The Nemetschek Group maintained its dynamic development from the first quarter of 2015 and accelerated revenue growth in the second quarter. The high level of growth in the first half of the year, which was primarily non-domestic and with software licenses, is accompanied by key strategic measures, e.g. investments in further internationalization of the brands, extension of BIM 5D expertise and increased sales/distribution and marketing activities. Dynamic first half year Group revenue in the second quarter rose to EUR 68.6 million, a growth of 33.8% compared to the same quarter in the previous year (EUR 51.3 million). In the first half of 2015, revenue increased by 32.2% to EUR 135.2 million (previous year’s period: EUR 102.3 million). Adjusted for currency fluctuations, revenue in the first half year rose by about 26%. Bluebeam Software, Inc., acquired as of October 31, 2014, contributed EUR 21.0 million to revenue in the first half year. The

At the Composites and Advanced Materials Expo in Dallas, TX, CGTech will be presenting a software developer’s perspective on implementing programming and simulation software for automated layup equipment.  “Machine independent software for programing and simulating automated layup equipment offers a viable alternative to software supplied by the machine supplier. This enables the end-user to unify programming and simulation tools for a range of equipment brands, models and technologies under one software infrastructure,” said Bill Hasenjaeger, CGTech’s Product Marketing Manager.  “This unification has a number of technological and cost savings advantages over the life of programs.”  Throughout the show, in booth ZA73, CGTech will be demonstrating VERICUT Composite Applications: VERICUT Composite Paths for Engineering (VCPe), VERICUT Composite Programming (VCP) & VERICUT Composite Simulation (VCS). Visitors to CGTech’s booth will also have the opportunity to receive a thorough overview of the steps needed to get from a CAD designed composite part to CNC programs

CNC Software Inc., developers of Mastercam CAD/CAM software, has partnered with Edge Factor to produce a professional, time-saving, turnkey package of exciting media and interactive resources, called #RockMFGDay, to help make events compelling, engaging, and successful. Spurred by record-setting participation last year, many activities are in the works for Manufacturing Day 2015, scheduled for October 2, 2015—the fourth annual industry grassroots event that is celebrated across North America and being promoted as “MFG Day.”  “Mastercam has partnered with Edge Factor to produce materials to inspire young people to pursue careers in the incredible world of manufacturing,” states Meghan Summers West, President of CNC Software, Inc. “This free promotional package will help manufacturers connect with leaders and students in your community to change perceptions of manufacturing, involve kids and teachers, reach parents, spark conversations, and collect meaningful feedback on the success of their events.” The promotional package includes a free host prize pack,

Jabez Technologies, creators of software to simplify complex robotic programming, is joining Hypertherm, a U.S. based manufacturer of plasma, waterjet, and laser cutting systems, to make it easier for companies to utilize robots for manufacturing applications. Simple offline programming is a key barrier to the wider utilization of robotics in manufacturing. Hypertherm and Jabez believe combining Hypertherm’s cutting expertise with Jabez’s skilled engineering and support staff will make it easier for robotic programmers and integrators to achieve optimal results. At the same time, Jabez can enhance its support for a wide variety of robotic programming applications, including those beyond cutting, by leveraging Hypertherm’s global infrastructure and strong engineering community. “A growing trend toward lean and flexible manufacturing is resulting in the expanded use of robotics in our served industries. Manufacturers realize that robots are increasingly critical to producing higher quality products at a lower cost, and to achieving the speed and flexibility

Indian industry including leaders in the technology sector have expressed their support for Autodesk University (AU) India 2015, which will be held on August 7, 2015 at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (SVP) stadium, National Sports Club of India (NSCI),Mumbai. AU is India's leading learning and networking event for design and engineering professionals. With the participation of technology leaders from across the industry like Dell, HP, NVIDIA and organizations such as FICCI and National Skills Development Corporation (NSDC), the second edition of AU in India will focus on the future of how things are made, demonstrating the benefits that the combination of innovative design software with powerful hardware can provide to solving design challenges. The event will showcase the latest product and technology innovations from the industry and would also comprise of interactive workshops, demonstrations, knowledge sessions, and a display of exhibits from the Autodesk Gallery in San Francisco. AU India is one of 13 Autodesk University events held around the world. Following the success of its two previous Indian editions, this year's event

The 2015 R2 release of Delcam’s PowerINSPECT inspection software makes it easier to complete fast and accurate inspection of complex assemblies.  The new version includes more options for automation of inspection sequences, including automated probe changes, automatic feature extraction for point cloud batch inspection, and greater control over collision checking. The main improvement for users of CNC CMMs is the addition of support for MCR20 and FCR25 probe change racks.  PowerINSPECT can now incorporate probe changes into fully-automated measurement sequences.  Enhancements to the probe database allow the user to define probe tools in terms of ‘sub-assemblies’ which can be docked in the rack ports.  A typical example of a sub-assembly is the combination of a probe module and a stylus.  Once created, the sub-assemblies are allocated to specific ports in the probe change rack, and the user defines the physical location of the rack on the CMM by measurement.  PowerINSPECT carries out

BobCAD-CAM, Inc. includes dynamic drawing snap increment functionality with the company’s new Version 28 CAD-CAM software release. The feature is available as a standard CAD tool with new BobCAD-CAM V28 purchases and upgrades. All dynamic drawing functions in BobCAD-CAM now include the new snap increment function, which acts as a uniform grid in the CAD design workspace. This allows the user to define a snap increment based on distances or angles. This feature, which can be turned on & off, was created to speed up the drawing process for users that prefer to work on a grid style workspace when creating their 2D & 3D part models. It effectively reduces the number of clicks and data entry modifications typically required in a grid-less CAD system to allow for greater design workflow capabilities. “The new snap increment functionality in CAD is going to save a lot of everyday programmers valuable time and money,” explains Al DePoalo,
