ESI UK Ltd., a pioneer and world-leading provider in virtual prototyping, will bring together leading UK industry and academic experts at a free one day event, “Shaping the future of Near-Net and Light Weighting”, which will be held at the Manufacturing Technology Centre in Coventry on Tuesday 8th September 2015. The field of Near-Net Shape (NNS) manufacturing encompasses a wide range of innovative techniques for the accelerated and sustainable production of parts.  It is particularly suitable for the production of complex geometries, for customised production, and small batch sizes. This event will explore how these new technologies can produce components that contribute to light weighting (or mass reduction) of road and rail vehicles, as well as ships and aircraft, reducing fuel consumption and thus also the carbon dioxide emissions. Delegates attending this free event can expect to gain an insight into recent developments in Near-Net Shape process, and learn what processes are being

Delcam will demonstrate the 2016 version of its PowerMILL programming software for five-axis and high-speed machining on booth C05 in Hall 4 at the EMO exhibition to be held in Milan from 5th to 10th September.  The main enhancement in PowerMILL 2016 is the ability to mirror complete machining projects in one operation and to maintain automatically the machining characteristics, for example to choose automatically whether climb or conventional milling should be used.  Previously, only individual toolpaths could be mirrored. Automatic mirroring saves considerable time whenever right- and left-hand versions are needed of a part or tool.  It will also be faster to program the machining of symmetrical objects since it will be possible to program one half and then mirror the toolpaths to complete the program. To ensure that the mirroring has performed as expected, the new option can be used with the ability, introduced in PowerMILL 2015 R2, to undertake complete

BobCAD-CAM, Inc. announced today that the WESTEC manufacturing expo (September 15-17, 2015) would be the first tradeshow opportunity for business owners, designers, and programmers to see the new BobCAD-CAM Version 28 software series since it’s July release. “We’re excited to bring the new V28 software to WESTEC this year,” said Sean Owen, COO of BobCAD-CAM. “Not only did we make major upgrades to the core software, but we also launched a completely new CAD-CAM module with Mill Turn capabilities. This is a very significant addition to our product line as we can now offer a full CAD-CAM solution to nearly every type of machine shop.” The Latest in CNC Programming Will Be On Display  BobCAD-CAM will showcase all of the new CNC programming features available in V28, including:  Faster Drawing Tools Smarter Hole Making Systems Better Surfacing Toolpaths More Tool Type Support Improved Simulation And More The company will also display their brand new Mill Turn module which supports CNC programming

Altair together with the Center for Automotive Research (CAR) has announced Ford Motor Company as the winner of the 3rd annual Altair Enlighten Award for its use of various lightweight materials to minimize weight of the 2015 Ford F-150. The award was presented today during the 2015 CAR Management Briefing Seminars (MBS) in Traverse City, Mich. The Enlighten Award is the automotive industry's first award program created specifically to acknowledge innovation in vehicle weight reduction. Ford's entry, one of 17 nominations that competed for the award, was selected as the winner for taking 700 pounds (318 kg) off of the Ford F-150 while improving its performance, safety, and efficiency. Ford engineers took a holistic approach to weight reduction by incorporating advanced materials into the entire design of the vehicle, including the frame, body, powertrain, battery and interior features such as the seats. The weight savings help the truck tow more, haul more, accelerate quicker and stop shorter, and it

EMA Design Automation® (ema-eda.com), a full-service provider of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) solutions, and Arena Solutions, the pioneer of cloud-based Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)applications, today announced that Cadence® OrCAD® PCB (printed circuit board) design tools and the Arena cloud-based PLM system are now more comprehensively integrated. "This new software integration is a result of the strategic alliance we announced at the beginning of this year," said Manny Marcano, president and CEO of EMA. "Engineering teams will now have a direct link between their PCB design tools and their corporate PLM system, maintaining data integrity between the engineering work-in-process data and corporate product lifecycle data."  This new integration enables two-way communication between the two databases to ensure data integrity by eliminating manual processes. As a result, end-users can upload a BOM (bill of materials) directly into the Arena PLM system. An automatic upload directly from the OrCAD environment ensures that the BOM is correctly formatted and contains all
