Desktop Metal raises $65 million to bring metal 3D printing to more manufacturers
Metal 3D printing company Desktop Metal has raised $65 million in a round of funding led by Ford, with participation from Future Fund.Metal 3D printing company Desktop Metal has raised $65 million in a round of funding led by Ford, with participation from Future Fund.Founded in 2015, Burlington, Massachusetts-based Desktop Metal is setting out to make 3D metal printing more accessible to manufacturers and engineers outside highly specialized industries, as well as reducing costs and turnaround times for companies that already manufacture metal-based goods. Desktop Metal’s “end-to-end metal 3D printing solutions” include the $120,000 Desktop Metal Studio System, which is aimed at helping engineers build prototypes.
Onshape has announced the addition of two new add-ons for its cloud-based CAD design tool: SIMSolid Cloud and VisualCAMc by MecSoft. They were launched at the Pacific Design and Manufacturing Show, which was going on at the same time as Solidworks World.
MecSoft Corporation, the developer of industry leading CAM software solutions, has announced the availability of RhinoCAM 2018 for the newly released Rhinoceros 6 product.
Leading German Automotive Manufacturer Chooses Aras
Aras® today announced that the BMW Group is implementing the Aras PLM Platform as its backbone for test data management. This system will support planning, scheduling, execution, and documentation of vehicle tests and test results at various stages of vehicle development.
Manufacturing startup releases unprecedented pricing technology for CNC machining
Pricing in manufacturing and the search for the true economic cost of a machined part has been a challenge for manufacturers as long standing as the industry itself. According to recent studies, the existing pricing process results in cost discrepancies of up to 10X for an identical product (or part), depending on the company making it. Receiving a price typically takes days or weeks. Kentucky-based startup MakeTime launched their solution today: Network Pricing.
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.
