Collaboration has always made the business world go round. And electronic tools for sharing information — everything from email to videoconferencing to PDF documents — have advanced the art of sharing data exponentially in the past 20 years.
MecSoft Corp., the developer of industry leading CAD/CAM software solutions, has announced the availability of Visual3DPRINT 2016, the newest version of MecSoft’s standalone 3D printing solution. Visual3DPRINT is a plug-in from MecSoft Corp. that runs inside the VisualCAD modeler. This product offers efficient, easy and automatic tools for preparing 3D data that otherwise cannot be 3D printed. The combination of VisualCAD’s modeling and extensive file import functionality, and Visual3DPRINT’s data preparation tools enables the user to 3D print models from almost any input source, and any major 3D format
CloudDDM Adds Unique Manufacturing Capability to New Onshape App Store
CloudDDM, LLC, a company dedicated to delivering direct digital manufacturing (DDM) services, has developed a free online application called PrintNow, which enables Onshape users to quote and order finished 3D-printed parts directly from their Onshape dashboards. The first app in the new Onshape App Store that directly facilitates part production, PrintNow introduces manufacturing capabilities into the Onshape platform, empowering Onshape users even further.
CloudDDM Accelerates Additive Manufacturing with GM Hire
CloudDDM, LLC, a company dedicated to delivering direct digital manufacturing (DDM) services, has appointed Gary Fudge as General Manager. With over 20 years of experience bringing additive manufacturing and rapid prototyping solutions to market, Fudge will help CloudDDM change the face of manufacturing by delivering overnight, high-quality 3D printed parts to customers throughout in the United States.
Siemens held its December-quarter earnings call this morning and, not surprising, CD-adapco was a headline topic. From Siemens CEO Joe Kaeser, during his opening remarks:
MecSoft Corporation, the developer of industry leading CAD/CAM software solutions, has announced the availability of VisualCAM 2016 for SOLIDWORKS, the latest version of MecSoft’s integrated Gold Certified CAM solution for SOLIDWORKS.
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.
