 PDF Key takeaways: Augmented Reality solutions are being rapidly adopted in automotive, aerospace, and other industry sectors with particular use in design and service applications Recent CIMdata research on augmented reality and mixed reality applications suggests that industrial companies are just scratching the surface with the enablement of potential use cases The Vuforia acquisition should enable PTC to provide significant new capabilities for product design, operational management, and service PTC announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Vuforia business from Qualcomm Connected Experiences, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM), for $65 million. Vuforia is a mobile vision platform that enables applications (“apps”) to see and connect the physical world with digital experiences. Today, Vuforia is supported by a global ecosystem of developers in 130 countries and has more than 200 million apps installed worldwide. Under terms of the agreement, PTC will acquire the Vuforia business, including the developer ecosystem. PTC

ASCON Group, the developer and integrator of high-performance CAD/AEC/PLM software systems, is pleased to announce the 2.1 release of Renga Architecture, the intuitive 3D modeling software for the AEC industry. The ASCON development team is hard at work every day adding new features to Renga Architecture. And so that's why we decided to not wait for the scheduled third release, but share Renga Architecture 2.1. with our users today. The main reason for introducing a new update fewer than two months after the last release of Renga Architecture is because we changed the way that trial mode works. After the end of the 60-day trial period, Renga 2.1 now allows you to still open projects, create new ones, and event print drafts; the new limitation is only that files cannot be saved. When you select visible 3D objects, Renga Architecture now chooses objects with the help of the frame. For example,

Aras® today announced that Triangle Package Machinery Co., a leading global manufacturer of vertical form fill and seal bagging machines, in-line scales, and cartoner machines, has selected the Aras PLM platform to streamline global product development, sales and aftermarket support. Integrating to NX CAD and Microsoft Dynamics ERP, Aras Innovator® will unify Triangle Package Machinery’s view of product information across all departments within the enterprise. Working with Aras Gold Certified Partner Razorleaf, Triangle Package Machinery will implement advanced, next-generation PLM from Aras. Aras Visual Collaboration will enable Triangle Package product development teams to quickly and easily identify and rectify issues during the pre-production stage, avoiding scrap and manufacturing delays. Using Aras, manufacturing and supply chain participants can collaborate via automated workflows, parts viewing and mark-up. Additionally, specific Aras solutions in support of product development, manufacturing, sales and support of in-market products will be implemented, including: Automated Revision Control for CAD Sales Engineering Information Management “Living BOM”

Today, Altair announced that it has partnered with Ziegler-Instruments to enhance its Squeak and Rattle Director (SnRD), making it the most advanced and comprehensive solution on the market to predict and eradicate squeak and rattle phenomena in vehicles, aircraft and other products sensitive to Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH). The addition of Ziegler-Instruments’ PEM material database gives Altair’s SnRD clients access to the results for over 11,000 individual stick and slip phenomena for different materials pairs.  The SnRD is a combination of highly customized software and automated processes that are implemented by Altair’s service division, Altair ProductDesign in conjunction with a client’s engineering team and testing teams. The solution creates a comprehensive, efficient and semi-automated approach to determine relative component displacements in the time domain that can lead to undesired squeaking and rattling in products. By identifying potential areas of concern in the early stages of design, the overall design quality

Topcon Positioning Group announces its DS-200i direct-aiming motorized imaging station's compatibility with the new Autodesk BIM 360 Layout app for the Apple iPad. The DS-200i is the second total station solution that Autodesk and Topcon have collaborated on for contractors.  "For years Topcon and Autodesk have worked together to provide advanced solutions for the BIM marketplace including the Topcon LN-100 Layout Navigator," said Ray Kerwin, director of global surveying products. "Now the BIM 360 Layout app's connectivity with the DS-200i offers a reflectorless solution along with imaging and greater vertical range."  The DS-200i has an EDM (electronic distance measurement) range of up to 1000 meters (3280 ft.) without the need of a prism, and 5,000 meters (26,240 ft.) with one. The built-in wireless WLAN connects the iPad with the BIM 360 Layout app.  "This Topcon and Autodesk collaboration provides contractors the ability to connect a coordinated model to the field layout process, helping to increase job site productivity

Mentor Graphics Corporation announced new PADS 3D tool capabilities plus major usability enhancements to the PADS flow for printed circuit board (PCB) design. The new technology provides visualization, placement, and design rule checking in 3D, minimizing iterations with mechanical and manufacturing teams. Schematic design and layout enhancements improve usability across the flow for increased user productivity. "The photorealistic PADS 3D tool (with solder mask turned ON) made it very clear, very quickly that I had a problem. Without it, we would have had to document/disposition the issue, correct the design, ECO the release documents/drawings … not to mention take a reputation hit with the customer," stated Robert Berrington, electrical engineer, DornerWorks, Ltd. "With PADS, we were able to find and correct the error before it left the building!" The powerful 3D engine within the PADS product enables full 3D visualization, placement, design rule checking and PDF creation. The commercial engine also provides faster

arena, creators of competition and leisure swimwear, have selected Centric 8 PLM to power a long-term strategy of continued innovation and international expansion. Founded by the “father of sports sponsorship,” Horst Dassler, arena’s development of cutting-edge men’s, women’s and children’s swimwear has, for more than forty years, been propelled by what the company calls a deep and enduring “water instinct.” Dassler, a scion of the Adidas dynasty, was inspired by swimmers’ performance at the 1972 Munich games to research materials and designs to improve the performance of aquatic athletes. Today, the brand has a broader audience. arena creates collections for swimmers, triathletes, and all water-sports lovers in a range of markets all built on that same elemental connection to water. arena ’s innovation-driven internationalization has translated into record revenues. As General Manager for Brand Development, Giuseppe Musciacchio, explains, “Our destiny is to continue to grow, and this global success has accelerated our need for a
