Tech Start-up Katerra Aims to Optimize All Aspects of Development
Most of the building services provider's $1.3-billion-plus bookings have come in multifamily construction.
Trevor Schick can’t stop the urge. “Whenever I walk by a construction site, I look in their Dumpster,” the former Hewlett-Packard executive in Silicon Valley admits. “Fifteen percent of the wood from a job site is thrown away! In a factory, if we’re not down to 2%, you’d get a better guy to run that factory. It’s the inefficiency of the [construction] industry that makes you really open your mind. I come home every night with 10 new things to go after. My head is spinning.”
Aras Acquires MRO Player to Close the Product Lifecycle Loop
Aras PLM continues to play offense. The company recently announced it acquired the Impresa Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) business from Infospectrum. The purchase of Impresa looks like a good fit. The idea is to integrate this solution into the Aras PLM suite, Innovator, and offer complementary MRO capabilities to help manufacturers to digitally transform the development and maintenance of complex products.
Seebo CEO Lior Akavia Delivers Keynote at SOLIDWORKS World for Major Announcement
Day 2 of SOLIDWORKS World 2018 conference was amazing! It kicked off with CEO of Seebo, Lior Akavia, taking the main stage to announce a partnership between Seebo and SOLIDWORKS. In his keynote address, Lior gave a preview of the new Seebo add-in to SOLIDWORKS to over 15,000 members of the SOLIDWORKS community.
Desktop Metal Partners with SOLIDWORKS, Introduces New 3D Design Software Tool
A lot of exciting announcements have been coming out of SOLIDWORKS World this week. HP announced a new full-color 3D printing system, while Nano Dimension and Rize both announced new or expanded partnerships with Dassault Systèmes’ SOLIDWORKS brand. Each of those partnerships has a different focal point, and today it’s Desktop Metal’s turn. The young company is partnering with SOLIDWORKS to advance design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) through education, with a focus on educational initiatives and the development of advanced tools for generative design.
MecSoft launches VisualCAMc Public Beta – production CAM for Onshape!

The beta is free and available for anyone who has an Onshape account. The VisualCAMc Beta application can be added by browsing the Onshape App Store and selecting VisualCAMc in the CAM category of applications.
How Seebo and SOLIDWORKS Solve the Challenges of Designing for IoT
Today’s manufacturers are increasingly turning to IoT to meet strategic business objectives – from improving product resilience and efficiency, to growing sales, and boosting customer satisfaction.
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.
