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.
OpenBOM New SuiteApp Achieves ‘Built for NetSuite’ Status
OpenBOM, a leading manufacturing data management system provider, announced today that its OpenBOM SuiteApp has achieved the ‘Built for NetSuite’ status. The new SuiteApp, built using the Oracle NetSuite SuiteCloud Computing Platform, is a real-time collaborative product-centric data management system that provides advanced engineering bill of material CAD integrations for NetSuite.
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.
