Geometric announced the availability of a new version 4.0 of its automated design for manufacturability solution, DFMPro for NXâ„¢ software. DFMPro version 4.0 delivers enhanced design flexibility with newly added support for additive manufacturing, tubing and sand casting processes. NX, developed by Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) software business, is an integrated 3D computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering analysis (CAD/CAM/CAE) software. Companies are changing the way they think, design and manufacture. A next generation technique such as additive manufacturing is gaining widespread adoption in major industries as it offers endless opportunities and opens doors for complex geometries and light-weight parts. However traditional manufacturing techniques such as sand casting are still going strong. With a variety of processes being used for manufacturing parts in a single product, DFMPro can help design engineers learn and apply manufacturing best practices for different processes thus avoiding downstream rework and cost problems. Design problems that result in secondary

Mentor Graphics Corp today announced that Mellanox Technologies has standardized on the new Mentor® Tessent® Hierarchical ATPG solution to manage the complexity and slash the cost of generating test patterns for their leading-edge integrated circuit (IC) designs. Using Tessent Hierarchical ATPG, Mellanox has significantly reduced both the processing time and system memory needed to generate the huge number of manufacturing test patterns needed for high-quality IC test. "The time needed to generate test patterns has been growing rapidly with each new design cycle, thus increasing our test-related costs," said Evelyn Landman, VP of Backend Engineering at Mellanox Technologies. "Moving to Mentor's Tessent Hierarchical ATPG flow has allowed us to significantly reduce turnaround time on current designs. Because this solution is highly scalable, we expect to continue using it on our future designs." The Tessent Hierarchical ATPG flow uses a divide-and-conquer approach to break down the overall ATPG task into smaller, more manageable pieces. Compressed patterns

Wipro plans to open a “technology innovation centre” in Silicon Valley by the end of December 2015. This move is part of Wipro’s plan to build on its automation and artificial intelligence capabilities. Earlier this year, Wipro publically announced its intention to reduce its company headcount by 30 per cent through the use of robotic automation. Wipro CTO K.R. Sanjiy commented on this development: “Why Mountain View? Bay Area represents that right area where we can bring together a lot of start-ups [to work with our] customers. We are working with lots of start-ups in the automation space.” The firm currently plans to have roughly 100-150 people working out of the facility.
