SolidCAM will be exhibiting at Euromold 2013. From December 03-06, the fair will be held at Frankfurt/Main Exhibition Center. SolidCAM will exhibit in hall 8, booth J134. This year is Euromold’s 20th year, which provides an ideal opportunity for SolidCAM, the leader in SolidWorks integrated CAM, to present its latest and greatest contributions to machining in the moldmaking industry. Moldmaking is a competitive industry and its main challenge is short delivery times. In this industry it is necessary to combine excellent toolpath quality with optimal performance.  SolidCAM has a powerful CAM solution for any factory in the moldmaking industry. In SolidCAM’s latest version, there have been major enhancements in its revolutionary iMachining 3D, HSM and Simultaneous 5 Axis modules, that provide a winning combination for mold and insert machining. iMachining 3D automatically produces a complete, ready to run CNC program. It generates optimal cutting conditions to rough, rest rough and semi-finish a complete

Delcam will demonstrate the latest developments in its complete range of CADCAM software at the Southern Manufacturing exhibition to be held in Farnborough, UK, on 12th and 13th February. Highlights will include the new Vortex area clearance strategy in both the PowerMILL and FeatureCAM CAM systems, extra modelling for manufacturing tools in the PowerSHAPE design software and improvements to the Delcam Electrode package for the integrated design, machining and inspection of electrodes. The Vortex strategy for high-speed area clearance, for which Delcam has a patent pending, has been developed by the company specifically to gain the maximum productivity from solid carbide tooling, in particular those designs that can give deeper cuts, and therefore higher metal-removal rates, by using the full flute length as the cutting surface.  It can be used for two- and three-axis roughing, three-plus-two-axis area clearance and for rest machining based on stock models or reference toolpaths. Unlike other high-speed

Visitors to the 20th Euromold exhibition can learn how WorkNC automatically generates 5-axis toolpaths from existing 3-axis paths. Training Manager Juergen Frank will present “WorkNC Auto5-Innovation With Short Tools” during the exhibition’s Rapid Prototyping conference in hall 11 on December 5. WorkNC Auto 5 has been described as a unique and revolutionary innovation in the field of 5-axis CNC machining. Users automatically generate 5-axis collision-free programs based on existing 3-axis toolpaths while taking into account the specific kinematics of the 5-axis milling center selected. The new WorkNC Dental V4 will feature on WorkNC’s booth – F22 in hall 8.  This latest version of the dental solution provides a wide range of innovative automatic machining functions for dental prosthesis, whatever the process. It includes new automatic cavity recognition for fully automatic machining on both 3 + 2 and 5-axis machines, through the faultless detection of concurrent or diverging insertion axes. This new functionality

Centric Software, Inc. has earned a coveted spot on the prestigious Red Herring Top 100 Global list after competing in a comprehensive, global selection process. To earn its place on the 2013 Top 100 Global list, Centric—maker of PLM software for retail, apparel, footwear, luxury and consumer goods companies—first won a prized position on the Red Herring Top 100 List for North America. The Top 100 Global competition subsequently evaluated Top 100 winners from North American, Europe and Asia before naming the 2013 Top 100 Global list. "Choosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list of candidates from across the globe to the Top 100 Winners. We believe Centric embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Centric should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was

Applied Software, a leading service provider of design technology optimization and a Construction Specialized, Platinum Partner Reseller for Autodesk® design software for architects, engineers, construction owners and manufacturing facilities, will be a premier exhibitor (Booth #2422) at this year’s Autodesk University (AU), at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, December 3-5, 2013. Applied Software’s Construction Technology Group has developed a suite of professional services to assist construction owners in the Pre-design, Design, Construction and Post-occupancy stages of building project lifecycles. "We are excited to showcase our Construction Technology Group service offerings at Autodesk University,” commented Richard Burroughs, President, CEO and founder of Applied Software. “This group is uniquely qualified to provide construction owners with a path to facilitate the design process through mobile field solutions, building information modeling, and point layout placement, import, and export.” The Construction Technology Group has introduced an "Autodesk BIM 360 Field Mobile Field Technology Solution" for tracking field issues, checklists, punch lists, and safety and quality compliance checklists. This

DST announced the release of Dynamic Designer Motion (DDM) for Solid Edge V10.0 which brings increased integration between DDM and Solid Edge Simulation. Dynamic Designer Motion for Solid Edge performs Kinematic and Dynamic motion simulation on mechanical assemblies designed in Siemens’ Solid Edge CAD system. DDM is integrated into Solid Edge as an add-on and extends the Solid Edge User interface and simulation capabilities to include Kinematics and Dynamics. These simulations are performed right inside of Solid Edge directly on the Solid Edge parts and assemblies without requiring any data translation. Dynamic Designer Motion for Solid Edge Version 10 introduces a new capability that allows the dynamic forces calculated by DDM to be directly applied to a Solid Edge Simulation Study thereby allowing the stresses that result from the dynamic loads to be calculated in a seamless and accurate manner. “One of the biggest challenges for designers of moving parts and assemblies is

UK-based reinforced concrete and civil engineering contractor Cidon Construction have selected Tekla software for concrete modelling and project planning as they adopt Building Information Modelling (BIM) in an effort to improve their business productivity. Since the company formed in 2000, Cidon have evolved to provide a wide range of construction services as both a subcontractor and principle contractor. When Managing Director Ciaran Donnelly saw a presentation by Eric Lindquist of Adjustable Forms Inc. a Tekla user in the USA, he began to understand why Tekla was the most appropriate software for contractors like Cidon who plan and pour in-situ concrete. “It was great to see somebody like Eric, a construction professional, who does what we do, talking about how we as concrete contractors can work smarter and manage more of our processes in one place using BIM. For me it was obvious that we could improve our efficiency and be more competitive by changing how we

AVEVA today announced the AVEVA World Plant User Meetings, India, which are being held in Mumbai on 28 November 2013 and in Delhi on 29 November 2013.
