GRAPHISOFT has introduced significant updates to its multi award-winning BIM presentation and communication app, BIMx. The latest update adds new features to both BIMx and BIMx PRO. BIMx (free) now provides free access to the full set of project information including 2D documents 3D models and any non-geometric data incorporated into BIM. Accessing the full contents of the Hyper-model no longer requires a PRO license, making free mobile PDF viewers entirely redundant for accessing ARCHICAD project documentation on construction sites. BIMx PRO (paid) now provides an on-demand measurement feature on iOS for both 2D documentation layouts and for 3D Hyper-models. As a result, BIMx users can take measurements (length, area, angles) on Hyper-models using mobile devices. In addition, the real-time magnifier tool on layouts and the smart point/edge snapping functions and guidelines in 3D provide intuitive help. The BIMx update also includes a number of functions for Android users, previously

3D Systems Corporation announced today its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016. For the second quarter of 2016, the company reported revenue of $158.1 million and a GAAP loss of $0.04 per share and non-GAAP earnings of $0.12 per share. Quarterly revenue benefited from continued strong demand for the company’s healthcare solutions and software as well as higher materials orders from healthcare and industrial customers. However, these gains were not enough to offset the lower demand for 3D printers and on demand manufacturing in the quarter, resulting in a 7% decrease in revenue compared to the second quarter of 2015. Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2016 increased to 50.9% benefiting from the company’s shift away from consumer products and increased sales of higher margin materials, software and healthcare solutions. The comparable period of 2015 included charges in connection with the consolidation

NBS and Autodesk have announced their intention to work together to develop the next generation of information and knowledge management integration. NBS will help Autodesk and its customers with support for the BS1192 Building Information Modelling (and the future International Organisation for Standardisation standards) processes and the next generation of integration with product objects, specifications as well as standards and regulatory information. Supporting improvements in information and knowledge management through the project workflow, the collaboration will simplify decision making process for customers by implementing enhanced integration between the products. This integration of geometry and data will simplify decision making, provide access to content through the entire project workflow and enable collaboration across the different disciplines, saving time and money.This means that Architects, Surveyors and Engineers can gain access to critical information, reducing risk to business owners and managers. And for manufacturers, it provides the opportunity to place key information at the

Arena Solutions today released highlights of its success in penetrating the automotive component supplier industry. Automobiles are rapidly becoming at least as intricate and interactive as a smartphone. From deep wireless device integration to driverless automobiles and the software defined car, vehicles rolling out of the factory are many times more complex than they were just a few short years ago, and IoT (Internet of Things) plays a central role. With hundreds of IoT companies already in its stable of customers, Arena is enjoying enviable traction in this white hot market segment. Competitive pressures and the need for rapid innovation are requiring auto component suppliers, many of them very young companies, to rapidly produce completely new modules and subcomponents. Even more challenging, they must do so in high mix and high rate-of-change production runs while simultaneously improving quality and functionality with every release as they sprint to be first to
