Kingspan Group plc today announced a $10 million investment in Invicara, a provider of transformative software solutions for the entire ecosystem of the built environment. With this investment, Kingspan has made a definitive commitment to the development of a solution for digitalisation of the construction industry. Invicara has developed solutions that integrate with Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology. BIM provides detailed digital representations of buildings, allowing time and cost saving collaboration between partners on construction projects such as architects, engineers, contractors, and owners. Working with Kingspan, Invicara will use its cloud-based platform to build a new solution that uses design and construction data to create new digital workflows that transform the customer experience. Kingspan is investing $10min a minority stake in Invicara, and Louise Foody, Kingspan's Director of Digital and Brand, and Mike Stenson, Head of Innovation at Kingspan, will join the Invicara Board of Directors.

Dassault Systèmes and Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to set up a 3DEXPERIENCE Center to make students industry ready in the field of Aerospace & Defense, Automotive and Shipbuilding on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform with built in industry solution experiences.   As per industry reports, the aerospace and defense industry in India is one of the fastest growing markets in the world with a significant push to indigenous manufacturing. Promoting self-reliance, indigenization and technology up-grades, achieving economies of scale and developing capabilities for exports requires that the talent be developed in-house at a rapid pace to meet the demand. The automotive industry that is witnessing major changes in the form of electric vehicles (EVs), shared mobility, emission and safety norms has the potential to create 65 million additional jobs and contributing over 12% to India’s GDP. In the marine and ship building sector there is also the

iSEEK Corporation announces the release of CADSEEK Mobile, creating an entirely new capability for engineering shape search. CADSEEK Mobile searches 3D CAD databases using 2D photos of parts taken on an Android, iOS or Windows mobile device. CADSEEK Mobile enables several important use cases, including: Identification & Substitution In an assembly plant, orphaned parts are set aside for identification, but the lack of labor resources often leads to the inventory being scrapped.  In the field, technicians and parts counter personnel must often play detective, trying to identify parts with few clues to assist them. Similarly, service parts often have substitutes that are identical except differences in material or color, or that can be made to work with minor modification.  However, that information is typically not available from part numbers. CADSEEK Mobile understands geometric shape, allowing it to simultaneously identify a design and also find highly similar variants that might substitute in time-critical situations. 3D
