Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG is working on a new CAD/CAM tool kit based on semantic modelling software techniques. It is being developed at Siemens Nixdorf’s Cambridge Application Software Centre in the UK and will incorporate two and three-dimensional and other geometric designs in a single package. The tool kit enables users to analyse and assess components and manufacturing processes during the design stage, the company says. The CAD/CAM tool kit runs on Siemens Nixdorf’s re-badged Groupe Bull SA RW series of Unix workstations and Silicon Graphics Inc’s Iris and Crimson workstations. The tool kit is scheduled for release the second half of 1993.
