A new Center of Experience and an event series enable companies to experience CONTACT’s IoT and PLM platform Elements firsthand. Asia is redefining its role in the global economy: countries like China, India, and Vietnam are increasingly shifting from manufacturing to innovation industries.

ModuleWorks announces the 2025.12 release of its software components for digital manufacturing and digital factory. This latest release of the ModuleWorks SDK offers a range of new, automated features designed to enhance machining efficiency, process safety and part quality. New Corner Finishing for Mold and Die Complex molds and dies often feature deep pockets and sharp internal corners that are difficult to machine due to limited access and tooling constraints. Traditional 3-axis milling relies on long, slender tools, leading to higher costs, greater risk, and residual material that requires manual finishing. ModuleWorks 2025.12 introduces a new Corner Finishing toolpath, designed to overcome these challenges by detecting uncut stock, generating stable tool center lines, and merging optimized paths to minimize repositioning. It automatically adjusts toolpath strategies for both steep and shallow areas, ensuring accurate material removal, high surface quality and reduced manual polishing. FeedControl – User Defined Process Constraints FeedControl dynamically adjusts toolpaths according

ENCY 2.6 is the latest update in the ENCY 2 line and is now available. This release delivers 114 changes focused on more predictable Design behavior, smoother day-to-day workflows, and a broad set of stability and performance fixes. Helical lines in Design: clearer control and geometryThe Helix tool in the Design module has been updated to make setup more flexible and easier to read on screen. You can now use either a surface or an axis as the Base element. When an axis is selected, an on-screen arrow lets you flip the helix direction, and radial dimensions have been replaced with diameter dimensions that are shown directly in the graphics window. When you select a surface as the Base element, diameter parameters are hidden and only Twist By Pitch and Twist by Angle remain, reducing visual noise. You can also specify how far the helix start and end offsets are shifted from the

This CIMdata educational webinar will identify the problem and offer actionable ways to encourage executives to provide and maintain the level of support needed to ensure success. ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA 9 December 2025—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global research, consulting, and education firm specializing in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and the digital transformation it enables, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “Winning the C-Suite: How to Build the Executive Case for Sustained PLM Investment.” The webinar will take place on Thursday, 8 January 2026, at 11:00 a.m. (EST) and last for one hour. PLM initiatives routinely fail to deliver full ROI when top management does not take an active supporting role. Because enterprise PLM initiatives are inherently cross-functional, they require resources spanning disparate areas—such as finance, personnel alignment, and infrastructure—that often fall outside the PLM program manager's scope of control. Gaining initial executive approval is only half the battle; maintaining sustained, high-level
