Lectra recently organized a round table on "Fashion, Sustainable Development and Technology" under the auspices of the "Fashion and Technology" Chair. The Lectra-ESCP Europe Chair, inaugurated in February 2014, aims to develop and convey knowledge based on innovations within the fashion and luxury sectors, thanks to cutting-edge technologies. In the run up to the launch of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 21), which will be held next month in Paris, Lectra and ESCP Europe sought to present some of the ongoing sustainable development changes in the fashion sector. The round table attendees included, Rémi Crinière, Head of Environmental and Social Responsibility H&M France; Dr. Helen Crowley, Head of sustainable sourcing innovation, Kering; Philippe Mangeard, European TK'Blue Agency President; Eva Zingoni, sustainable fashion designer as well as Laurence Jacquot, Director of Industrial Operations and Hardware R&D, Lectra. The panelists agreed on a number

Altair today announced that Centre d'Expertise en Dynamique Rapide, Explosion et Multiphysique, SAS (CEDREM) has joined the Altair Partner Alliance (APA). The partnership adds CEDREM’s KTEX Family of integrated numeric tools for composites to the APA.  "CEDREM is specialized in finite element simulations representing high speed phenomena (such as impacts, ballistics, explosion or blast) and composite behavior,” said Karine Thoral Pierre, CEO at CEDREM. “To improve our models, tools representing the composite materials at the mesoscale and taking into account the manufacturing processes were needed. The KTex Family meets this need. We improved our material laws and cut down the gap between simulations and reality. We are pleased to share those tools with the Altair community." KTEX Family is a suite of numerical tools that analyze the behavior of composite materials during the manufacturing process. It is comprised of four modules: KTEX Pattern, KTEX Layup, KTEX Winding and KTEX Woven Property, all

Trimble introduced today the latest version of its deformation monitoring software—Trimble® 4D Control™ version 4.5. Trimble 4D Control software analyzes and reports on the condition and behavior of land and structures such as buildings, dams, mines and bridges. The latest software version features new add-on capabilities—Trimble eCognition® software integration, support for non-Trimble total stations and frequency domain  analysis based on Fast Fourier Transform calculations—to better analyze complex data communicated from a broad range of sensors and enable better decision making. The announcement was made at the International Symposium on Slope Stability in Open Pit Mining and Civil Engineering organized by the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM) and South African National Institute of Rock Engineering (SANIRE). Trimble continues to expand the ways in which quantifying movement change can be automated using a range of geodetic, seismic and engineering sensors. The opportunities in automation play a significant part in effective project

The latest release of Edgecam’s manufacturing software contains over 30 important new and enhanced items of CAD and CAM functionality for milling, turning, and wire EDM. Turners now benefit from a new time-saving Pre-Finish Plunge option found in the Finishing Grooving cycle in Edgecam 2016 R1. A single plunge cut is generated at the centre of a groove feature, and the cycle then continues to finish the feature in the usual way. As this removes most of the material it does away with the need for a Rough Grooving cycle. Following on from Waveform turning, the existing Rough Turn Cycle now features a new Ramp Cut strategy. This method is typically used for turning deep recesses with double-sided turning inserts...and extends tool life as the contact point on the insert is constantly changing, avoiding notching. The new strategy can be used with decreasing cut increments. Five more milling CAM cycles have been

Comet Solutions, Inc. announces a program in support of Gearbox design and manufacturing. The Comet Gearbox solution, consisting of a suite of solution-specific Gearbox SimApps, will provide automated processes integrating the broad spectrum of tools frequently used throughout Gearbox development: CAD, FEA, Multibody Dynamics, Gear/Bearing Simulation, and CFD in order to predict and optimize performance in the areas of Acoustics/Vibration/Dynamics, Durability/Reliability, Efficiency, and for management of cost and weight.  Developed in cooperation with ADET (Advanced Drivetrain Engineering and Technology) and utilizing SMT (Smart Manufacturing Technology) MASTA, Comet’s new Gearbox Durability SimApp will provide gearbox OEM companies the means to perform basic durability evaluations of various gearbox system designs. By loading a specific duty-cycle into the Gearbox Durability SimApp, they will be able to quickly and efficiently run an automated durability analysis of the entire gearbox system, including the effects of housing, shaft and bearing deflections.  Often, during early design stages, gearbox OEMs

Canon has announced its first solo entry into the 3D printing market with its first major in-house developed 3D printer concept at the Canon EXPO Paris. The resin-based lamination system has been designed to rival current 3D printing technologies with a faster production process than ever before and superior print strength. Few details about the actual technology have been released so far but Canon says it is an entirely new process which is “not only suitable for rapid prototyping but rapid manufacturing as well”. Making the announcement today, Canon stated: “With the highest level of precision in the industry we've reduced the need for time-consuming post-processing. Plus, higher modelling speeds and faster setting times mean you'll spend more time innovating and less time waiting.” In a launch video, Canon highlights the key areas it aims to address with this new technology; diversity of materials, durability, simplification of post processing and faster build times for advancing demands of 3D
