​Being a PLM value added reseller (VAR) is a challenging gig. You have to stay up-to-date with the latest from your software independent software vendor (ISV). With all of the mergers & acquisitions (M&A) over the last few years, the list keeps growing. There are also business model changes in the offing, with many PLM solution providers adding cloud-based solutions to their on-premise portfolio. In CIMdata’s Channel Practice, we often discuss this issue and suggest that PLM VARs need to find something distinctive, some intellectual property or unique expertise to separate them from the pack. Recently I had a call with Frank Thomas, President of Adaptive Corporation, Inc. (www.adaptivecorp.com), a company that is a great example of building unique offerings on top of their VAR business.  Adaptive started back in 2006 in Cleveland, during the time when IBM and Dassault Systèmes (DS) were changing their go-to-market relationship. Only some IBM business partners

Delcam has released the 2014 R2 version of its FeatureCAM feature-based CAM which provides support for milling and drilling with right-angle heads, and one-stop programming of multiple roughing operations.  Other enhancements in this release include better control of Z-level roughing, and improvements to Wire EDM and chamfering. For full details, including video demonstrations of the new functionality, and to download an evaluation version of FeatureCAM, please go to www.delcam.tv/fc2014 FeatureCAM was the world’s first feature-based programming software when it was launched in 1995.  Constant development since then has ensured that the system has retained its leadership in programming speed and ease of use, while an increased range of strategies has been added to provide more efficient toolpaths giving greater productivity on a wider range of machines. Right-angle heads allow internal pockets to be milled and internal holes to be drilled that would be inaccessible, and so impossible to produce, using a conventional head.  They

SolidCAM will demonstrate the power of the integrated SolidWorks + SolidCAM CAD/CAM solution, with revolutionary iMachining 2D & 3D, at the SolidWorks World 2014 Conference, being held from January 26-29, 2014 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California, USA. The 16th annual SolidWorks World Conference brings together designers, engineers, managers, and partners to discuss ideas, trends, and the technology shaping the future of product design. Show attendees will see how SolidCAM with iMachining enables customers to: Use their existing SolidWorks to cut any material much faster on any CNC machine, saving 70% and more in CNC machining time Extend their cutting tool life dramatically Perform unmatched hard material machining with outstanding small tool performance Automatically use optimal feeds and speeds calculated by the Patented iMachining Wizard, using the toolpath, stock & tool material and machine specifications to calculate the perfect cutting conditions SolidCAM's dedicated team of CAM engineers will be standing by to

SolidWorks World 2014 will feature the latest in the line of powerful Mastercam machining software. From January 26-29, stop by booth #400 at the San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA, to take a look at the latest Mastercam for SolidWorks package, which introduces new capabilities, including Lathe support, the Mastercam Simulator, and so much more. We will also have an ISCAR Metals, USA representative in our booth with a special show promotion, and will be presenting in the Certified Partner Theatre. On the Show Floor In the booth, Mastercam will have an ISCAR Metals, USA representative working with them on a special show promotion that shows the benefits of Mastercam’s Dynamic Motion Technology in conjunction with ISCAR tooling. Up to $1,000 in ISCAR tooling will be given away to three lucky winners. Visit the Certified Partner Theatre on January 27th from 7:00 – 7:15 PM to see a presentation of Mastercam X7

In-House Solutions, the leading Canadian provider of CAD/CAM/DNC and robotic software offerings, is announcing the release of its latest new product. Octopuz (pronounced Octopus) software — a revolutionary approach to combining off-line programming of robots and manufacturing process simulation. Octopuz is the integration of CAD/CAM technologies for CAD2Path and Simulation/Visualization technologies for robots and production process real world simulations. Octopuz is a mainstream versatile, powerful and effective solution. Adding to the excitement of the launch is the fact that In-House is now the OEM supplier of Mastercam and Visual Components software which now completes its software solutions for manufacturing and further enhances In-House’s reputation as a formidable and versatile solutions provider. “We are extremely excited about our new OEM partnership with Visual Components. Their simulation and visualization software is world-class and their people are exceptional”, says In-House President & CEO, Ed House. “Also, my strong 30 year working relationship with CNC Software and

MSC Software Corporation announced that Matzen & Timm, a producer of specified hoses, bellows and other flexible connective parts made of high-quality rubber materials, has selected MSC Software's Marc nonlinear simulation solution for structural analysis. The hoses from Matzen & Timm are used by industries where precision and capacity are important - like aircraft and automotive design. Diameter, construction, pressure loads, temperature resistance and compliance requirements are essential in their design and development. In order to meet increasingly complex performance requirements, engineers at Matzen & Timm will use Marc to perform virtual testing. Simulation will give engineers insight into the different operating conditions, internal pressures, relative motions, and behaviors occurring during the installation of the hoses. The objective of the analysis is to assess strength, flexibility and nonlinear buckling forces. The realistic and structural-mechanical behaviors cannot be accurately predicted without the consideration of the nonlinear effects. Matzen & Timm use a combination of different
