Cement supply giant LafargeHolcim in conjunction with IBM Services has developed a digital platform aimed at improving the design of roads.
LafargeHolcim said the "ORIS" tool can reduce project costs by as much as a third, and carbon emissions by a half, as well as tripling the service life of a road.
MakerBot Announces MakerBot CloudPrint
MakerBot announced a new service called MakerBot CloudPrint, which is intended to deliver a seamless 3D printing experience to clients.
Xometry, the largest U.S. marketplace for custom manufacturing, has unveiled its 2D Technical Drawing Marketplace, an innovative platform to expand access to prospective job orders for 3,000+ American machine shops.
New 3D Planning Tool, PlanBase, to Help Increase Engagement on Development Proposals
PlanBase is an open-source 3D planning portal where residents and planners alike can easily review planning proposals and comment on them where it matters most. Through data and smart technology, PlanBase democratises the planning process to help drive participation and engagement across all groups of people.
Aras, the only resilient platform provider for digital industrial applications, announced the release of a new application, Digital Twin Core, adding to the set of Aras low-code capabilities for creating and managing digital twins. The Aras Digital Twin Core application provides powerful new functionality for defining the digital twin configuration – the virtual representation of a specific physical asset or unique product instance. This provides the necessary context to interpret and analyze Internet of Things (IoT) sensor data for complicated scenarios such as predictive maintenance, performance optimization, over-the-air software updates and others.
MakerBot Cloud Integrates with Google for Education
MakerBot, a global leader in 3D printing and subsidiary of Stratasys, joins the Google for Education Integrated Solutions Initiative to deliver an even more powerful 3D printing experience for teachers and students.
Hosted by Aras and moderated by Josh Epstein, Chief Marketing Officer at Aras, the webinar “From Strategy to Execution: How MIT Lincoln Laboratory Advances Digital Engineering” brought together leaders from MIT Lincoln Laboratory, INCOSE, and AMC Bridge to explore how organizations are connecting engineering information, improving decision-making, and accelerating innovation through digital engineering. The discussion provided practical insights into how digital threads, model-based systems engineering (MBSE), and AI-enabled technologies are helping organizations create more connected and resilient engineering environments.
By Igor Tsinman, President and CEO, AMC Bridge. Most APS projects fail between prototype and production scale. In our work with enterprise engineering organizations, we see a recurring pattern: the platform decision has been made, APIs are available, prototypes show promise, and then the project stalls. Not because of missing capabilities, but because of everything surrounding them: authentication, cost governance, CI/CD pipelines, maintainability, and the effort required to move from demo to production.
The company provides Bentley users with custom development, system integration and workflow automation across design and asset platforms.
AMC Bridge continues strengthening its collaboration with Bentley Systems, Incorporated (Nasdaq: BSY), the infrastructure engineering software company, through its listing in the Bentley Ecosystem Catalog, a centralized resource that helps infrastructure professionals discover complementary applications, data solutions, and professional services to streamline workflows and improve project delivery.
3D engineering data is no longer confined to engineering. It now supports manufacturing, service, supply chain collaboration, digital twins, and emerging AI-driven initiatives. Yet many organizations struggle with a critical question: Should they build custom solutions to unlock and leverage engineering data, buy commercial tools, or combine both approaches? Join industry experts as they explore the growing demand for 3D engineering data across the digital thread and reveal how leading manufacturers are approaching the build-versus-buy decision. The webinar will examine the technical and business challenges of making engineering data accessible across the enterprise, the surprising reality of hybrid build-and-buy strategies, and the factors driving organizations to rethink traditional software decisions.
