Delcam has launched the 2014 R3 version of its OrthoMODEL software for the design of custom orthotic insoles.  The new release includes the ability to display multiple 2D images and a 3D model simultaneously, and a range of improvements to the user interface to simplify workflow and reduce design times.  For further details, please go to lz.orthotics-cadcam.com OrthoMODEL offers "real-time design” of both accommodative orthotics, ideal for patients with diabetes and for those requiring comfort insoles, and corrective orthotics, to address problems with the patient’s foot orientation and gait cycle. The software has a direct interface to Delcam’s iQube range of scanners, all of which are able to scan the patient’s foot, foam boxes or casts.  As an open system, it can also import scan data from most other systems as well as create NC code for orthotics generated in other CAD systems The new version of OrthoMODEL represents a big leap forward

CSC has announced the next generation of its structural BIM integration software for Autodesk’s Revit 2015. Structural BIM Integration between CSC’s steel building design software, Fastrak, and concrete building design solution, Orion, with Autodesk’s Revit® is now a standard workflow for many Structural Engineers. This latest release aligns CSC’s design products even further with the recent release of Revit® Structure 2015. CSC’s Integrator provides enhanced levels of integration, synchronising full or part models between the engineer and Revit modeller, with the ability to manage the entire process including: added, deleted and modified members and their associated design data. “CSC’s Integrator has become an important part of our design process” stated Ian Walker, Partner at Billinghurst George & Partners. “The ability to synchronise and share models between Fastrak and Revit has proven invaluable to help us maximise BIM in our organisation, leading to an increase in productivity.”  Fastrak & Revit models used in the design of St

Lectra recently hosted a seminar for upholstered furniture professionals at its Bordeaux-Cestas campus in France. Structured around the theme “24 hours”, the seminar brought together over 50 participants from 13 countries. Throughout the event, which centered on following, in real time, the upholstery manufacturing process for an armchair, from initial design sketch to production of the finalized cut parts, guests were encouraged to share their experiences and best practices on investing in new technology and the benefits it brings to their manufacturing processes. The seminar was organized into three sections: Styling and Costing; Product Development and Industrialization; and Production of Cut Parts. The 24-hour countdown began with an overview of the latest trends in furniture design given by Stanislas Joly from Sylvain Joly Design (France). With the help of a 3D, collaborative worktable provided by Immersion, CAD engineers used the 2D/3D DesignConcept Furniture solution to demonstrate the time and cost-saving advantages of virtual prototypes

Earlier this year BobCAD-CAM released its all new 2 & 4 Axis Wire EDM CAD-CAM software to the manufacturing industry sparking a huge interest across the Wire EDM manufacturing sectors. The new Wire EDM software had been rebuilt from the ground up offering all of the new CNC programming technology that the latest Milling system offered in terms of using machining wizards and more, bringing the Wire EDM system current and giving EDM programmers a major advantage in using CAM to machine their parts. With so many new features having been added, the BobCAD-CAM training team went into action compiling a large line of multimedia video training movies to teach new users the product and bring existing customers up to speed fast. The set includes over 30 videos that walk you through the fundamentals and functionality of the software and includes videos for both 2 & 4 Axis programming. Also

Bentley Systems, Incorporated, announced the availability of Bentley’s Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE). This breakthrough technology for the integrated engineering management of underground utility networks for water, storm water, gas, and electric services is built on OpenRoads, Bentley’s collaborative BIM advancement for multi-discipline civil engineering projects. Bentley’s SUE brings together data from multiple sources and geo-coordinates it for 3D modeling, interactive inspection, and utility conflict detection and clash resolution. By providing a framework of powerful software tools and rich content to quickly and easily generate high-fidelity, intelligent 3D feature-based models of the buried construction zone, SUE mitigates the risks of building in utility-congested, “call-before-you-dig” underground environments. These risks can range from project delays to damaged subsurface utilities to explosions that threaten below- and above-ground infrastructure as well as human life. Commenting on the new offering, Bentley Systems CEO Greg Bentley said, “In cities around the world, the area that I believe poses the biggest risk to those designing, building,

More than fifteen years ago, just after Delcam Sales Partner MultiCAM had started its activities in the Argentinean market, it had the good fortune to meet Claudio Miot, owner of Mi-Pa-Met srl. Mr. Miot had developed his professional career inside companies specialising in the manufacture of sheet metal spare parts for cars, before founding his own company. From the very beginning, Mr. Miot was convinced that making the right investment decisions at the right time would help his company to grow rapidly.  After discussions with MultiCAM, Mi-Pa-Met decided to start with an investment in metrology, buying its first CMM with Delcam’s PowerINSPECT inspection software.  "The software helped Mi-pa-met to move forward more quickly, not only by putting us in a position to supply to new customers such as Mercedes Benz but also by improving our quality procedures,” said Mr. Miot. The investment in Delcam software continued as Mi-Pa-Met expanded, with the PowerSHAPE Pro
