Siemens to acquire LMS International
Siemens’s acquisition of LMS International demonstrates the commitment of the PLM group to integrating tools for design through production. With its own manufacturing as well as design, simulation, and data management Siemens AG has more puzzle pieces than the PLM competitors. Kathleen Maher discusses the acquisition Here on GraphicSpeak.
3D Modeling for the Masses Debuts with Autodesk 123D Design
Autodesk today introduced Autodesk 123D Design, a free 3D modeling tool that allows users to create a digital model and then 3D print or fabricate their idea whether on the iPad, Mac, PC or via their web browser. Autodesk 123D Design allows makers to easily design things without learning complex CAD concepts. Get started with 123D HERE.
A new modality surfaces–But more pixels are needed
Using a tablet for serious productivity tasks like writing a report, creating a slide set, or working on a dense spreadsheet can’t be done comfortably or efficiently on a less than a 13-inch screen and without a keyboard and mouse. But it can be done if a tablet is all you have and you’ve got to get something out. Watching … Read more

We’ve got numbers to review not only stand-alone, but in context with results from bench-marking the company’s previous family of cards.Check … Read more
Aesthetica moves perceived quality simulation into concept design
Icona Solutions today releases Aesthetica Version 4, the latest release of its high-end simulation software for perceived quality simulation and visualization for product design. It builds on earlier versions of the software to enable a continuous cross-functional focus on perceived quality driven from concept design and styling. Read more on the new release on here on GraphicSpeak.
Multitasking, seeing more, and distraction–Or is it?
As some of you know, I am fond of saying the more you can see, the more you can do. It’s not only Peddie’s 2nd law, it’s true. Likewise, I’ve ranted more than once about the dullness of the monitor suppliers in not exploiting multi-monitors. You’d get to sell twice as many if you’d just wake up and push the … Read more
