COVAL is a French company that has been designing and manufacturing components for vacuum handling for nearly thirty years. The use of this handling technique is widespread in the car, food, aerospace and even packaging industries. It involves picking up an object, a sheet of metal or paper, a finished product or even a food product using one or more suction pads to move it from one work-station to another, or to place it in its packaging. As early as 2007, COVAL asked TraceParts to create 3D models of all the components in its product catalogue and make them available online. Originally, COVAL supplied its CAD models directly to its customers; however, due to the increasing number of requests, the technical department could not keep up with demand, and therefore decided to use TraceParts’ publishing solution. COVAL entrusted TraceParts with its CAD models to develop a library of components, available in different

Meptagon Israel has recently switched from a competitor's software to the Intergraph CADWorx® Plant Design Suite to support its functions of design, fabrication and construction of projects in the high-purity cleanrooms industry. Rooted in the semiconductor, food and pharmaceutical sectors, Meptagon provides complete EPCM solutions and will now employ Intergraph CADWorx for a megaproject worth $6 billion for a major semiconductor company in Israel. Meptagon's decision validates that CADWorx is becoming the preferred solution for cleanroom engineering, design, fabrication and construction worldwide, and serves the company's need for managing incredibly large and complex projects in a very expensive environment, with the fastest possible output of deliverables. "We are very pleased with our decision – we are already able to exceed customer expectations when it comes to deliverables due to CADWorx. The acquisition of the CADWorx piping design toolset enables us to implement BIM methodology and tools, offering our clients true design-build services maintaining Meptagon's leadership position

OPEN MIND Technologies AG will be exhibiting at the first Moulding Expo, which takes place from 05 to 08 May at Messe Stuttgart. At Booth B52 in Hall 4, the developer of CAM/CAD software and postprocessors will present the new 2015.1 version of its hyperMILL® CAM solution including the CAD section, hyperCAD®-S, and the hyperMAXX® high-performance cutting module. The new version offers advanced 5axis machining strategies and numerous convenient functions to facilitate operation. The continuous implementation of new technologies, optimizations of existing strategies and extensions characterize every hyperMILL® release. New in Version 2015.1: Measuring probe support has been enhanced by three new measuring methods. The quality assurance processes can be accelerated with the associated measuring cycle. 5axis helical drilling support has been added and 2D Contour machining on 3D model has also been enhanced. CAD for CAM users hyperCAD®-S, the CAD part of the hyperMILL® suite, is specifically designed for CAM users. New

Delcam will demonstrate the latest developments from its development team, the largest in the CAM industry, at the Advanced Manufacturing exhibition to be held at the NEC, Birmingham, from 2nd to 4th June.  Programs on show will include PowerMILL for high-speed and five-axis machining; FeatureCAM for quick and easy feature-based CAM programming; and PartMaker for turn-mill equipment and Swiss-type lathes. The latest release of PowerMILL includes improvements to the Vortex high-efficiency area-clearance strategy, developments in toolpath simulation and verification, improved collision checking to also cover near misses, and more efficient raster finishing, area clearance and drilling, plus more options for customisation by users.   Complete verification, covering cutting moves, leads and links, and tool changes, can now be undertaken of a project for machine-tool issues such as collisions, saving considerable time compared to undertaking verification of each individual toolpath in turn.  Comprehensive verification is performed, including ensuring that the machine tool is capable of running the proposed strategy, as well

Advanced Spatial technologies Pty Ltd (ASt) announced Curtin University has selected ASt to provide ‘Scan to BIM’ services for the development of accurate building models for the Curtin University Bentley Campus academic core, in Western Australia. ASt was selected for their cost effective, quality production of BIM’s, using best practice workflows to deliver accurate building models to Curtin University’s specifications. ASt used the ‘FILOR3D’ survey company to provide high quality colour laser scans, point cloud files, and Recap files which were used by ASt’s 'BIMWest' division to produce accurate ‘Revit’ based building models. In close liaison with the Properties Facilities and Development team at Curtin University, this project is project managed by ASt to ensure minimal site disruption and a timely programed continuous delivery of building models to the university. "This is a model project for any future ‘Scan to BIM’ project, to produce cost effective and accurate models, for ongoing lifecycle
