The main function of the App is to quickly browse the BIMobject® cloud database online and with a simple

OPEN MIND Technologies AG has released version 2014.1 of the hyperMILL® CAM solution. More powerful basic features, improved automation options and new tools underscore the leading technological position of the CAM suite. Reamers, barrel cutters in different designs and lens cutters can be fully exploited with the new version of hyperMILL®. The new 3D point measuring cycle helps to accelerate quality assurance processes. Automatic rework machining Improved 3D rest machining allows for the automatic detection of rest material areas where additional roughing is necessary. Additional roughing passes are calculated for these areas. 5axis rework machining has also been improved. When converting from 3axis toolpaths to 5axis toolpaths, different tool types, such as barrel and woodruff cutters, can be used. There are also new strategies for adjusting the tool to the machining model. The new function can also be used for the hyperMAXX® high-performance cutting module and inherit variable technology values. CAD deformations hyperCAD®-S, the CAD

The Electrical Showcase, called Designing and Modeling Electrical Systems and Devices, a new online resource for electrical engineers, is now available on the COMSOL website. This resource features valuable content about how electrical systems, components, and devices can be effectively modeled using COMSOL Multiphysics and its add-on products. Explore the showcase at: www.comsol.com/showcase/electrical. Simulating Electrical Systems For engineers interested in learning about the capabilities of COMSOL for modeling electrical systems, the Designing and Modeling Electrical Systems and Devices showcase is the place to start. Packed full of valuable resources, the showcase explores the multiphysics approach to modeling through a variety of examples, demonstrating the ability of COMSOL Multiphysics to seamlessly combine any physics effect with any other electrical phenomena, mechanical stresses, fluid flow, and chemical reactions. Through a series of how-to videos, user case studies, white papers, example models, and more, electrical engineers from all disciplines can discover how multiphysics modeling can aid in

Major enhancements in the forthcoming new release of SURFCAM from Vero Software will be on display for the first time in the US, at North America’s largest manufacturing technology exhibition, IMTS, from September 8 to 13. Visitors to booth E-3114 at the McCormick Place complex in Chicago are being shown how SURFCAM 2015 R1 represents the first in a series of planned steps to dramatically enhance programmer efficiency and provides the foundation for future releases. SURFCAM General Manager Peter Marton says the 2015 release showcases a new user interface with numerous features designed to improve workflow. New and enhanced functionality includes: Improved in-line toolpath editing A number of time-saving features for geometry and toolpath management Higher levels of user-defined customization. “We expect our revised user interface, along with the enhanced geometry management, to be of particular interest to visitors, as they provide both visual appeal and demonstrate major process improvements. “On the roadmap charting SURFCAM’s planned development

MachineWorks Ltd will be celebrating 20 years of manufacturing software and will be showing the latest functionality at IMTS 2014 on stand E-3331, from the 8-13th of September.  What has happened with MachineWorks in the last 20 years? MachineWorks have seen CNC simulation become a must-have insideCAM software applications and would like to think that they have pushed innovation providing the best material removal available in the marketplace hand-in-hand with our customers.  MachineWorks has experienced machine tool manufacturers creating stable collision avoidance systems with look ahead functions using MachineWorks clash detection software as the machines became more and more complex.  Last but not least, CNC control manufacturers have increased their processing and memory capabilities to be able to offer better graphics including MachineWorks real-time simulation and verification on conversational programming. What's happening today at MachineWorks? Developers are busily optimising performance, stretching the code further to constantly achieve better results and coming up with creative ways of solving problems. MachineWorks family of engines can suit any customer's requirement; whether it is

Delcam will demonstrate the 2015 version of its Delcam for SolidWorks integrated CAM system at IMTS 2014 in Chicago from 8th to 13th September on booth E3222, the largest CAM software booth at the show.  The new release will include a range of enhancements in three-axis milling, drilling, turning and wire EDM to make the software even more valuable to SolidWorks users that need to manufacture their designs.  Programming of three-axis toolpaths for complex parts will be easier and more reliable in Delcam for SolidWorks 2015 with the addition of automatic collision checking of the tool shank and holder, as well as the cutter, for both roughing and finishing operations.  If a gouge is detected the toolpath will be able to be recalculated with any segments that will cause a gouge clipped away. Removing these segments of the toolpath will leave an area of unmachined stock that will need to be removed

3D Systems, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and America Makes announced the award of three major grants to leading universities to advance research in additive manufacturing technology. The announcement was made on August 15 by Governor Tom Corbett at 3DS’ 3D printing facility in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. The grants are provided by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and America Makes and will be used to finance research conducted in partnership with 3D Systems. “Pennsylvania is known for making products for the world, and to remain competitive, we must ensure our policies support the technology and innovation of the 21st century,” said the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Governor Tom Corbett. “By supporting this collaborative initiative, we will tap the best and brightest from two of Pennsylvania’s many prestigious universities to help our manufacturers remain leaders in the global economy.” Part of the larger Research for Additive Manufacturing in Pennsylvania (RAMP) program, the Corbett administration’s Discovered in PA – Developed in
