An Italian plastic mould-maker uses a portfolio of VISI CAD/CAM software modules to ensure it stays at the forefront of product development and research.  Onni-Stamp, based in Villafranca d’Asti in the Province of Asti, is a classic example of an Italian family business, but characterised by intense research and development activity, which, according to founder Giorgio Goria, sets it apart from other mould manufacturers.   Set up in 1980, the company combines the experience of expert craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technologies. Onni-Stamp incorporates fully integrated project management into its core business of creating moulds for plastic materials. The owner’s son, Alessio Goria, says the company works alongside the client from the very first stages of the project through co-creation and co-design activities, with the goal of producing products that are easier to manufacture, more cost-effective and of higher quality. Once product design is complete, Omni-Stamp uses VISI to assist in finding the most

Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced its Autodesk License Upgrade Program. For consideration by owners of Autodesk perpetual licenses facing Autodesk’s imminent deadline for the write-off of the future value of their investment, Bentley Systems is offering recovery of the value otherwise subject to forfeit. Bentley Systems will credit the net value of Autodesk licenses towards upgraded “evergreen” perpetual licenses of Bentley’s applications. These perpetual licenses never depreciate, as (for instance) Bentley’s SELECT’s annual “portfolio balancing” permits exchanges among Bentley’s comprehensive application portfolio. Bhupinder Singh, Bentley’s Chief Product Officer, said, “Bentley Systems considers purchases of perpetual licenses to be long-term investments by our users, so we continually innovate to increase their value. We are glad to now extend this 'future-proofing' to Autodesk license owners who otherwise will lose value in their applications. And we will continue to offer users the choice to purchase licenses or subscriptions to fit their commercial preferences. Especially with

Applied Software® today unveiled eVolve™ Fabrication, a new fabrication software solution for electrical contractors. Developed by electrical contractors for contractors, eVolve reduces waste by facilitating detail-level as-built drawing production, and by automating shop drawing sheet set creation with linked bills of material using a single click – no extra effort. eVolve also makes Just-in-Time delivery a reality for both the shop and the field, virtually eliminating the need for pre-stocking inventory. "Most electrical contractors are on the lean journey for greater efficiency, but are struggling to see how requiring BIM adds value to their operations," said Richard Burroughs, president of Applied Software. "eVolve will allow our clients to fabricate faster at a lower rate and install faster, as well." "With eVolve Fabrication, we tracked and documented a reduction in rework from 50 percent down to 2 percent as we moved fabrication from the field into the pre-fabrication shop, where safety

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. today announced that Renesas Electronics Corporation has adopted the Cadence® Interconnect Workbench (IWB) to accelerate performance analysis and verification of their on-chip interconnects by up to 50 percent. Interconnect Workbench provided Renesas with a cycle-accurate performance analysis of interconnect throughout the system on chip (SoC) and micro controller design process by quickly identifying bottlenecks under critical traffic conditions, enabling Renesas to improve device performance and reduce time to market. "As design complexity increases with more and more IP integrated on a single chip, accurate performance analysis of off-chip memory access and on-chip interconnect becomes more crucial," said Toshinori Inoshita, senior manager, Elemental Technology Development Div. 1, Renesas System Design Co., Ltd. "Cadence Interconnect Workbench is a unique tool which allowed us to accurately monitor the performance of on-chip interconnect, dramatically improving turn around time for design architecture exploration. We're planning to adopt this technology on additional new design projects at
