8 Dec 2009 Battle between modern CAM-systems The first ever open competition event in Russia, called the "Battle Between Modern CAM-Systems", took place on December 3, 2009 between Edgecam and ADEM. The Russian Industrial Company (a certified authorized distributor of Edgecam) that initiated the event, provided site and initial data in the form of a mathematical model, process design and manufacturing of which were in the core of competition between the two systems. The event aroused significant interest and it was a great success. Both systems demonstrated their capabilities in programming domestic and foreign CNC machine tools. Small desktop milling machines were provided by Roland and “Leninets” Plant” Research and Development Centre. Details of the matrix were produced in full by both systems including rough and finish 3D mode. Three different tools were employed: two cylindrical and one cutter fitting. Instead of metal billets, a special material – model plastic - was used to shorten the processing time and reduce the noise. Visitors were also able to verify the possibilities of ADEM as an integrated CAD / CAM / CAPP system. Along with CNC programming, ADEM was used for creating matrix design drawings, and technological process, comprising: a route chart, a tooling program, a tool setup sheet, a sketches chart, and for calculating the treatment time. The ADEM Group calls to extend the initiative and invites developers and technical specialists in other systems to organize a similar show in any of the following nominations: 3D and flat modeling and design documentation, process design and shop floor documentation, creation and optimization of NC programs, knowledge update (work with paper drawings and control programs).

12 Jul 2010 LEDAS made Constraints Demo Application available for all ODA members The Open Design Alliance (ODA), a non-profit consortium of over 2,000 software developers and users committed to promoting open, industry-standard formats for the exchange of CAD data and CAD legacy data, works with third party component vendors to deliver direct access to a variety of additional features to members. The list of third party components available to ODA members (ACIS from Spatial, HOOPS from TechSoft3D, Adobe-Based PDF) has been extended with the Constraints Support from LEDAS. All ODA members can now integrate the LEDAS LGS 2D geometric constraint solver with a Teigha for .dwg files client application to provide easy access to constraint solving functionality. A sample application demonstrating a number of constraint-related features can be found on the ODA web site. The demo implements the following functions: Load a drawing file containing constraints, and render the drawing. Add constraints to a drawing file. Move geometry on the screen, when the mouse is released all geometry is updated per the constraints contained in the drawing. Edit distance or angle parameters, causing constrained geometry to be updated automatically. More information about the LGS 2D solver can be found at http://www.ledas.com/products/lgs2d. Inquiries about the Teigha-LGS 2D integration module can be sent to info@ledas.com. More: http://ledas.com/group/news/?n... Permanent link :: http://isicad.ru/news.php?news=13893

18 Jan 2010 Ralph Grabowski announced availability of a brochure "The Russian MCAD Market" isicad.net and isicad.ru have earlier in details reflected Ralph Grabowski’s visit to Russia (see for example general overview of the visit and reportage from the Round Table “Future of CAD” held in Moscow). Now Ralph announced availability of a brochure he has written on the basis of his Russian impressions and notes. Special web page which presents the book in particular says the following. The first bi-lingual research paper on the state of the mechanical computer-aided design market in Russia. In The Russian MCAD Market, you will learn insights into the following crucial topics: History of MCAD in Russia during and after Soviet rule. Product offerings by MCAD firms native to Russia and from abroad. Special problems faced by Russian firms doing business with the West. Challenges faced by Western MCAD firms running branch offices in Russia. The content of this whitepaper was collected by upFront.eZine editor Ralph Grabowski during his 10-day tour in late 2009 of Saint Petersburg, Moscow, and Novosibirsk. The tour was organized by David Levin of LEDAS and sponsored by the CAD vendors visited. This research paper is critical to understanding the state of the MCAD software business in Russia today.
