Nano Dimension’s ‘Lamborghini-like’ 3D printer offers electronics professionals the ability to rapidly produce functional multilayer PCB prototypes in-house. Using a combination of SOLIDWORKS 3D design software, Nano Dimension was able to visualize the DragonFly 2020 3D Printer and its components with accurate 3D illustrations of the design and renditions of the product, before actual production. Lena Kotlar, the R&D Mechanical Manager at Nano Dimension and designer of the DragonFly 2020 3D Printer, credits the SOLIDWORKS solutions for allowing her team to design the complex and unique printer so rapidly.   “Every bit of the unit -- mechanical parts, the housing, wires and cables -- was designed with SOLIDWORKS,” Ms. Kotlar said. “We used the software’s simulation capabilities to ensure the parts would work correctly together and the unit would function properly while building 3D printed circuit boards.”   The SOLIDWORKS ecosystem enabled the creation of the DragonFly 2020 3D

Dassault Systèmes today announced the launch of its “Age of Experience” Event Series, a new conference concept to explore megatrends and value creation strategies in key business domains experiencing disruptive change. Inspired by the collaborative environment of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, the “Age of Experience” Event Series unites 3DEXPERIENCE platform user communities and thought leaders across twelve industries to exchange ideas, applications and expertise in design, science, manufacturing and marketing. Solar-powered airplanes, smart homes and offices, 3D simulated human hearts … technology is breaking down barriers between virtual and reality and inspiring new generations of makers, engineers, scientists, brand evangelists and CEOs to create the disruptive experiences that are defining our era. “Age of Experience” event attendees will imagine and explore the future through the power of collective knowledge. Networking opportunities with thought leaders and Dassault Systèmes executives, customer testimonials, round tables with brand user community members, hands-on training and technology and

Altair is supporting the Vortex Bladeless, a Wind Energy Spanish Crowd Funding Project by providing free software licenses, training, and engineering services. Vortex Bladeless was founded in 2013 as an R&D company, exclusively dedicated to the development and marketing of Vortex, a multi-patented bladeless electric wind generator. The project focuses on the development of generators able to capture the kinetic wind energy by 'vortex shedding' and transform it into electricity. This new technology seeks to overcome issues related to traditional wind turbines such as maintenance, amortization, noise, environmental impact, logistics, and visual aspects. Currently, the company's focus is on the development of small wind products, with mass power generation devices planned for the future. The Vortex engineers have started to implement Altair's finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions for two-way Fluid Structure Interaction (2W-FSI) simulations in their development process, and have already benefited from Altair's expertise via

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. and the University of Oxford today announced a move to foster the advancement of formal verification innovation with the appointment of Dr. Ziyad Hanna, Cadence vice president of R&D, as a visiting professor in Oxford's Department of Computer Science for the next three years. Through Dr. Hanna's appointment at Oxford, a globally distinguished university, Cadence further expands its Cadence® Academic Network footprint. Dr. Hanna brings more than 25 years of industry experience to Oxford. He currently leads the R&D team for the Cadence JasperGold® formal verification platform, having joined from Jasper Design Automation, which was acquired by Cadence in 2014. Before joining Jasper, Dr. Hanna was also a senior principal engineer and a group leader at Intel, working on formal property verification and equivalence checking. A senior IEEE member, he has mentored dozens of research projects, delivered many visionary talks for the industry and academia, and served in more than 50 program committees

Manufacturing is changing and with it comes a need to change the way BoMs are managed. The change is brought about by several trends in the market. These include globalization of manufacturing and supply chain, a growing number of new hardware developers, a surge in the maker movement, increased reliance on contract manufacturing, and variety of new manufacturing practices including adoption of internet and mobile tools and technologies.      “Technology is dramatically changing the way manufacturing works,” said Oleg Shilovitsky, CEO and co-founder of Newman Cloud, Inc., “Manufacturing companies that used to be under one roof are now building businesses around distributed global manufacturing networks. These new distributed manufacturing environments have created a demand for new types of cloud applications that help companies manage and support distributed working environments.” Bills-of-Materials (BoMs) are a fundamental part of every engineering and manufacturing process. The changing technological landscape has only exacerbated traditional challenges

Aras®, the next leader in enterprise Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software, today announced that Toshiba Machine has selected Aras Innovator® to streamline design and manufacturing processes as the company continues to expand internationally. Aras is expected to improve the company’s design processes for made-to order products, improve collaboration with ERP, and increase product quality. After replacing a replace a legacy product data management system that was unable to meet the needs of the design department for product design improvement, Toshiba Machine will use Aras for bill of materials and related CAD data and document management for their made-to-order products. In the future, the company plans on using Aras to standardize global design processes and streamline international collaboration with ERP. Toshiba Machine chose Aras based on the following criteria: Ability to manage the entire design process Web-based platform ideal for global expansion, including the company-wide management of design-related documents/deliverables and the expansion of

Executives see a large gap between the current state of Digital Transformation across their extended global supply chains and what they expect to see just five years from now. These are the results of a global research study, 'The Current and Future State of Digital Supply Chain Transformation' conducted by Capgemini Consulting and GT Nexus, an Infor company. Most research studies conducted on the topic so far have examined Digital Transformation within organizations, or between organizations and their customers. This new research project is the first of its kind that explores the current state and future of Digital Transformation especially between organizations and all of their partners across the extended value chain. The study surveyed 337 executives from some of the largest global manufacturing and retail organizations across Europe and North America.  Key findings of the research study include: Digital Transformation of the Supply Chain is important 75% of respondents say Digital Transformation of the supply chain is

Murphy Surveys Limited are partnering with GRAPHISOFT UK Ltd to deliver point cloud modelling services and ARCHICAD models to the UK and Ireland markets. This partnership comes after successful pilot projects with ARCHICAD users in the UK working with GRAPHISOFT and Murphy Surveys to deliver models created in ARCHICAD directly from point cloud surveys undertaken by Murphy Surveys. The workflow developed has allowed Murphy Surveys to become the first market-leading UK and Irish survey company to offer such services, and further reinforces ARCHICAD as a market leader in the creation of existing buildings in a BIM environment. The workflow allows Murphy Surveys to use point cloud technology within ARCHICAD to create native detailed models in a very short amount of time. This leads to reduced reworking and lower costs further on in the project due to more variables being known at an early stage. “The addition of point clouds within
