Toshiba Machine Selects Aras Innovator to Improve Design Processes, Enhance Product Quality, and Manage Global Product Information
Aras®, the next leader in enterprise Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software, today announced that Toshiba Machine has selected Aras Innovator® to streamline design and manufacturing processes as the company continues to expand internationally.
Autodesk Envisions New Automotive Workflow, Refines Alias for Future Generations
This week, Autodesk published a blog post announcing its strategy to cater to the auto industry with a bundle comprising Autodesk Alias, VRED, and Studio Wall.
Taking bill of materials management into the cloud allows small engineering companies—such as hardware startups–and contract manufacturers to track and share data and offers easy BOM data import from design tools, said the two co-founders of openBoM.
Autodesk just announced that it has acquired Solid Angle, maker of Arnold, a ray-tracing image renderer for high-quality 3D animation and visual effects creation. Arnold was co-developed with Sony Pictures Imageworks and is now their main renderer. Autodesk says Arnold (not an awesome product name, but must have a great backstory) is used by over “500 studios and thousands of independent artists” including on project such as the Academy Award-winning films Ex Machina and The Martian and the Emmy Award-winning Game of Thrones.
Autodesk Formit 360 - SketchUp to Revit Converter - Game Changer
At one point in time, Autodesk was seriously considering purchasing SketchUp from Google. In the end, it was purchased by Trimble. Afterwards, many of the SketchUp development team left to join Autodesk. This team created Autodesk FormIt , a product for creative sketch design.
Introducing openBoM: a Cloud Based BoM Tool for Manufacturing Companies and Hardware Startups that Facilitates Data Handoff in Distributed Environments
Manufacturing is changing and with it comes a need to change the way BoMs are managed. The change is brought about by several trends in the market. These include globalization of manufacturing and supply chain, a growing number of new hardware developers, a surge in the maker movement, increased reliance on contract manufacturing, and variety of new manufacturing practices including adoption of internet and mobile tools and technologies.
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.
