Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is becoming more and more important in product development. In order to take advantage of PLM, Core Tech System (Moldex3D) is going to release a new solution with PLM-integrated technology, providing more data for design validation and optimal tooling development. With the value-added PLM-integrated technology, not only the management of simulation models and analysis results becomes easier, the product quality and reliability can be largely enhanced. Though plastics have clear advantages with regards to weight reduction, lower cost and better quality, simulating its manufacturing processes and performance behaviors poses a significant challenge in terms of technology, turn-around time and reliability. All too often, part manufacturability and quality issues are identified only during the manufacturing phase, which leads to high cost and delays in product revision. However, by changing the part design, one can easily resolve 70% of manufacturing issues effectively. Thus, understanding how plastic fills the product in the

MecSoft Corporation, a SolidWorks Gold Certified CAM system developer has announced that VisualCAM 2014 for SolidWorks is certified to run inside the new release of SolidWorks 2015. “MecSoft is a SolidWorks Gold certified CAM developer, and so we make every effort to always keep our products up-to-date and certified to run with the latest releases of the SolidWorks CAD system” stated Uday Honnalagere, Support Manager for MecSoft. VisualCAM for SolidWorks is a direct plug-in to the SolidWorks CAD system and includes two CAM modules known as VisualCAM-MILL for SolidWorks, and VisualCAM-TURN for SolidWorks.  Each of these CAM modules runs integrated inside the SolidWorks CAD program and can be bought and licensed independent of each other.

BricsCAD V15 for OS X unifies the intelligence of 3D direct modeling with advanced 2D design, turning the Mac into a powerful CAD platform with function familiar to users from native .dwg applications. The new software offers cross-platform licensing, a familiar user interface, 3D direct and parametric modeling – all on native .dwg files. Cross Platform License As of BricsCAD V15, license keys are cross-platform. This means uses can choose to run BricsCAD on a Mac, Windows, or Linux computer. Cross platform keys also allow users to try BricsCAD on Mac extensively with their Windows key. BricsCAD offers an almost identical feature set on all three platforms. Familiar User Interface The BricsCAD interface immediately looks familiar to new users. It offers many of the powerful features they already know inside of a clean and consistent user experience. Thanks to the unique context-sensitive Quad cursor, designers are able to create technical drawings, 3D models, and

Panzura announced that integrated architecture, engineering and planning firm OHM Advisors saw significant results after implementing Panzura Controllers in its seven offices across Michigan, Tennessee and Ohio. With the Panzura solution, all of OHM Advisors' locations experienced uniform access and rapid file open speeds, enabling each location to work efficiently in the same project folder and on central model files of Revit, a major limitation prior to implementing Panzura. With Panzura, OHM Advisors gained almost immediate across-the-board benefits, including optimized use of products such as AutoCAD Civil 3D, AutoDesk Revit, Bentley MicroStation/GEOPAK and ESRI ArcGIS, amongst others. Results also included: Increased ease of deployment across the multiple locations; a single deployment is now launched from any location at LAN-like speeds Provided a global namespace, globally distributed file system and global file locking with unlimited snapshots for backup and restoration Removed file access performance issues and versioning control issues, resulting in less wasted time and a reduction
