Automatix Inc has bought the Mechanical Advantage and X-pression products and licensed the Cost and Manufacturability Guide of Cognition Inc: the Billerica, Massachusetts robotics company plans to integrate the products with its own AX4000 two- and three-dimensional drafting and design software, unbundle the software and sell it at a reasonable price, supporting it on low cost workstations such as the new Sun Sparcstation 1, and support the X.11 version of the X Window System – but Automatix needs to raise $2m to $3m in new equity.
