The 2015 R2 release of Delcam’s FeatureCAM feature-based CAM software incorporates a milling calculator to help users obtain the maximum benefit from the Vortex high-efficiency area-clearance strategy.  Other enhancements, among the 280 customer-requested improvements since the initial 2015 release last September, include the ability to create multi-tool blocks within machine designs, better control over toolpath output and more efficient automatic selection of tools. FeatureCAM was the world’s first feature-based programming software when it was launched in 1995.  Constant development since then has ensured that the system has retained its leadership in programming speed and ease of use, while an increased range of strategies has been added to provide more efficient toolpaths that give greater productivity on a wider range of machinery, including mill-turn machines, five-axis mills and wire EDM equipment. The Vortex area-clearance strategy in FeatureCAM produces safe toolpaths with a much deeper cut by using a controlled engagement angle that maintains

An Atlas V rocket designed and built by United Launch Alliance (ULA), which utilizes engineering analysis and simulation software from Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) software business unit, carried a U.S. Navy communications satellite into space today. The same Siemens PLM software was also used on the Mars Rover program to help in the design, production and testing of the Curiosity Rover. Additionally, the Atlas V also propelled the Mars Rover Curiosity into space in 2012 for its historic landing on the red planet. “Software is helping to enable space exploration, and today I was witness to an important step in the next generation of discoveries,” said Helmuth Ludwig, Executive Vice President, Digital Enterprise Realization at Siemens. “Siemens is proud of our partnership with ULA and we are honored to be a software provider as they continue to advance the technology of space flight with launches like these, made possible with software

Schneider Electric and Autodesk Inc. today announced the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding. According to this agreement, Schneider Electric and Autodesk plan to collaborate to enhance current practices for building lifecycle management based on Building Information Modeling (BIM). As part of the collaboration, the two companies are exploring ways to complement each other’s strengths to make buildings more energy efficient from the design and construction through operation and end-of-life phases. The collaboration may include new solutions and services in the areas of energy management, building automation and control, and workspace management. The joint efforts look to combine Schneider Electric’s expertise in electrical distribution, energy and building management solutions with Autodesk’s portfolio of BIM-based design and construction software such as Autodesk Revit and Autodesk BIM 360. Today, buildings consume about 40 percent of global energy, 25 percent of global water, 40 percent of global resources and they emit approximately one-third of GHG emissions.
