At the 2016 International Machine Tool Show (IMTS) VERICUT version 8 will be featured in CGTech’s booth E-3346. VERICUT CNC machine simulation, verification and optimization software simulates all types of CNC machining, including drilling and trimming of composite parts, water jet, riveting, robots, mill/turn and parallel kinematics. The software operates independently, but can also be integrated with leading CAM systems. VERICUT Machine simulation detects collisions and near-misses between all machine tool components such as axis slides, heads, turrets, rotary tables, spindles, tool changers, fixtures, workpieces, cutting tools, and other user-defined objects. Users can also set up ‘near-miss zones’ around components to check for close calls and detect over-travel errors. Machine movements and material replacement can even be simulated while stepping or playing backwards. New Ribbon Bar Upon upgrading to VERICUT 8, the first thing an existing customer will notice is the new Ribbon Bar. The Ribbon Bar allows you to

Aras® is joining with IDC Manufacturing Insights and Microsoft for a webinar entitled “How Will the Global Enterprise Use the Cloud in PLM?” Hosted by Engineering.com, the webinar takes place Wednesday, June 15, 2016 at 2:00PM ET. Free registration at http://aras.com/plm/003255 Today’s manufacturing enterprise has watched the cloud hype with skepticism, particularly when it comes to product lifecycle management (PLM). In the face of rising product complexity and cross-discipline product development, many global product development teams find an increasing range of situations in which using the cloud for PLM is an effective approach. These circumstances include supply chain collaboration, joint ventures, connected product design feedback and others that require PLM capabilities outside the scope of existing corporate PLM systems. The Engineering.com webinar shares how these challenges impact the business of engineering and transform the way multinational companies combine existing PLM environments with the cloud for better results. Webinar attendees will see

intrinSIM and OraResearch, a leading market research firm in the engineering software space, have established a collaboration to research, report and advise on simulation market The joint intrinSIM/Ora Research projects will seek to identify emerging CAE market segments that are creating high value for initial adopters, but to date have been under-recognized, under-covered by press and industry analysts, and under- adopted relative to their potential value for engineering organizations. Through early identification, study, analysis and documentation of these emerging new CAE market segments and adjuncts, we hope to accelerate their recognition, adoption and growth, thus strengthening those segments for both engineering practitioners and technology providers.  The first joint project is already underway and aims to analyze and quantify the market for design space exploration, design optimization and simulation process automation software technologies. This market has been growing rapidly in importance and revenue in recent years and has reached a point

Zuken announces industry-leading routing enhancements in the latest version of its CADSTAR desktop PCB design software. Other productivity enhancements include improved routing patterns for differential pairs, and Etch Factor support. Jeroen Leinders, CADSTAR Worldwide Sales Manager, said: “CADSTAR 17 challenges the view that PCB Desktop software has to be complicated. It builds upon the ease-of-use functionality with new powerful and accessible features. This philosophy helps maintain CADSTAR's position as the industry’s most-used desktop PCB software." For a limited time you can select any CADSTAR product and get a product of equal or lesser value for free: www.zuken.com/cadstar-offer Moving tracks while in Activ-45 mode now incorporates Perfect Springback technology, offering smooth and fast operation, restoring the previous pattern and position exactly (from Version 17.0.1.0). This makes routing faster and more responsive, and means there is no need to review return positions when trying out and undoing routing options. This rubber band-like operation
