The latest release of Siemens’ Solid Edge® software (Solid Edge ST7) includes new functionality that significantly accelerates the product design process. Enhancements to 3D modeling and image rendering enable certain tasks to be performed up to five times faster than the previous version. Additional productivity and efficiency is achieved through enhancements in design management and the Solid Edge user interface. In conjunction with the release of Solid Edge ST7, Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) business is also expanding its portfolio of in-house and third party apps that further extend Solid Edge beyond its core design capabilities. These apps enhance Solid Edge with integrated solutions for standard parts libraries, simulation, manufacturing and mobile device support. “At Siemens we develop software for our users,” said Karsten Newbury, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Mainstream Engineering Software, Siemens PLM Software. “Solid Edge ST7 significantly elevates the user experience; its new enhancements help ensure a

Alphacam CAD/CAM software is vital for a specialist cardboard box die manufacturer to comply with European guidelines on Braille. Truform Laser Dies supply tools to the biggest cardboard box producers in Ireland. CNC programmer Ruairí Connolly says many boxes require Braille, particularly ones containing pharmaceutical products. Male brass forces and female blocks are included with the dies for cutting and creasing those boxes, to ensure Braille is embossed into the cardboard. Until recently, Truform sub-contracted that part of the operation, but have now brought it in-house with a Diciesse Alcor CNC machine, driven by Alphacam. “We import a 2D drawing into Alphacam and apply the tools to create the protruding domes on the force, and the corresponding holes on the block. When these are married together during die-cutting at the box manufacturer’s production process, it puts the required Braille dots on to the cartons on the printed sheet.” The dies themselves are laser-cut from

ZW3D today announced that it has expanded the reach of its highly anticipated new version of ZW3D CAD/CAM 2014 globally by hosting multiple seminars and participating in numerous exhibitions around the world throughout the year. In partnership with the resellers from the globe, ZW3D will launch a Global Tour this year, exhibiting at trade shows and conducting seminars across Europe, Asia and America. ZW3D will attend around 5 events per month in 2014 to deliver the CAD/CAM market an emerging and more powerful solution. Quick Glance at Events on ZW3D Global Tour: From March 31 to April 4, ZW3D and its French reseller attended Industrie Paris 2014 as exhibitor. From May 7–10, ZW3D and its Portuguese reseller attended MOLDPLÁS 2014 Portugal as exhibitor. From June 3-6, ZW3D and its Polish reseller attended ITM POLAND 2014 as exhibitor. From June 19-22, ZW3D and its Thailand reseller will be present at Manufacturing Expo 2014 Thailand. Other dozens of local

Delcam’s reseller in Brazil, SEACAM, will demonstrate the company’s complete range of design, machining and inspection software at the Feira da Mecanica exhibition to be held in Sao Paulo from 20th to 24th May.  The centrepiece of stand D099 will be a demonstration of machining by robot using a Motoman robot.  SEACAM will also highlight new functionality in Delcam’s PowerSHAPE Pro CAD software, in the PowerMILL, PartMaker and FeatureCAM CAM systems, and in the PowerINSPECT inspection software. Robots can be extremely cost-effective for machining large parts, for the production of larger items of tooling, and for the trimming and drilling of panels in metal or composites.  Delcam’s PowerMILL Robot software makes it as easy to program a robot for machining as it is to program a five-axis machine tool.  Furthermore, with PowerMILL Robot, users have access to the comprehensive range of multi-axis machining strategies within PowerMILL.  PowerMILL Robot can be used to

Remcom announces a strategic partnership with AR Europe, a supplier of power amplifiers, antennas, and EMC testing equipment and support.  The partnership will expose Remcom’s Electromagnetic Simulation Software and services to a broader audience and make its solutions more easily accessible to European customers. Michael Hicks, director of business development for Remcom, said the decision to partner with AR Europe was the result of their engineering expertise and entrenchment in the European electromagnetics market.  “We wanted to consolidate our European distribution points in order to create efficiencies both for Remcom and for our customers.  With that in mind, we set out to find a partner with three key advantages: established longevity in the region, proven sales understanding of the market, and high-level technical resources to provide engineering support to our customers.  AR Europe is an exceptional fit for these criteria and will be a natural extension of Remcom in the many European countries

Infosys has been recognized as a winner in the 2014 Simulating Reality contest. The contest is organized by MSC Software, a leader of multidisciplinary simulation solutions. The winning team from Infosys used MSC’s simulation technologies to better diagnose osteoporosis and accurately quantify fracture risk. Osteoporosis, a disease characterized by a decrease in bone mass and density, leads to diminished bone strength and increased risk of fracture. Currently, medical practitioners estimate bone fracture risk for patients through qualitative methods including physical examination, CT scans, X-rays and measurement of bone mineral density (BMD), and physiological parameters such as gender, age, and weight. The innovative solution designed by Infosys applies the proven principles of mechanical engineering to understand the biomechanics of the human vertebrae and reduce the scope of errors in estimating fracture risks. Highlights The Infosys team developed a solution using computer-assisted design and finite element analysis (FEA) tools to study mechanics of vertebrae taking into account various

Delcam’s Advanced Manufacturing Solutions were showcased at the recent half-day seminar at Aurangabad in Maharashtra, India.  The event was held to update prospective buyers and Delcam customers on technologies like multi-axis machining, machining with robots, CAD-based inspection and revolutionary Delcam technologies like the award-winning Vortex high-efficiency, area-clearance strategy. Aurangabad is one of the major industrial areas in Maharashtra and its four large industrial areas are home to many Indian companies as well as multinational major corporations.  The area is well known for its automotive suppliers and a large proportion of these companies are Delcam customers.  Regional representatives of Delcam’s leading machine-tool and cutting-tool partners were also invited to the seminar. Delcam experts demonstrated the benefits of using multi-axis CAM from PowerMILL for the programming of large moulds and dies.  In addition to this, it was shown with what ease large parts can be measured on the shop floor itself by using an
