Stratasys Ltd. today unveiled a bold, new software strategy designed to make 3D printing significantly easier, more intuitive and highly accessible. The approach is powered by a new, open architecture “design-to-3D print” workflow application, GrabCAD Print* – residing on the popular GrabCAD SaaS platform and supported by a community of more than 3 million designers, engineers and students. 3D printing techniques are typically characterized by significant “model fixing” time which forces businesses to devise costly, manual solutions to construct an acceptable workflow. GrabCAD Print is designed to make 3D printing fast and easy-to-use, while reducing errors by eliminating requirements to translate and repair computer-aided design (CAD) files. Product designers, engineers, and 3D printer operators can now send native CAD files to a Stratasys 3D Printer or service bureau directly from their familiar CAD environments. Further bolstered by an extensive new business intelligence environment, the application also accelerates data-driven decision-making. “When

ModuleWorks launched “exocam powered by ModuleWorks” at the 2016 Chicago Lab Day. exocam powered by ModuleWorks combines the exocad nesting module with the easy-to-use ModuleWorks Dental Framework. Dental Framework is a dental CAM-engine that performs toolpath calculations and outputs the corresponding NC file. It uses machining templates in the form of xml scripts for efficient and flexible implementation, and contains a complete toolset library for manufacturing a wide spectrum of dental indications. The integrated kernel, which is used for the toolpath calculations, provides high performance 3-Axis and 5-Axis CAM features for enhanced machining strategies in dental milling and grinding applications. Dental Framework can be featured with optional machine and material removal simulations. The exocad-exocam environment offers an open interface for loading CAD files designed in exocad (*.dentalCAD) or other CAD software (*.stl) and a high performance integrated CAM-engine with verified machining template to deliver a complete dental CAM product that

MSC Software Corporation, a global leader in helping product manufacturers to advance their engineering methods with simulation software and services, today announced that Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL), UK´s leading bus and coach manufacturer, is using MSC Apex Modeler to aid in the design and development of the company’s single and double deck bus range. Steve Wheeldon B.Eng (Hons), Structural Engineer at Alexander Dennis Limited, based in Skelmersdale, Lancashire, has been using MSC Apex Modeler for over 12 months to expedite the CAD geometry clean-up and meshing process as part of the preparation required for carrying out Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on bus chassis frames and body structures. “MSC Apex has helped us to significantly reduce the time to prepare simulation ready models. The weeks we save provides us valuable time to focus on product improvement and other important aspects of the business,” said Mr. Wheeldon. Regarding the software usability, he comments further:

Siemens today announced it is collaborating with HP Inc. to develop new solutions to transform additive manufacturing (AM) from a prototyping tool to full production utilization. The new technology will enable 3D printing of functional production parts that can be made from multiple materials in multiple colors. The new additive manufacturing offering will help drive the new and scalable Multi Jet Fusion™ technology and new HP Jet Fusion 3D printers. This combination will help enable designers and engineers to create products that go beyond today’s production limitations and that can be manufactured at greatly increased speeds using 3D printing. Siemens’ new additive manufacturing offering will leverage the company’s comprehensive end-to-end design to production technology suite. Together with HP Multi Jet Fusion technology it is intended to allow unprecedented print control, including material characteristics down to the voxel-level, at speeds up to ten times faster and at half the cost of

Today, eQ announced an expanded partnership with Siemens PLM Software to complement Siemens’ Omneo™ solution, which uses big data analytics for Product Performance Intelligence.  With this agreement, eQ will be able to use its revolutionary integration platform, eQube®-MI to aggregate critical business data and provide the output for efficient ingestion into Omneo using XML.  eQ will further enhance its market-reach to provide eQube® platform based solutions for big data analytics in companies using the Omneo solution from Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) software business.  Over the past number of years, eQ has worked with Siemens PLM Software to provide robust business intelligence and integration solutions for Teamcenter® software deployments at customer locations around the world.  This agreement further augments eQ’s abilities to deliver big data analytics solutions for more customers in variety of industries.

The New York Times has an article from May 4, 2016, proclaiming that Moore’s Law may have run out of steam: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/05/technology/moores-law-running-out-of-room-tech-looks-for-a-successor.html But then they take it back by saying: “Predicting the end of Moore’s Law has for years been a parlor game in Silicon Valley, and not everyone in the industry believes that what it has come to represent is nearly over.” Gordon Moore published a paper in 1965 stating that the transistor density on semiconductor chips would continue to grow. https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~fussell/courses/cs352h/papers/moore.pdf His observation was that the cost per transistor goes down as the density increases, but the manufacturing yield of the chips also decreases. So, there is an optimum point. Moore said that density would increase towards a lower cost per transistor as manufacturing processes improved over time. The technology Moore was describing became obsolete years ago. But, the idea that there was a fairly short doubling time for computer speed
