Delcam CRISPIN will demonstrate the potential of its ShoeMaker design software in the mass customisation of footwear by displaying hybrid shoes at the SIMAC exhibition to be held in Milan from 25th to 27th February.  The hybrid shoes feature a leather upper, with the sole and heel produced by 3D printing, bringing together traditional and new methods of shoemaking in their creation. The complete shoe model was developed in ShoeMaker, the only footwear design system that integrates fully 3D designs of lasts, uppers and soles, so allowing the complete CAD model of the shoe to be developed and visualised in a single system.  This comprehensive functionality makes ShoeMaker the perfect solution for projects like Delcam’s hybrid shoe. The new materials and increased design freedom offered by 3D printing are expanding the creative opportunities for footwear designers.  Unhindered by the restrictions of conventional manufacturing, designers can let loose their creativity, paving the way

Businesses grow through partnerships. Whether you partner internally within your firm or externally to initiate a new business, source innovative ideas and technology, or create new channels for your products and services, a common goal is joint value creation. While many partnerships start with a big vision and goals, many fail due to conflicts among the participants. There is an immense amount of research and a large number of publications on the topic of what makes or breaks a partnership. Not surprisingly, essential success factors are the basic elements of human relationship building: trust, mutual respect, shared vision and values, and open and honest communication. While conceptually this is easy to understand, it is hard to achieve. Planning and the adoption of best practices with a system view of innovation, i.e., Management, Organization, People, Process, and Culture, helps: Management: A passionate top management sponsor with a vision about the possibilities to

Lattice Technology, Inc., announced Lattice3D Studio version 13.1. This latest release of the company’s authoring tool contains features that speed time to market and decrease development costs for companies that develop and manufacture complex products. New functionality includes 3D electrical routing, which completes the product representation by including the mechanical aspects of the electrical design.  Additional features enable concurrent workflows between engineering, product documentation, assembly process planning, and work instruction development. “The new features in this release continue our effort to enable the enterprise to leverage 3D engineering data to downstream processes and compact product release cycles,” explained Bill Barnes, General Manager, Lattice Technology, Inc.  “For instance, using Lattice3D Studio version 13.1, companies can now create electrical routing for complete product representation. This allows both electrical and mechanical data to be used in interactive work instructions, technical illustrations and any other technical documentation.  Additional features better enable different team members to work concurrently.” Create

Mentor Graphics Corporation today announced its new HyperLynx® Alliance developed with key industry partners, integrating tools, data and methodology to accelerate new technology adoption. The alliance leverages the HyperLynx® tool suite for high-speed design and verification, deployed on cloud-based virtual labs to accelerate time to productivity. The virtual lab series leverages partner models and reference designs with the HyperLynx tool suite to demonstrate ideal design methodologies to address difficult high-speed printed circuit board (PCB) SerDes and DDR design challenges. The virtual labs reduce engineering time and costs associated with evaluation design tool requests and design case setup which could take days or weeks. The labs walk through a recommended design process, helping engineers formulate their own methodologies and enabling them to evaluate trade-offs to improve overall system performance. Co-developed with industry vendors, the HyperLynx Alliance virtual labs include the complete HyperLynx design environment, partner IBIS-AMI and/or s-parameter electrical models, a reference design based test case, and a step-by-step
