Wacom, a leading manufacturer of pressure-sensitive pen input devices for professional creators of digital content, played a key role during the development and testing phases of Dassault Systemes' newly launched 3D design application, SOLIDWORKS Industrial Design. As part of Dassault Systemes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform, SOLIDWORKS Industrial Design improves the overall design process by offering a flexible and intuitive design environment. This new cloud based application allows engineers and designers to tackle industrial design challenges in a collaborative manner before seamlessly and efficiently transitioning to the detail mechanical design phase of a project. SOLIDWORKS Industrial Design R&D, product management and sales teams employed Wacom's Cintiq Companion and new Cintiq 27QHD during the application's various stages of development all the way through final testing before launch. The Cintiq's natural, pen-on-screen and multi-touch workflow aligns elegantly with the software, providing a user experience that expertly emulates the feel of traditional media. In addition, the Cintiq's

The agreement between the ICT distributor and Solair is aimed at establishing mutual cooperation to make the IoT more accessible and to expand the sales network 2015 started for Solair with an important new agreement and the first of its kind with a distributor. A few days ago a partnership agreement was signed between Solair, a software company focusing on the IoT, and Allnet.Italia, one of leading distributors on the Italian ICT market. The partnership between the two companies from Bologna was established to work together to provide affordable, scalable solutions for the IoT market that are quick and easy to implement. The IoT was the focus of the last edition of #CES, and promises to be the main topic of the next edition of #Cebit: it is the main feature at all the most important international IT events. Recent estimates speak of more than 50 billion things that will be connected

PLM Mechanic has announced the release of their SolidWorks EPDM Export Tool to prepare Solidworks Enterprise PDM (EPDM) Vault data for a targeted system. SolidWorks EPDM customers will find it beneficial as it prepares an Excel workbook with an export of their Vault. This information can then be imported into other systems for reporting, customer service or preparation for integration to systems such as Agile PLM or ERP solutions. The SolidWorks EPDM Export Tool is an easy-to-use application that produces a Microsoft Excel file and can run on any host in the network that has database connectivity and the .Net framework installed. It offers a fast, easy and repeatable process to extract information. This low cost alternative to in-house development is capable of extracting full history including variable information for each of the file’s configurations, Bill of Materials (BOM) for the active configuration of each of the assembly’s versions, document data

OPEN MIND Technologies AG has released hyperMILL® ShopViewer, a proprietary visualisation solution for the workshop. It provides machine operators with a complete overview of the upcoming NC program right through to simulation and ensures that only safe, checked NC programs run on the machine. Although the digital process chain from design through NC programming already exists in many companies, there is often a break in the chain when it comes to the production environment. The actual programs are forwarded to the controller via the network, but the associated information is not normally transferred. The machine operator can usually only take advantage of static aids like drawings, tool reports, screenshots, PDFs etc. It is a different picture with a viewing system. Here, the system provides the specialist operating the machine with all of the information related to manufacturing data, as well as geometry and component structure. hyperMILL® ShopViewer makes it possible to

Kenesto Corp today announced Kenesto Drive.  Kenesto Drive is Kenesto’s latest innovation for mainstream engineering companies designed to serve as an excellent alternative to the commonly used network drive.  Kenesto Drive’s cloud-based solution enables small and medium sized companies to more simply, yet much more effectively store, share, lock-for-edit, and automatically version all their project files directly from users’ desktops, desktop applications and desktop file explorers.  This includes support for engineering and design data, including 2D & 3D computer aided design files, images, presentations, specifications, and other related documents. Using the Kenesto Drive, mainstream engineering companies have for the first time an infrastructure-free alternative to the use of in-house shared network drives.  Kenesto Drive looks, feels, and works in exactly the same way as an in-house network drive, with the added benefits of: Automatic file versioning Extremely simple and effective file locking (vaulting) Automated back-up Personal file ownership with sharing Multi-CAD assembly support Intelligent off-line file access Document
