ZW3D today announced the global availability of ZW3D FastBlank Lite. FastBlank Lite is a module of ZW3D which delivers powerful new functionalities for developing complex 3D sheet metal part geometries into manufacturable 2D flat pattern developments with high accuracy and efficiency. Partnering with Forming Technologies Incorporated (FTI), ZW3D developed ZW3D FastBlank Lite to help users in various sheet metal industries, such as Tool & Die, Consumer Product, Machinery, Automotive, Aerospace, etc., to quickly and accurately develop optimal blank shapes or unfold flanges from complex geometries and to calculate material utilization and blank costs. This integration is a giant leap forward for ZW3D’s sheet metal capabilities. ZW3D FastBlank Lite, based on FTI’s industry-leading metal forming simulation technology, utilizes advanced FEA methods to determine accurate, fully-developed blank shapes for any type of sheet metal parts, from simple brackets to complex metal stampings. Plus, the seamless unification of FastBlank and ZW3D eliminates the risk of

Today’s manufacturing leaders are constantly assessing their ability to become more flexible, more sustainable and competitive, but this requires the determination to continually assess production capability in the most efficient means possible.

IronCAD announced the release of their highly anticipated 2015 IronCAD Design Collaboration Suite (DCS). Customers will benefit from an improved user experience, enhanced design capabilities and new collaboration tools. Simplifying the user experience is a key objective for the IronCAD development team and the 2015 release delivered upon this by extending its Configuration Based Design capabilities such as its unique catalog interface. IronCAD DCS catalogs allow design elements to be stored as basic elements or intelligent elements and then dragged & dropped onto any new object. With the added intelligence, components can automatically configure position, orientation, size, and can give access to business information such as quoting, procurement and more. Extending upon the catalogs, IronCAD DCS 2015 adds the ability to create catalog groups, which makes it even simpler to organize data and find the best fitting element. Additional intelligence is accessible to automatically constrain elements for not only fit but

KPIT announced the release of iLinkˢᵐ PLM Adapter for Oracle JD Edwards. KPIT's iLink adapter connects leading PLM Applications to Oracle JD Edwards facilitating to-and-from information flow between the ERP and the PLM applications. KPIT's iLink adapter masters the complex needs for integrating JD Edwards with any Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system, and has built-in error handling logic that draws on standard Oracle JD Edwards Applications APIs ensuring compatibility with future upgrades. iLink provides a packaged implementation that improves quality and reduces overall costs. Unlike other integration approaches, with iLink an enterprise needs just one integration irrespective of the number of PLM systems it has. Furthermore, iLink integrates with JD Edwards irrespective of its release version and provides equal support for single-site PLM installations with Multi-Branch Oracle installations or multiple PLM environments with a single instance of Oracle JD Edwards. KPIT iLink works with all PLM systems and Oracle EBS and JDE. PLM and Enterprise Resource Planning systems are IT

Granta Design today announced an agreement with Wichita State University’s (WSU) National Center for Advanced Materials Performance (NCAMP), Wichita, KS, USA, under which NCAMP’s comprehensive resource of composite design and test data will be available to users of the GRANTA MI materials information management system.
