Synopsys, Inc. today announced a new HAPS adaptor that enables a HAPS FPGA-based Prototyping System to easily connect to a Juno ARM Development Platform. This software development platform includes the Juno Versatile Express board with ARM Cortex®-A72, or Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A53 MPCore™, Mali™-T624 and reference software through Linaro Linux. Synopsys' HAPS FPGA-based integrated hardware and software prototyping system delivers the fastest time to first prototype, with the highest system performance, and supports up to 1.6 billion ASIC gates. By using HAPS systems with the Juno ARM Development Platform, designers can accelerate software development, hardware/software integration and system validation for ARMv8-A based system-on-chips (SoCs). "There is a need for solutions such as HAPS to accelerate software development and IP validation as the ARM ecosystem is delivering increasingly complex SoC designs with even greater emphasis on performance, efficiency and scalability," said Jakub Lamik, vice president for product marketing, media processing group, ARM. "Designers face the challenge of creating

Geometric Americas announces the launch of STL Workbench, a powerful set of tools to assist a diverse set of requirements associated to creating and processing STL 3D meshes. As ubiquitous as the use of STL meshes are for 3D printing, the tools needed to fix, modify and analyze STL meshes have been largely unavailable. STL Workbench, available in Onshape, solves this challenge. STL Workbench provides tools to heal, offset, simplify and hollow out meshes, providing users with much needed support in fixing and modifying 3D meshes. To provide this industry leading toolset, Geometric has collaborated with Polygonica™, the mesh processing software toolkit provided by MachineWorks Ltd., a leader in CNC simulation and verification component software development. Swadhin Bhide, Vertical Head (GTS) - Geometric quotes “We are excited to bring STLWorkbench for Onshape users, who can now view imported STL files and perform mesh repair/simplification operations for 3D printing. We will
