SOLIDWORKS Sell Expands Augmented Reality Capabilities for Android Users
Augmented reality (AR) combines the technology of a camera and software to superimpose 3D objects into a real-life environment in real time. SOLIDWORKS Sell has utilized this interactive technology and has expanded its AR capabilities to Android users with the help of Google’s ARCore. Now, even more people get to have fun customizing and viewing products in their own homes.
World Economic Forum Selects Onshape as a 2019 “Technology Pioneer”
Onshape, the leading cloud product development platform for design and manufacturing teams, has been selected as one of the world’s 56 most promising “Technology Pioneers” by the World Economic Forum. Onshape speeds up product development with an all-in-one system combining CAD, release management, workflow, collaboration, analytics, admin tools, and an API with more than 50 engineering applications.
Fusion 360 Gets Stronger and Smarter With a New Manufacturing Extension and Cost Insights for Generative Design
Fusion 360 wouldn’t be what it is today without our customers. They use it to design and make incredible things, from lightweight motorcycle swingarms to powerful industrial processing equipment. As a cloud-based manufacturing ecosystem, it also wouldn’t grow without our customers, which is why we’re excited to announce three new sets of capabilities—capabilities that we’ve designed and implemented as a direct response to our customers’ needs.
Aras and Modelon Announce Strategic Collaboration for Integrated System Modeling to Support Enterprise MBSE in the Digital Thread
Aras, the only resilient platform provider for digital industrial applications, today announced a strategic collaboration with their partner, Modelon, an industry leader in model-based systems engineering (MBSE). This will enable customers to incorporate and utilize the globally-used, open standard systems modelling language, Modelica. Aras extends its vision for Simulation Management and mixed-fidelity simulation using a systems-centric, unified data model across all levels of model fidelity, physics and disciplines. Aras provides tool-agnostic simulation automation to meet the demanding simulation needs for connected multidisciplinary products.
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.
Recent investments of $110M from top tier investors are helping support Aras’s 55% annual growth rate, acquisitions, headcount increases to almost 500 people, and internal process retooling.
Customer presentations from Microsoft and GM described the scale and scope of problems that can be solved with Aras Innovator.
Aras continues to focus on the product lifecycle from requirements and systems engineering through simulation, design, manufacturing, to MRO.
Onshape brings cloud-native CAD and PDM to your engineering teams. AMC Bridge connects it to the rest of your
business. Since 2013, we have helped manufacturers extend Onshape beyond out-of-the-box functionality by integrating
it with PLM, ERP, and MES systems, migrating legacy data, and supporting adoption across complex engineering
environments.
AMC Bridge, a software technology company serving engineering, manufacturing, and construction organizations, announced the successful delivery of a digital thread initiative for a leading research and engineering organization supporting complex, mission-critical programs. The engagement established a connected digital engineering environment that links systems engineering, design, manufacturing, and testing data, creating a scalable foundation for improved decision-making and future AI adoption.
Engineering organizations developing complex products increasingly struggle to maintain visibility and traceability across requirements, system architecture, manufacturing, and validation activities. As programs grow in complexity, disconnected engineering tools and siloed data often create gaps in communication, slow decision-making, and limit the ability to understand the true status of products and programs.
Industry experts from Tech Soft 3D, Medtronic, AMC Bridge, and Tech-Clarity explore the growing demand for 3D engineering data across the digital thread and reveal how leading manufacturers are approaching the build-or-buy decision. The webinar examines 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.
