Autodesk, Inc. has announced that it intends to invest up to $100 million in 3D printing companies over the next several years. The Spark Investment Fund, which will be operated within Autodesk, is the first of its kind for the 3D printing industry and will invest in entrepreneurs, startups and researchers who push the boundaries of 3D printing technology and accelerate the new industrial revolution. Earlier this year, Autodesk announced Spark, an open and free* software platform for 3D printing that will connect digital information to 3D printers in a new way. Spark will connect to any hardware and be materials agnostic, and the company invites the entire 3D printing community to collaborate, build and improve the platform, its associated Ember 3D printer and materials. Companies and individuals developing groundbreaking hardware, software, materials, marketplaces and maker spaces are encouraged to apply to participate in the Spark Investment Fund’s investment portfolio. In addition

 PDF Key takeaways: Traditional PLM often has low user adoption rates while cloud-based PLM solutions tend to ramp up quickly once selected Cloud-based PLM solutions incorporate technology to support mobile devices, enabling access to PLM anywhere PLM solutions of the future will leverage some aspects of cloud-based technology - Autodesk is doing it today The tools that most companies use for PLM have been around for many years. However, today there are still many companies that have not been able to successfully implement a complete end-to-end PLM solution. Why is this true? Some companies have implemented several different flavors of PLM and have ended up with a maze of solutions with limited integration. Others have implemented one common standard for most of their organization, but user acceptance rates are often low. There are still others that have avoided PLM altogether. One of the reasons for this limited success is that most companies have not been

This free educational webinar, focused on how to gain the maximum PLM implementation value, will take place on December 3, 2014 ANN ARBOR, Michigan, 30 October 2014— CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “Not Getting The Most out of PLM? How to Close the Value Gap.” The webinar will take place on December 3rd at 11:00 a.m. (EST). Attendees will find out which key questions to ask in order to help them understand why corporate PLM strategies stall, and where to look for ways to get a PLM initiative back on track towards yielding true business value. The webinar will be presented by Laila Hirr, Senior Consultant & High Technology Electronics Practice Manager with CIMdata. “We know that a substantial number of High Tech companies are facing end of life of their first or second generation PDM/PLM systems, yet are marginally

TraceParts has launched support for WebGL 3D rendering across its entire library of free downloadable CAD models. Users are now able to view and interact with live 3D models directly in any compatible web browser, without the use of plugins or other additional software, making the millions of parts on TracePartsOnline.net easier to access than ever. Due to the dynamic updating of catalog content, the 3D renders are always up-to-date. This allows the user to be confident that the model seen in the browser will always be exactly the same after downloading it in one of the many supported CAD formats. Other benefits of WebGL include faster loading times and improved responsiveness due to the reduced processing overhead of displaying the model. This, along with higher quality renders, means users can find parts more quickly and preview them in a greatly improved level of detail. With an engineering community of over 9.1 million design professionals accessing

Theorem Solutions has today announced the launch of the latest JT CADverter for 3DVIA Composer R2014x and SolidWorks Composer 2013. The CADverter range provides interactive, batch and command line interfaces for 3DVIA Composer and SolidWorks Composer users to directly access JT data independently of any JT products. All versions of JT data are supported via Jtk7.0. JT CADverter v17.2 has been specifically developed for 3DVIA Composer and SolidWorks Composer users, it works with all versions of Composer, is self-contained and version independent for improved ease of use.
