited has released a new extension for their flagship PCB design tool, Altium Designer. MCAD Co-Designer: SOLIDWORKS® helps to facilitate collaboration between mechanical and electronic design teams with integrated design data, a managed change environment for design revisions, and lifecycle management for component creation, among other features. This extension is available now to purchase for all current and prospective Altium Designer customers.

“ECAD/MCAD collaboration has always been a major pain point for designers that everyone has been trying alleviate,” said Peter Ricci, Head of PCB at Altium. “With the MCAD Co-Designer extension, we’ve done it, and we’ve done...

3D Systems announced its role in a $1.3 million contract to design, build and test a cutting-edge aircraft heat exchanger to be manufactured using 3D printing. Led by Honeywell International, a world leader in heat exchanger production, this project will utilize 3DS' Direct Metal Printing (DMP) technology as well as the additive manufacturing and materials expertise of Penn State's Center for Innovative Materials Processing through Direct Digital Deposition (CIMP-3D). Such qualified use of additive manufacturing will not only revolutionize jet engine manufacturing, but it will also open the technology to a multibillion-dollar heat exchanger market.

The project, set...

Daimler has completed a groupwide transition to Siemens NX CAD software, which replaced Dassault Systemes’ Catia V5 software across all of the company’s divisions.

The German car and truck maker said the move, which involved training more than 6,200 users on the new software, was made to improve efficiency and sustainability. Daimler said in a press statement that the transition, which was first announced in 2010, also resulted from a desire to achieve full integration between the group’s product data management, which already used Siemens PLM Teamcenter products, and CAD software systems.

“The introduction of the new design and product data software not only means...
