International TechneGroup Incorporated (ITI) introduces CADfix 11, the latest version of the leading software for CAD model translation, repair and simplification. Engineers use CADfix to address common problems of 3D model data exchange and re-use between different engineering applications. CADfix is a multi-purpose tool for CAD data translation. CADfix allows users to import CAD models and efficiently repair and adapt them before exporting to the most suitable format for downstream re-use, eliminating expensive CAD model rework. This tool is especially useful for organizations that focus on advanced analysis and manufacturing applications. CADfix 11 includes updates to the wide range of CADfix native and neutral file interfaces, such as: CATIA v5-6 r2016, SOLIDWORKS 2016, Inventor 2016, ACIS R26 and Parasolid 28.0, plus a roll-up of CADfix 10 service pack enhancements for assembly editing, body welding, surface lofting and PLMXML support. In addition, CADfix 11 brings numerous improvements in areas such

Startup companies can speed their innovative products to market by leveraging the same cutting-edge engineering simulation solutions used by larger, more established industry leaders, thanks to a new program from ANSYS. Small startups often skip engineering simulation because they think the cost can be prohibitive. As a result, engineers in those nascent companies spend an inordinate amount of time and waste funding developing their products building multiple physical prototypes – or miss effects that cannot be discovered using traditional product development methods. As a result, these innovative companies risk being slower to market or only partially fulfilling their bold product promises.   ANSYS has been committed to helping small and large companies innovate since its inception and the ANSYS Startup Program, formally launched today, aims to benefit the tens of thousands of small companies around the world by giving them virtually free access to ANSYS' leading suite of engineering simulation products.

With the world of manufacturing undergoing major disruptions brought on by new market forces and technologies, Autodesk unveiled its portfolio of solutions for additive and subtractive manufacturing. The portfolio lets manufacturers take advantage of technology disruptions and improve competitiveness by creating higher quality products in less time with lower costs. The new solution brings together products historically offered from Autodesk, Delcam, Netfabb, Pan Computing and Magestic Systems into one complete set of hybrid manufacturing solutions. “Autodesk has long been a leader and innovator in 3D design, engineering and the technologies that expand the applications of industrial 3D printing, but we appreciate that no product is really complete until it’s realized through physical manufacture,” said Amar Hanspal, senior vice president of products at Autodesk. “We’ve also become a leader in technologies that expand the applications of industrial 3D printing. Now, we’re truly integrating the design, make and use phases of product development. This

Lancaster has chosen Centric 8 PLM to help revitalize its processes and to support growth opportunities in new markets. Lancaster produces 1.5 million products per year and enjoys a global presence in 60 countries through 1,000 stores. Making passion for leather and that sense of Parisian style available further afield represented a challenge for Tony Jean Rose, PLM Project Manager, and the design and development teams at Lancaster's Paris headquarters. "To achieve our objective of exponential growth, particularly in Asia and the USA, we needed to simplify our processes in line with best practices, improve supply chain collaboration, and find opportunities to synergize sourcing between the Sequoia and Lancaster brands," explains Rose. To support that multi-national, multi-brand perspective on collection and product development, Lancaster began a comprehensive PLM selection process, employing the services of an independent advisor in order to select the best possible partner. "We wanted to reach multiple
