3D Systems announced today that it is featured in inaugural exhibitions at the newly reopened Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, beginning December 12. Innovative examples of 3D printing empowering novel design are featured in Cooper Hewitt’s new Process Lab and Beautiful Users exhibitions in the recently renovated Carnegie Mansion.  The installations showcase 3D printing as a fundamental and transformative element in the ideation, design and fabrication process. The groundbreaking exhibitions include 3DS’ products and technologies which augment our body, extend our capabilities and expand our senses. Beautiful Users, an exhibition that explores the ways in which designers over the past half-century have worked to suit their creations to human anatomy and behavior, features a hybrid robotic exoskeleton 3DS developed in collaboration with Ekso Bionics which enabled a paralyzed woman to walk. In the new hands-on Process Lab visitors can see a production-grade stereolithography 3D printer, the ProJet® 6000, as well as 3D-printed products and prototypes that

AVEVA announced that it has been selected to supply an asset visualisation and information management solution to TOTAL E&P NORGE AS (Total).  Built on the AVEVA NET™ software, the solution has been configured specifically for Total’s innovative Martin Linge fixed-platform asset on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS). The new solution was rapidly delivered and is already in the implementation and testing phase. When fully deployed, Total will use AVEVA NET’s advanced access and contextualisation functionality to deliver a wide range of design, engineering and operational information throughout the life cycle of the Martin Linge asset. Through a challenging tender process, Total was convinced that AVEVA could provide the data access and visualisation capability needed for this project. Timely access to all types of information will enhance Total’s ability to make better decisions more quickly and also reduce risk. Total were particularly impressed with how open the AVEVA solution can be, allowing

Delcam will present the latest developments in its award-winning Vortex high-efficiency area-clearance strategy at the Southern Manufacturing exhibition to be held in Farnborough from 10th to 12th February. Vortex was first introduced in Delcam’s PowerMILL CAM system for high-speed and five-axis machining in 2013 and was subsequently added to the company’s FeatureCAM feature-based programming software, the PartMaker software for turn-mill equipment, Swiss-type lathes and bar-fed mills, and the Delcam for SolidWorks integrated CAM system. Full details on the strategy can be found at www.vortexmachining.com Vortex gives the fastest safe metal removal from solid carbide tooling, in particular from designs that give deeper cuts by using the full flute length as the cutting surface.  It gives benefits when machining all types of materials, including titanium, tool steel and alloys such as Inconel. Vortex produces toolpaths with a controlled engagement angle and so maintains the optimum cutting conditions for the toolpath that would normally be

The Nemetschek Group presents its new corporate design. The main elements are the new logo and the launch of the new website, which reinforce the alignment of the Group as an internationally leading software provider for the entire life cycle of buildings. The addition of “Group” is a clear reference to the group structure of a strategic parent company with strong, independent brands. An external appearance which is consistent worldwide will make the international alignment of the Nemetschek Group and the common bond of the brands clear: “A NEMETSCHEK COMPANY” will be added to every brand in the course of the upcoming year. This allows the brands to present a face to the customer which showcases their individual strengths, make it possible for them distinguish themselves from each other and at the same time remain recognizable as members of a strongly positioned international corporate group and as Nemetschek brands. Parallel to the

The first installment in a three-part series that explores the platformization of PLM ANN ARBOR, Michigan, 11 December 2014—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm announces the publication of a new position paper detailing how the “platformization” of PLM is morphing into new ways of going about the business of innovation. “How and Why PLM is Being Transformed Into a Product-Oriented Innovation Platform” explores in detail how, due to its ongoing evolution as a business strategy, PLM is fast approaching and in some cases achieving the status of a business platform. PLM-as-a-platform, or the platformization of PLM, has evolved out of the need for innovation throughout the product lifecycle. This paper, the first in a series of three CIMdata position papers on this topic, considers the major drivers for higher levels of innovation—the Circular Economy, including the concept of “servitization,” and globalization. The need for innovation has never

 PDF Key takeaways: The combination of scarce resources and globalization are driving an upheaval in innovation and lifecycle management Scarcity and globalization upheavals are coalescing into business strategies that demand the “platformization” of PLM The Iron Triangle of better / faster / cheaper is no longer good enough In its ongoing evolution as a business strategy, PLM is approaching and in some cases already achieving the status of a business platform. PLM has always been a core enabler for innovation as part of a business strategy. Now PLM-as-a-platform, or the “platformization” of PLM, is morphing into new ways of going about the business of innovation. There are two major drivers for higher levels of innovation, and they are unstoppable. One is the Circular Economy, where, according to the UK-based Ellen MacArthur Foundation, “today’s products are tomorrow’s resources.” Closely related to the Circular Economy is “servitization,” manufacturers delivering their products as services under service-level agreements (SLAs).
