3D Systems announced today that it will host an Aerospace and Defense Practicum for Direct Metal Printing (DMP) with industry leaders and Department of Defense experts at Pennsylvania State University, June 21 – 22, 2016. This two-day, hands-on workshop and demonstration is designed to educate existing and potential customers on the unique challenges of supporting the aerospace and defense sector while introducing them to new industry-specific tools currently under development. A growing number of aerospace and defense manufacturers are turning to DMP to reduce part weight and count through innovative design enhancements that were previously impossible using traditional processes. As an industry sensitive to obtaining high quality parts for demanding operating conditions, the aerospace and defense sector is characterized by stringent regulations and qualification processes that serve as de facto barriers to entry for suppliers. In close collaboration with leading experts and standards bodies, 3D Systems’ metal engineers will offer hands-on

Autodesk, Inc. today announced several updates to its Forge platform, including new cloud application development tools and services and three investments at Forge DevCon, the company’s inaugural event for cloud developers. Since its inception last December, rapid progress has been made with early adopters of the Forge Platform in changing both how things are made and the nature of what is made. “We are seeing Forge used to power the future of making things for a variety of applications ranging from part inspection to sub-sea surveying, from managing mines with drones to turning cost estimation into a competitive advantage, and building online design and manufacturing services and much, much more,” said Amar Hanspal, senior vice president, Products at Autodesk. “It is clear to us that there is an enormous demand for an easy-to-use and scalable platform to build all sorts of manufacturing and AEC applications. There are endless opportunities created by a combination of

Zuken’s CR-8000 3D product-centric PCB design platform includes support for ANSYS’ electronics database (EDB) standard as part of the 2016 release, available now. The CR-8000 2016 release expands ANSYS support beyond the existing ANSYS neutral file (ANF) format to include EDB, enhancing the simulation interface with Design Force, Zuken’s PCB design tool, ANSYS® HFSS™ software and ANSYS® SIwave™ software. Using EDB in Design Force 2016, users can easily pass extensive information to support simulation, such as ports, boundary definitions and simulation control parameters to the ANSYS platform. CR-8000’s support for the EDB will deliver a unique virtual prototyping flow to simulate electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical behavior of a product, allowing design engineers to meet their system power and performance targets, while reducing cost. Larry Williams, PhD., Director of Product Management at ANSYS, said: “Zuken has been a long time partner with exceptional technology. ANSYS and Zuken have many common customers and we appreciate

Materialise NV announces at Rapid.Tech its collaboration with Luxexcel, a fast-growing Dutch start-up of customized 3Dprinted optics and of products that require the highest standards of transparency. Together, they will develop a Build Processor tailored to Luxexcel’s needs. Materialise recently introduced the Materialise Magics 3D Print Suite, wrapping all their industrial software solutions into one suite. The Materialise Build Processor is the technology within the Materialise Magics 3D Print Suite that takes care of communication between software and 3D printing machines. Materialise and Luxexcel are now working on a machinespecific, image-based Build Processor for Luxexcel, to give Luxexcel specific control over 3D prints and ensure the quality of optical parts. Since Luxexcel operates in the optical industry, it’s essential to avoid visible printing layers. That’s why Luxexcel has developed a unique digital Additive Manufacturing technology that doesn’t require post-processing. Luxexcel has previously worked with Materialise to establish a fully automated

“Waves of digitization are washing across every industry, bringing the promise of greater productivity and economic benefit but also new risks and the potential to disrupt established business models. At its core, digitization involves far more than automating existing processes; it is about connecting workflows among historically disparate industries and disciplines, and leveraging information to deliver new capabilities. In the area of Facilities Management (FM), the digital revolution has the potential to bring clarity to hidden processes and reduce waste and duplication, but achieving this improvement will require addressing business processes, relationships, and technologies in concert.[…]” Read the full article at the Revit Community: http://www.revitcommunity.com/feature_full.php?cpfeatureid=116693 Signing up is free at the website.
