This morning, the Local Motors website got a little bit of an update. As speculated yesterday, the automotive-centric design community is getting some software lovin’ from Siemens PLM in the form of a new software release. Solid Edge Design1. This new iteration of Solid Edge is a scaled down version of the full-blown synchronous modeling tool and with it comes a little catch.

Collaborative innovation is the name of the game and both Seimens PLM and Dassualt are knocking at the door of co-creating possibility. Except it’s less possibility and more actuality. This week both companies have revealed their plans to take collaboration to another a place where you can snuggle up with like-minded people via the warm glow of the web browser to develop ideas. Dassualt dished out their dreams at the Dassault Systemes Customer Conference (DSCC). Friday, Siemens PLM has their big announcement about a collaborative engineering effort with Local Motors, with whom they recently formed a Partnership for a “Revolutionary Crowdsourcing Design Approach.” Here’s how it all breaks down.
If you’re a student, educator or sly enough to get an .edu email from your alma mater, it’s your lucky day. Solid Edge has made Solid Edge Student Edition available for free. So, say you’re a parent who has been trying to convince a young mind about Synchronous Technology and the ability to float (somewhat seamlessly) between synchronous and ordered features. This should aid your plight and make your crazy tirades more effective. Here’s what you need to know and where to get it.
Just look at all the shiny mac-induced fun that happens when a highly branded product company *cough*Apple*cough* wants to develop it’s products, with it’s own product…. or so some would think.
Well, for some of you, it’s time to put that Apple sticker back on your rear windshield. Siemens PLM software has announced the commercial availability for ‘native-support’ of NX6 on the Mac. This makes Siemens PLM the first CAD/PLM company, with Windows PC, Linux and full-on Mac version of their software. Did we ever think it wouldn’t happen?
The NX6 for Mac release has all the 3D modeling features of the Windows and Linux versions, including that good ol’ Synchronous Technology for all your history-based/history-free modeling enjoyment. Here’s some quick facts on the release, one that may surprise you and some video to prove it’s actually real.
