Tebis is exhibiting its new CADCAM software, Version 4.0, at MACH 2016. Alongside previews of the new software shall be a Quaser MV184P 3-axis vertical machining centre demonstrating the capabilities of the Tebis software. The Tebis software features a new user friendlier interface, more efficient design processes and an expanded automation process for NC programming will be exhibited at Stand 4020 and the UK team will be on hand to demonstrate its complete range of CAD/CAM solutions for all types and size of business. Working in partnership with the Engineering Technology Group (stand 5630), the machine is cutting demonstration parts. Tebis is presenting, for the first time internationally, its high performance adaptive roughing and re-machining strategies live on the machine tool. With a modern yet powerful graphical user interface, Tebis provides a single environment for 2- to 5-axis milling, turning, mill-turn, 5-axis trimming, 5-axis laser cutting, 5-axis waterjet cutting, offline

Synopsys, Inc. today announced that the 2015.12 release of the PrimeTime® static timing analysis tool provides major enhancements to address the challenges of timing and power closure for FinFET designs. New PrimeTime technology significantly improves turnaround time (TAT) and power reduction, while providing smarter utilization of computer resources. This software release helps ensure chip designers can meet demanding signoff schedules at advanced process nodes. "In anticipation of designers' future timing closure challenges, Synopsys continues to offer smarter, more efficient technology," said Robert Hoogenstryd, senior director of marketing for design analysis and signoff tools at Synopsys. "The 2015.12 release of PrimeTime keeps our customers well ahead of the curve, providing significant reduction in turnaround time without requiring them to upgrade existing hardware." System-on-chip (SoC) designers face pressure to close timing quickly, including reducing runtimes and finding necessary high-end computer resources. The latest release of PrimeTime takes a three-pronged approach to smarter and faster timing closure:

Mentor Graphics Corp. today announced that the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 and HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 servers from Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) have been qualified for use with the Veloce® emulation platform. Use of these servers, combined with recent updates to the Veloce OS3 operating system, has reduced the compile time for the Veloce platform by up to 50 percent. The rigorous qualification process defined by Mentor confirms the low-latency, high-bandwidth communication between the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 and the Veloce emulator, where the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 servers function as the co-model and run-time hosts in a Veloce configuration.  The HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 server functions as the compile server and is qualified and tuned to significantly reduce end-to-end Veloce compile time. "The hardware qualification process is part of our commitment to customers to make the installation and use of the Veloce platform as rapid and issue-free as possible," said Eric

Optomec, a provider of production-grade additive manufacturing systems, has stated its Aerosol Jet technology is being used by LITE-ON to develop electronic devices. LITE-ON has created a 3D Direct Printing (3DP) solution that lets them integrate 3D antenna patterns and other functional electronics into mechanical structures or covers. According to the company, LITE-ON first purchased Aerosol Jet technology to develop prototypes for its OEM (original equipment manufacturer) customers, which include communication device, personal care and automotive brands. After successfully implementing Aerosol Jet in prototype environments, LITE-ON expanded its usage and has now deployed multiple production machines in Guangzhou, China, operating 24/7 printing conformal electronics onto millions of consumer devices. “With the flexibility provided by Aerosol Jet technology, our 3DP systems can print sensors, antennas and other functional electronics onto plastic components and covers as well as metal die-cast insert-molded polymer frames and even onto glass panels and ceramic materials,” said Henrik Johansson,
