MachineWorks Ltd, will be demonstrating the Polygonica software toolkit for 3D Printing at the AMUG Expo in the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville, Florida, from April 19 to 23.  The annual meeting of the Additive Manufacturing Users Group dates back to the early 1990s and has grown to become the leading forum for educating and advancing the uses and applications of additive manufacturing technologies. The Polygonica team will be exhibiting for the second year running. In particular, we will be demonstrating some of the new features of Polygonica aimed at the next generation of 3D printing technology. This includes Polygonica's unique full colour mesh healing and slicing capabilities. As more companies announce full colour printers, it is vital that software products keep pace with hardware development. Polygonica can fully heal meshes - closing open edges and holes and removing self-intersections and non-manifold edges - whilst maintaining and carefully interpolating colour information.

Mastercam Swiss is developed in the same region of Switzerland where Swiss-style machines were invented. It is known for supporting an unlimited number of axes and channels, and for realistic simulation of the entire machine and its tools. Mastercam Swiss reduces startup time significantly, is ideal for optimizing cycle times, and supports all

Kenesto Corp today announced that its innovative solution for file management and collaboration, called Kenesto Drive, is now available to its subscribers for use.  Kenesto Drive is the latest innovation for mainstream engineering companies designed to serve as an alternative to the commonly used shared network drive.  Going well beyond what consumer-grade document collaboration solutions offer, Kenesto Drive enables innovatively simple file collaboration, automatic versioning, simple file locking (vaulting), and much more – all directly from within the user’s desktop applications and file managers. One of the most important aspects of Kenesto Drive is that it has been built from the outset to support CAD and other engineering file types.  Being that the desktop service interfaces with cloud storage, customers no longer have to worry about their shared drive’s back-up status, about files being accidentally deleted, moved, overwritten, or accessed by unapproved users.  Yet, at the same time, the very cloud-centric nature
