Miralupa announced InViz, a new architectural application that transforms static 2D drawings into dynamic 3D representations. Utilizing InViz, residential and commercial project developers, pre-fabricated housing manufacturers, architects, city planners, and designers can easily convey the volume and space of a building to potential homebuyers and track their interest in construction plans leveraging advanced analytics. Available from Google Play and the App Store, InViz is exclusively distributed by MP Repro in Greater Montreal. InViz will be demonstrated in the MP Repro booth 747 at Construct Canada in Toronto, December 3-5, 2014. “One of the key challenges that project developers and architects face is to effectively communicate the volume and space of a structure to their customers,” said Robert Young, chief executive officer, Miralupa. “InViz dramatically improves upon traditional 2D drawings by bringing an extra dimension to building plans. This powerful tool gives users in the architecture and construction world an advantage over

AMC Bridge has released PLM360-for-SW™, an innovative add-in that enables the exchange of model information between SolidWorks users and the cloud-based Autodesk® PLM 360 system. The add-in manages the Items and BOMs workspace of PLM360, enabling users to utilize the collaborative and distributed features of Autodesk® PLM 360. Users can create an item in the workspace for each model component, extract the BOM structure from the assembly hierarchy and add it to PLM 360, and modify data in accordance with user permissions.

Delegates at the VISI 21 Update Presentation Days say the events were vital in understanding a number of significant new and enhanced items of functionality. The new release of Vero Software’s specialist mould and die CAD/CAM solution contains in excess of 340 updates, continuing its emphasis on intelligent solutions for mould making and stamping die industries. Richard Parker, of CPG Engineering, and Mark Haddon, from Scorpion Mouldings, were amongst more than 80 manufacturers attending VISI’s event at machine tool manufacturer Seco’s UK headquarters in Warwickshire. There was also a second event at the AMRC Training Centre in Sheffield where British Skeleton #1 and former World Champion, 3 x European Champion and 4 X Olympian, Prof. Kristan Bromley detailed how VISI is used to manufacture high precision components for Olympic winning sleds, and produce rapid composite tooling for recreational Baseboards, which he describes as the most exciting new sport innovation to hit the

SmartCAMcnc has announced the release of SmartCAM® v2015. SmartCAM v2015 delivers a new Knowledge-Based Machining (KBM) repository, new High Speed Milling (HSM) strategies, and many user interface and core application improvements. The SmartCAM Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software family consists of applications for Computer-Numerical Control (CNC) milling, turning, fabrication and wire EDM. The knowledge-based machining improvements found in SmartCAM v2015 lay the groundwork for capturing user knowledge and shop expertise. A new KBM repository allows frequently-used toolpath process parameters to be stored and then later recalled.  Part Materials can be defined directly within the SmartCAM application, and Speeds/Feeds settings can be stored and updated directly, without the need of a separate utility.  The new Machine Definition allows all files associated with a particular machine to be simply recalled by selecting the Machine name. "SmartCAM v2015 introduces a new Knowledge-Based Machining database that will serve as the backbone for all of SmartCAM's manufacturing data needs,"
