ESI Group announces the release of its PAM-COMPOSITES 2016 software solution to provide process and design engineers with its full suite of modules to predict, analyze and correct manufacturing defects of composite structural components across the complete manufacturing chain. The solution combines the existing modules of ESI Group with new enhancements that enable process and design engineers to precisely identify the origin of defects and manufacture composite parts with a higher degree of accuracy; reducing material waste and obsoleting the need for costly and time consuming trial and error approaches.  Using the ESI PAM-COMPOSITES solution, process and design engineers can tailor simulations to the exact nature of the composite material and their unique shop floor environment to improve process stability and reduce manufacturing defects for a vast range of composites manufacturing processes. These include: draping, thermoforming, Liquid Composites Molding (LCM), Resin Transfer Molding (RTM), and curing , as well as two new robot draping processes:

MGT Industries, an American sleepwear company, has selected Centric Software to provide its PLM solution.  MGT Industries, based in Los Angeles, was founded 30 years ago. They design and produce sleepwear for private labels and for their own brands – In Bloom, Jonquil, and Linea Donatella. Business is expanding so MGT Industries decided to seek a new PLM system. “We had an internal tech pack system that worked for us for many years, but as our business started to evolve, production increased and we began working with more factories overseas. We needed to be nimble and more efficient in the way we create and develop product,” explains Tom Stevenson, Vice President of Operations. MGT Industries will use Centric’s full PLM suite including mobile apps and Adobe Illustrator integration. “Centric will help us streamline our business processes and free up our designers and technical teams so they have more time for

PTC today announced that preliminary bookings for the fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016 are expected to be between $139 million and $142 million, above the high end of the company’s previous guidance of $111 million to $121 million. There are two mega deals (>$5 million in bookings) in the quarter, including a competitive PLM displacement within one of the top Tier 1 global automotive suppliers, and a worldwide cloud implementation of PTC’s service parts management solution. PTC also now expects its Q4’16 bookings subscription mix to be approximately 70%, significantly exceeding its prior guidance of 46%.  Due primarily to the higher than expected subscription mix, and also the incremental commission expense associated with bookings and subscription outperformance, PTC expects GAAP and non-GAAP revenue, and GAAP and non-GAAP EPS to be below the low end of prior guidance. In addition, in support of continued realignment of resources toward higher
