I hear that the Rockwell Automation investment in PTC has not brought all the desired benefits—although they did short-cut some software development with ThingWorx. The real pay-off came with the acquisitions of Plex and FiiX for cloud development. Further to the cloud story, this release details extension of cloud to its design software (think control system design, not CAD).

Each year, between 1.2 and 2.4 million tonnes of plastic enters the oceans from rivers which can have a disruptive effect on marine ecosystems. This has led to intensive research for alternatives that decompose faster in nature. Bio-based polymers based on cane sugar are one such option. The most common bioplastic is poly-L-lactide, which is used in 3D printers, textiles, food packaging, disposable cutlery and other applications.

Machining frequently involves invention. Independent machine shops are not mere producers; the work is not that simple. Job shops involved in prototyping often help customers refine and complete their ideas, and job shops also routinely invent the clamping and gaging devices that aid their own work. For the tool shop, the link between machining and invention is magnified — every custom tool is arguably an invention.
