Delcam has released the 2015 version of its FeatureCAM feature-based CAM system with a range of enhancements in three-axis milling, two-axis and five-axis drilling, turning and turn-mill, and wire EDM to make the software even more powerful and easier to use.  Full details, including video demonstrations, are on the Learning Zone –www.delcam.tv/fc2015  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. In FeatureCAM 2015, programming of complex parts has been made easier and more reliable with the addition of automatic collision checking of the tool shank and holder, as well as the cutter, for

BobCAD-CAM, Inc. develops CAD/CAM CNC machining software for manufacturing businesses. They have just released the new v27 series of CAD CAM software ranging from 2.5 Axis to 3, 4 & full 5 Axis simultaneous CNC machining. Their CAD CAM products improve workflow efficiency by streamlining the process of selecting tools, materials and cutting strategies which can be very time consuming and produces the numeric code that the machine requires to actually machine the part fast and error free. In addition to CAM machining enhancements, the v27 software has received a major overhaul on the CAD design side making the overall performance improvements of the product significant. “I am just really excited for the users to get their hands on this software as this is our largest and most robust CAD CAM upgrade that we have developed to date,” said Greg Myers, who oversees Software Development at BobCAD-CAM. The new v27 CAD CAM release is significant

Aras® today announced an OEM licensing program for its advanced PLM platform and technology. Under the program, global independent software providers (ISVs) can license, rebrand and repackage Aras’s proven capabilities as their own. ISVs can license the entire product lifecycle management suite or a subset of the underlying platform technology. Aras established the program as a growth strategy in response to market demand for its advanced technology. “As global enterprise software providers move aggressively to enter new markets and deliver new functionality to customers, they have to consider how fast they can get to market with the right capabilities,” said Robert Parker, group vice president at IDC. “What Aras is doing by OEM licensing their platform technology and solutions is quite interesting because it gives ISVs a new option to consider that can help them move quickly and offer a competitive alternative.” The Aras technology is particularly attractive to global providers of

Visual 200 International Inc. (http://www.visual-2000.com) announces that Canadian outdoor retailer Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) has selected its Product Lifecycle Management solution. MEC is planning to use a phased-in approach to implement the Visual PLM.net solution to manage all aspects of the brand manufacturing process for MEC brand apparel and hard goods products. MEC maintains a hands-on approach to design and manufactures products that are functional, durable and of a high quality. In order to facilitate this strategy for the longer term, it was critical that MEC deploy an integrated solution to replace the multiple-siloed approach to data management and reporting. MEC selected Visual 2000 as their PLM partner because they feel that Visual is best able to support current and future business requirements from a functional and technical perspective. MEC's Project Leader, Sharon Umbach commented, "We are excited to work with Visual 2000 and are looking forward to the benefits of a modern PLM system that has
