Engineering and manufacturing organizations continue to face challenges when managing large repositories of 3D models, including manual shape comparison, inconsistent similarity assessments, and the time‑consuming navigation of extensive part libraries. Traditional CAD search and manual similarity methods rely heavily on metadata, naming conventions, or subjective human judgment—approaches that do not scale and often produce inconsistent results. AMC Bridge’s latest technology demonstration, Similar Parts Search, explores how combining artificial intelligence (AI) with advanced 3D geometric processing can address these challenges and significantly improve the discovery, reuse, and evaluation of structurally similar parts across engineering workflows. By leveraging learned geometric representations of 3D models, the POC enables consistent, geometry‑aware similarity detection across large repositories, independent of how parts are named or categorized.

When the founders of AMC Bridge formed our company a quarter century ago, we wanted to help clients with digital transformation – but we realized that technical know-how alone wasn’t enough. We had to develop a deep understanding of our customers – their ambitions, their competition, their existential challenges. What we’ve learned from hundreds of clients while engineering their software ecosystems holds true across enterprises. To move decisively, modern organizations need a secure, open platform that connects data, automates high-value work, and gives stakeholders clear, current context for their next moves.

As engineering software evolves toward increasingly complex, connected, and computation‑heavy workflows, development teams face a pressing challenge: how to build 3D solutions that remain robust, interoperable, and scalable today and in the future. Addressing this challenge, Siemens Digital Industries Software and AMC Bridge co‑hosted the live webinar "Unlock Next Generation 3D Software: Getting Started with Parasolid," offering a deep look into how Parasolid empowers modern 3D applications and how AMC Bridge helps companies implement it successfully.

Work includes tested integrations, UI workflow updates, and ongoing support to reduce manual handoffs and improve traceability across distributed teams. OpenBOM is continuing its partnership with AMC Bridge to support software integrations aimed at improving digital continuity across the product lifecycle. The companies are working to connect design, engineering, and supply chain data through integrations that reduce manual handoffs and support collaboration across distributed teams.

As construction firms continue to struggle with fragmented systems, unstructured data, and time‑consuming manual processes, the need for tighter integration between Building Information Modeling (BIM) environments and construction management platforms is becoming increasingly urgent. To explore a new path forward, AMC Bridge developed the MCP Connector for Autodesk Platform Services® and Procore®—a technology demonstration showcasing how the emerging Model Context Protocol (MCP) and AI‑driven natural language interfaces can streamline workflows and reduce cross‑platform friction.

Despite decades of investment in CAD, PLM, ERP, and manufacturing execution technologies, many manufacturers still operate with fragmented and disconnected engineering data. Product definitions often live across multiple systems, formats, and organizational silos. As a result, manufacturing teams must reconcile incomplete or inconsistent information—leading to supplier confusion, production errors, rework, and delays that impact cost, quality, and delivery performance.
