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.
Stratasys Ltd., a leader in polymer 3D printing solutions, introduced the newest printer in the company’s growing portfolio of 3D printing solutions for the dental industry, the Stratasys Origin One Dental.
The new capital will help to expand the types of engineering applications the software serves in the product development process and expand the global team.
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.
