Lectra announces the release of DiaminoFashion V6R2, the latest version of its marker-making solution. This new release expands the scope of its automated marker-making capability, producing better results and bigger savings in the cutting room. Fashion companies and apparel manufacturers today are operating in a marketplace that has been transformed by fast fashion, moving at a pace that makes it difficult to remain both profitable and competitive. "The industry norm has moved from two big collections a year to a steady stream of low-quantity orders in a variety of styles, sizes and colors. This complexity has put enormous pressure on businesses, who need to find new ways to improve productivity and cut costs," says Céline Choussy Bedouet, Chief Marketing Officer, Lectra. "Because fabric makes up such a large portion of clothing's cost price, an efficient marker-making process that optimizes material usage can be a real competitive advantage." she explains.

GEOMATE Company today released GrafiCalc™ family of software that enables users to conceptualize, analyze, and solve a wide range of mechanical design and engineering challenges with unprecedented ease, speed, and accuracy before committing to detailed design in CAD.  That is possible because GrafiCalc enables users to simply point-and-click to associate geometry and “smart” calculations in the same worksheet to capture the functional intents of the design challenge. Users can then vary parameters in the worksheet to ask and receive instantaneous engineering decision-support information and optimal solution in real time. GrafiCalc can be used standalone as well in conjunction with Microsoft Office and all popular CAD applications on any computer running Windows Vista, XP, Windows 7, or Windows 8. GrafiCalc is available in two versions to match needs: GrafiCalc Elements 7.0 combines the disciplines of sketching and calculating in a single application that enables users to "sketch & solve" design challenges while making informed decisions.  GrafiCalc 7.0 includes

MachineWorks Ltd has pledged its support of the Sheffield University Racing Team, competing in the Formula Student event-taking place at Silverstone in July 2015.   MachineWorks also contributed by using their Polygonica Technology to heal the 3D model of a clutch system that the Racing Team had designed, in order for it to be 3D printed and installed into the car. The Formula Student motor sport competition tasks universities around the world with designing and building their own single-seat racing car before putting it to the test at Silverstone. Bringing together students from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and other areas of engineering allows them to demonstrate their engineering ability and test their skills against other teams. The MachineWorks team is passionate about encouraging talent and innovation within engineering so was delighted to sponsor the team and provide them with both technical and financial support.  “We hope that our contribution will aid them in achieving their goals for the competition and we

CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “Managing Product Changes.” The webinar will take place on August 4 at 11:00 a.m. (EST) and will consider the impact of managing product changes throughout the product lifecycle. According to the webinar host, CIMdata’s Vice President, John MacKrell, “CIMdata’s consulting reveals that too many organizations approach product changes from the view that one process works for all. Our experience shows that this leads to long, drawn out change processes that delay product release and lead to rework. Companies should be working towards a more pragmatic approach to how they manage changes and the data associated with changes so that they can reduce costs and other adverse impacts. This webinar is geared to provide useful guidance on this critical topic.”  John MacKrell has over 40 years of experience in the application of computer-based solutions to
