The highlights of the current versions of their SAP PLM CAD integrations feature a high degree of convenience and performance in working with CAD systems and SAP.  The expanded operating concept supports CAD design perfectly and makes possible the convenient management of engineering documents with SAP. The innovative technology guarantees that multiple systems involved in the product development process can be linked at an early stage and provides considerable added value for the user: Availability of cross-object, multiselectable detailed information Extensive, easily accessible detailed knowledge accelerates processes. Detailed information about all SAP business objects is made available to the user for one or several selected business objects (documents, materials, material BOMs, PSP elements, PLM 7 objects). Costs and pricing information as well as other data are also possible. Browsers for cProjects, PS and classification The simplification and acceleration of project work is ensured by the new cProjects browser. Documents can be attached to their corresponding

ZWCAD Design announced that U-SMD Co., Ltd., a manufacturer and distributor of the switchboard enclosure in Thailand, has selected ZWCAD+ to improve efficiency of product development. With the ability to handle large files flexibly, as well as powerful file compatibility and utility functions that streamline design workflow, ZWCAD+ helps U-SMD accelerate the project development process and win new business. Established in 1995, U-SMD is one of the first switchboard enclosure manufacturers to have obtained the ISO 9002 certification in Thailand. They have now fully applied CAD/CAM software to their product design for computerized production. With more than 15 years experience in switchboards design and assembly, their production capacity has reached 3000 cubic tons/year. The Need U-SMD is among the first to introduce CAD/CAM technology in enclosure production in Thailand. They went through a period of high growth, but in recent years they have realized that their existing CAD software is no longer keeping up with their

More than 500 components manufactured using Edgecam are fitted to each of two racing cars competing in the Australian V8 Supercar Championship. Edgecam and their Australian reseller G-Zerofive provide software, post processors, customisation and full training to Brad Jones Racing (BJR), for their two Holden VF Commodore cars. BJR use Edgecam to produce all machined parts used for the chassis build, along with specialised tooling, composite moulds and equipment for the operation of the race teams, as well as modifications made to purchased components. Produced from a range of materials, including Aluminium alloys, mild steels, alloy and case hardened steels, and a number of polymers, the components and tooling are machined using two to five axis milling, and mill-turn techniques on a Haas SL30 C-axis lathe, Haas VF4 with a 4th axis, and an Okuma Multus B300W with B-axis and sub-spindle, fitted with the new OSP P300S control. The cars compete in every major

Daniel Harari, Lectra CEO, and Edouard Husson, dean of ESCP Europe Business School, have inaugurated the Fashion and Technology Chair.  The new Lectra-ESCP Europe Chair, with a three-year tenure, is positioned at the crossroads of innovation and research. The Chair’s aim will be to develop and convey knowledge based on innovations within the fashion and luxury sectors, thanks to cutting-edge technologies.  Lectra and ESCP Europe started collaborating in 2011 with the establishment of i7, the Institute for Innovation and Competitiveness, of which Lectra is a founding member. The Fashion and Technology Chair is the next step in this cooperation and intends to create a joint center for teaching, passing on expertise and research, with an emphasis on the interaction between technology and innovation.  Market globalization, competition from emerging countries, fast-fashion, and growth of retail and communication channels are requiring the fashion and luxury sectors to address major issues mainly related to innovation. The

The UK’s manufacturing sector is set to benefit from a major £887,000 research and development project called LIGHT that began on 12th December with a kick-off meeting at Delcam’s Birmingham headquarters.  The project, to be managed by Delcam, will make a definitive step change to the current use of additive manufacture for lightweight metal products through an empirical set of trials, benchmarks and demonstrators, making it easier for the whole UK manufacturing supply chain of design and manufacture to adopt the technology. The LIGHT project is being undertaken by a consortium of seven organisations that, in addition to Delcam, includes Bloodhound SSC, HiETA, CRDM/3DSystems, EOS, Simpleware and Magna Parva.  The project is receiving £495,000 of support from the UK’s innovation agency, the Technology Strategy Board. The meeting started with all partners explaining their expectations about what they hoped the project would achieve, and also the opportunities for exploitation both during the lifetime

Cimatron Limited today announced the launch of the ECO Manager, a major feature in CimatronE 11, the latest version of its integrated CAD/CAM software solution. CimatronE provides specialized CAD capabilities for the design of molds, dies and fixtures, as well as NC programming for the machining of molds, dies and discrete parts. "Engineering change orders (ECOs) are part and parcel of almost any tool shop job schedule," said Mr. Ira Bareket, Cimatron's VP Sales and Marketing. "For example, a recent Cimatron survey of North American tool shops found that 94% of shops handle at least one job with ECOs out of every 10 jobs worked on. "ECOs can become a cost burden or can turn into a profitable business if handled and managed properly. However, shops often find the process of handling ECOs to be challenging, particularly when there are many changes and the part is complex. The mold designer is faced with the
