3D Systems announced its role in a $1.3 million contract to design, build and test a cutting-edge aircraft heat exchanger to be manufactured using 3D printing. Led by Honeywell International, a world leader in heat exchanger production, this project will utilize 3DS' Direct Metal Printing (DMP) technology as well as the additive manufacturing and materials expertise of Penn State's Center for Innovative Materials Processing through Direct Digital Deposition (CIMP-3D). Such qualified use of additive manufacturing will not only revolutionize jet engine manufacturing, but it will also open the technology to a multibillion-dollar heat exchanger market. The project, set to commence in mid-2015, builds off another contract announced in February to enable wider adoption of 3DS' metal technologies within aerospace companies. Administered by America Makes and funded by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), this contract underscores 3DS' technological leadership and proven defense/aerospace manufacturing track record. "Additive manufacturing offers design freedoms that are simply not possible

Daimler has completed a groupwide transition to Siemens NX CAD software, which replaced Dassault Systemes’ Catia V5 software across all of the company’s divisions. The German car and truck maker said the move, which involved training more than 6,200 users on the new software, was made to improve efficiency and sustainability. Daimler said in a press statement that the transition, which was first announced in 2010, also resulted from a desire to achieve full integration between the group’s product data management, which already used Siemens PLM Teamcenter products, and CAD software systems. “The introduction of the new design and product data software not only means that we are well prepared for the future,” Daimler CIO Michael Gorriz said in a statement. “We have also taken the opportunity to bring our engineering processes in line with the highest standards in the automotive industry.” Gorriz said relevant suppliers to Daimler already are using Siemens NX or have adopted

HP today announced financial results for its fiscal 2015 second quarter ended April 30, 2015. Second quarter net revenue of $25.5 billion was down 7% from the prior-year period and down 2% on a constant currency basis. Second quarter GAAP diluted net earnings per share (EPS) was $0.55, down from $0.66 in the prior-year period and below its previously provided outlook of $0.57 to $0.61. Second quarter non-GAAP diluted net EPS was $0.87, down from $0.88 in the prior-year period and within its previously provided outlook of $0.84 to $0.88. Second quarter non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted net EPS exclude after-tax costs of $585 million and $0.32 per diluted share, respectively, related to separation costs, restructuring charges, the amortization of intangible assets and acquisition-related charges. Separation update HP provided an update on its planned separation into two independent, Fortune 50 companies.  The separation remains on track and the company expects associated dis-synergies of

Theorem Solutions will be heading to Nashville, TN, for 2015’s PTC Live Global, which is running from 7th-10th June. With Live Global being the largest networking and education event for the PTC user community, it is the perfect opportunity for Theorem, as a PTC partner, to showcase our latest Creo and Creo View productivity enhancing solutions. If you drop by the Theorem booth (No.202), we will be demonstrating the latest version of our Publish3D suite of products for Creo users. Imagine being able to share any interactive 3D model with anyone in the world without the requirement for CAD viewing software.  Come and see for yourself how interactive 3D PDFs are revolutionising knowledge sharing and collaboration inside organisations and up and down the supply chain. We will also be showcasing the newest versions of our Creo to JT, NX or V5 translators. Theorem will also be available to offer expert advice on a range of data solutions including CAD and PLM Migration, Validation

Delcam will demonstrate the latest version of its ArtCAM JewelSmith software for the design and manufacture of jewellery at the JCK exhibition to be held in Las Vegas from 30th May to 4th June. ArtCAM JewelSmith is a special version of Delcam’s ArtCAM Pro artistic CADCAM software that has been developed specifically to allow jewellery manufacturers to increase productivity, improve quality and deliver new designs more quickly, by combining their craft skills and creativity with the power and precision of computer-aided manufacturing.  The software includes a gem library, which can be added to by the user, and the KeyShot rendering system, which creates extremely accurate and lifelike images for either customers or retailers to view, or for the production of catalogues and other marketing materials. The 2015 release of ArtCAM JewelSmith makes it much easier to create complex designs, with a new ‘putty’ tool.  This allows models to be edited by picking

The Ohio State University and Honda celebrated the grand opening of the new Simulation Innovation and Modeling Center (SIMCenter) by inviting other potential industry partners to collaborate at the facility designed to advance product performance and manufacturing processes through computer-aided simulation. Located in Smith Laboratory and part of the College of Engineering, the SIMCenter was launched as a result of a $5 million gift from Honda R&D Americas, Inc., and began operating late last winter. The Center is focused on researching and developing new and improved computational engineering tools for all aspects of vehicle design and manufacturing. The grand opening event included Honda R&D Americas, Inc. President Frank Paluch, College of Engineering Dean David B. Williams, Ohio Supercomputer Center Executive Director Pankaj Shah, and University of Cincinnati College of Engineering Dean Teik Lim. "The SIMCenter is a little over one year old, and we have already received significant industry funding, primarily from Honda,"

Atos, a leader in digital services together with Siemens, Europe's largest engineering company, today underlined the importance of Franco-German collaboration during a meeting with the French Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, in the Atos Business Technology and Innovation Center at the Atos HQ in Munich. Speaking at the meeting, Thierry Breton, Chairman and CEO of Atos, said: "Our shareholder and partner relationship with Siemens is exemplary. European companies that combine efforts to integrate the different European cultures and present a consolidated front to the outside world are better positioned to become a leader on the global stage. Through our important and trusted partnership with Siemens, this is exactly our approach. In innovative solution areas, we are working and investing together to develop solutions that can provide our clients with the agility they need to benefit from what we call the third Digital Revolution, where data is a new resource to boost the economy."
