In two hours or less, you can create fairly sophisticated animations from your CAD system's solid models so that people who know nothing more than how to use Microsoft Word and PowerPoint on their Windows-based computers can better understand a part or assembly design

Ambulance manufacturing is as much about design, engineering and technology as it is durability and functionality.

Must product life-cycle management (PLM) systems be up front and center? No. But by being there it can add assistance for collaboration and design.

The CAMWorksXpress 2.5D software package from Geometric accelerates computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) programming time by providing automation tools like feature-based machining.  CNC code can be generated with a few clicks. The package has the capability to increase machining productivity with optimized toolpaths.

Advances in simulation software include integration with other CAx systems, simulations of more domains, and stunning virtual reality.

Flame Treatment Technology a Green Move for GM; A Cleaner Cleaner; Freudenberg's “Simple” Devices May Make Big Differences in Battery Systems; SolidWorks “Sustainability” Offers Real-Time Green Solutions; Siemens’ “Ctrl-Energy” Monitors Machine Tool Energy Use

A few hundred enhancements to a single software application? For some Applications, that number suggests a questionable software release. In mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD), that number is an embarrassment of riches—for users.
