Desktop Metal Launches ETEC 3D Printer Brand Focused on Industrial Manufacturers
Desktop Metal, a global leader in additive manufacturing technologies for mass production, today announced the launch of ETEC, a new 3D printing brand that will enable EnvisionTEC, the original inventor of digital light processing (DLP) technology, to better connect with industrial customers.
This example shows how to create a 5-axis robot machining project for sculpting using RhinoCAM and RoboDK. This project uses a KUKA robot synchronized with a linear rail and a two-axis turntable (9 synchronized axes).
Desktop Metal has released DM HH Stainless Steel (DM HH-SS), a custom stainless steel alloy that combines high strength and hardness with corrosion resistance, for additive manufacturing on the Production System platform. Customers can now leverage the Production System’s Single Pass Jetting (SPJ) technology to produce DM HH-SS components at scale across a range of industries where high strength and hardness are required, including oil & gas, automotive, consumer products, and medical devices.
Aras Announces Minerva Merger for Best-in-Class PLM Functionality in Medical Devices and High-Tech Electronics
Aras, which provides the most powerful low-code platform with applications to design, build, and operate complex products, today announced the merger of Minerva Group, the leading Aras Innovator PLM implementation partner. Minerva brings best-in-class PLM functionality—built on the Aras platform—for medical devices and high-tech electronics companies. The company also brings extensive vertical industry expertise in automotive, aerospace, defense, and industrial equipment manufacturing, and will provide Aras with direct, local representation in the Nordic region and the Netherlands. The merger is effective immediately.
Desktop Metal Receives $7.9 Million System Order from Major German Car Maker for Mass Production of Automotive Components
Desktop Metal, a leader in mass production additive manufacturing (AM) solutions, announced that, the company has received a $7.9 million order for binder jet additive manufacturing systems from a major German car maker for the mass production of metal automotive powertrain components at scale.
Desktop Metal announced it has qualified D2 tool steel for the Studio System 2, an accessible metal 3D printing platform that offers customers the easiest way to print high-performance metal parts in low volumes for pre-production and end-use applications.
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.
