GrabCAD, developer of the CAD collaboration tool Workbench, is announcing immediate availability of rendering through a partnership with Lagoa, the cloud rendering solution. The Lagoa integration makes it easy for engineers to quickly produce product renderings from within GrabCAD Workbench. This seamless integration with Lagoa eases workflows, with no need for exporting and importing between the programs. "GrabCAD users love rendering, so it was important for us to deliver high-quality and high-performance rendering functionality as part of the GrabCAD experience," said Hardi Meybaum, CEO of GrabCAD. "We've chosen to work with Lagoa because it delivers the high-quality results GrabCAD users expect without forcing users out of the GrabCAD application. This integration makes it easier to get started, and combines ease of use with top-tier capabilities like HDR environments and advanced materials effects, without downloads or installations. We're excited to offer this to Workbench users." Lagoa's 3D platform can be used with GrabCAD

Longtime CimatronE customer, Drilling Co., based in Castelvetro (Modena), Italy, has successfully deployed CimatronE 11 across its various gun drilling operations, such as deep drilling in molds, plates, rods, shafts, and gears. New and enhanced functionality available to Drilling Co. includes full user control over all gun drilling sequences (such as the drill's spindle speed, spindle direction, feed rate and distances), and safer machining with collision prevention during connecting motions and holder collision check against the part, actual remaining stock and clamps. Says Drilling Co.'s Vice President, Fabrizio Rossi: "The new version of CimatronE provides maximum benefit at every stage of the gun drilling process. It's given us safe drilling, reduced machining time, and increased tool life, as well as easier programming with full user control. "Today, with our multi-axis machines and CimatronE, we can drill holes that are longer than two meters deep, enabling us to manufacture parts that are perfectly calibrated. "We've also seen

Altair today announced a major achievement in the electronics industry that is expected to significantly accelerate the development of new smartphones, tablets, home appliances and other consumer electronics while enabling engineers to create a wider range of durable designs. Working together, Altair and Korea's LG Electronics (LGE) have successfully created a seamlessly integrated drop-test simulation automation system which enables LGE engineers to conduct smartphone drop-test simulations within 24 hours—a crucial procedure that normally requires one to two weeks for companies across the smartphone industry. Employing Altair's HyperWorks suite of computer-aided engineering tools—including HyperMesh for pre-processing, the RADIOSS solver, the HyperView post-processor, and its embedded automation framework—the Altair-LGE team automated many of the time-consuming manual tasks associated with FEA modeling , analysis set up and post-processing to carry out the drop-test simulation. "Altair and LGE's collaboration on this drop-test simulation automation system helps LGE to be even more competitive and bring a greater variety
