Altium Limited has announced that it intends to begin a corporate reorganization to best serve the needs of their customers and partners in key growth markets. This includes the relocation of the PCB CAD Division and its core R&D team as well as executive and senior management to San Diego, CA as the major step. The relocation to San Diego, where Altium has had a long-established sales and operational presence, represents a natural next-step in the implementation of Altium’s renewed growth strategy. It is a result of the focus on PCB design tools and solutions for the PCB design market. The decision was made to allow Altium’s CAD division to be more accessible to customers and partners, while still offering global growth potential. "This move to the U.S. will not only allow Altium to be closer to customers in key markets," says Martin Harris, Chief Sales Officer at Altium, "it will also

To make engineering resources and critical content more discoverable at the point of need, Knovel has introduced the Knovel® Software Development Kit (SDK) for Microsoft® SharePoint®. This toolkit allows enterprises using SharePoint as a Knowledge Management System to seamlessly integrate with Knovel's engineering resources. When users research topics and query internal references on SharePoint, they will also find search results highlighting resources available on Knovel. This integration not only improves productivity, but it creates greater awareness of resources that are available in an enterprise. Last summer, Knovel launched a new cloud-based platform that was completely re-designed to ensure trusted content is discoverable, answers are actionable and the overall experience is seamless -- easily integrating into the engineer's workflow. With the new platform, Knovel will offer APIs that allow integration with a variety of enterprise systems. Knovel SDK for Microsoft SharePoint is the first offering in a series of integration SDKs in the works. "To be productive, engineering teams need

Creaform today announces the launch of the next generation of HandySCAN 3D laser scanners, which have been completely re-engineered for optimum speed, accuracy and portability. “Creaform has again revolutionized 3D scanning technology,” explained Daniel Brown, Product Manager. “No other 3D scanners can offer, in a single product, this level of accuracy, speed, portability and ease of use. This makes it the best 3D scanner, in all categories combined, in the market today.” The new HandySCAN 300 and HandySCAN 700 provide ground-breaking accuracy, resolution and substantially higher measurement rates—all in truly portable device. The benefits of the metrology-grade HandySCAN 3D’s are truly compelling: 40% more accurate with a volumetric accuracy of 60µm/m. 25 times faster than former generation. TRUaccuracy™ feature ensures accurate measurements in real life operating conditions Unmatched versatility: Limitless 3D scanning possibilities, regardless of the part size, complexity, material, or color. Quick set-up: Get up and running in less than 2 minutes. Automatic mesh output: Get ready-to-use files as soon as data acquisition is complete—and integrate within your workflow without any post-processing. HandySCAN 3D scanners can be used at all

Creaform today announced the launch of two completely new versions of the Go!SCAN 3D scanner. Both versions provide unmatched fast and reliable 3D measurements, while offering the easiest portable 3D scanning experience on the market. The Go!SCAN 50 was designed to measure the shape of medium to larger parts and offers optimal flexibility. The Go!SCAN 20 delivers maximum resolution and is dedicated for use with smaller objects with intricate details, making it the perfect companion for 3D printers. Customers will attest to the Go!SCAN 3D’s multitude of benefits: High speed: Typical objects are scanned in five minutes or less. Professional-grade measurements: The Go!SCAN 3D provides an accuracy of up to 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) and resolution of up to 0.2 mm (0.008 in.). Full-color 3D models: Users can easily and simultaneously capture of high-quality geometry and colors. TRUsimplicity™: Extremely simple scanning process. Point and shoot: No preparation or complicated setup is required. The scanner is up-and-running in less than two minutes. Go!SCAN 3D scanners are tailored to the unique needs of: Product development engineers and technicians from all industries Engineers who

Creaform today announced the launch of VXmodel, its 3D scan data post-treatment software module. VXmodel enables users to finalize 3D scan data to use directly in any CAD or 3D printing software. VXmodel is simple, yet powerful. It includes only the features necessary to complement CAD software. Because it is fully integrated with VXelements, Creaform’s 3D software platform, it eliminates the need for design professionals to open, learn and use third-party software for most applications. With VXmodel acting as an integrated bridge, users have all the tools they need to prepare their 3D-Scan files for CAD or 3D-print solutions in one easy-to-master, intuitive application. Within VXelements, VXmodel offers several advantages: Alignment: Use VXmodel’s tool to constrain 3D scans using datums/entities so that users can start their design processes on a strong foundation. Geometrical entities and cross-sections: VXmodel’s highly flexible and user-friendly interface lets users quickly segment a mesh into all the primitive entities, cross-sections and surfaces required to complete the final CAD design. Mesh

Building Systems Design, Inc. (BSD) today announced the release of an updated BSD LinkMan-E software product that coordinates specifications with a Building Information Model (BIM) created in Autodesk's Revit software. The new LinkMan-E release has two totally reconfigured dashboards that clearly show correlations and discrepancies between information in Revit and the corresponding specification text in BSD SpecLink-E, BSD's automated specification writing product. BSD LinkMan-E is an interoperability tool that presents data from Revit and SpecLink to allow review and coordination by a project manager. The two new dashboard views that compare the data from the two applications can be collapsed to show discrepancies, and any missing information in the specifications can be automatically activated in SpecLink from within the LinkMan program. The new release of LinkMan-E also includes color-coded tabs that display more complete data from Revit and the actual specification text from SpecLink. In addition, there is a keynote tab

Arena Solutions today announced that the company's continued focus on the challenges facing mid-enterprise clients drove a 130 percent plus increase in average deal size and a 200 percent plus increase in total subscriptions from new customers in Q1 2014 over the same period a year ago. This remarkable growth in deal size reflects the increasingly larger, enterprise customers that Arena has been winning. This sector is recognizing the significant financial and competitive gains that PLM and, more specifically, cloud-based PLM can offer. "It's not just engineering management who recognize the value of cloud-based PLM," said Arena CFO, Ken Bozzini. "CFOs have also taken notice. For the most part, CFOs have already achieved the benefit of ERP, and, because nearly all mid-enterprises use ERP today, the ERP competitive advantage is reduced, and has almost become table stakes. In contrast, cloud-based PLM enables savvy CFOs to play a strategic role and provide their organizations
