SOLIDWORKS xDesign is arguably the most hotly anticipated addition to the SOLIDWORKS portfolio for many years. It represents a paradigm shift in design and is so much more than 3D CAD. It has been shown at various stages of development at previous SOLIDWORKS Worlds but 2019 is the year it will be available commercially.
Key takeaways:
Aras’ mission is simple—Great, Good, Important—great for shareholders, good for stakeholders, and solving important problems.

AMC Bridge has developed the AI-Assisted KiCad–Codebeamer MCP Integration Demo, a technology demonstration that introduces a new approach to requirements-driven design validation and compliance automation.
AMC Bridge, a trusted software technology partner for engineering, manufacturing, and construction enterprises, 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.
If you thought the 2025 tech story was “AI everywhere,” you only got the first chapter. Yes, AI is transforming how software gets built—but that’s only one part of the plot. Behind the scenes, engineering workflows are shifting, data pipelines are being rethought, development methodologies are wobbling, hardware ceilings are showing, and even energy and sustainability are back on the table. To make sense of what comes next, we sat down with AMC Bridge experts working across training, engineering, and delivery. Their perspectives cut across tools, workflows, engineering culture, system design, and big-picture tech forces. Here’s where things are heading this year—and what’s worth watching as the curve continues to bend.
As software vendors modernize their 3D platforms, transitioning to a reliable and widely adopted geometry kernel becomes essential for improving modeling accuracy, streamlining development, and accelerating innovation. To support organizations on this journey, Siemens Digital Industries Software and AMC Bridge hosted a joint webinar focused on Parasolid implementation. Discover how vendors can speed up product development by leveraging a PLM Components–based ecosystem and collaborating with engineering teams experienced in advanced geometry workflows.
