Germany — Developer of advanced numerical optimisation software solutions, Rafinex, and CAD/CAM developer Module Works, have integrated toolpath calculation technology with a software algorithm suite. In effective synchronisation, topology optimisation and toolpath planning are to enable more effective design-to-manufacture processes.

Germany — A collaboration between CAM software component provider Module Works, machining solutions and tool manufacturer Sandvik Coromant, and HCL Technologies, manufacturer of CAM Works, has produced one of the first commercial implementations of the new Prime Turning methodology in a CAM system.

Global manufacturing leaders move beyond prototyping to fully embrace 3D printing for series production. Printers are getting faster, can produce bigger parts and create reproducible qualities. What are the latest developments?

Germany — Supplier of CAD/CAM software components, Module Works, and Robotized, supplier of CNC and robotic manufacturing solutions, have extended their partnership to offer customized, automated solutions that accelerate robot-assisted additive manufacturing, including CMT (Cold Metal Transfer).

South Korea — In order to enhance their smart factory concept, Hyundai WIA is using Module Works CNC software technology.

Germany — Supplier of CAM software components Module Works announces its participation in the EU-funded InterQ project. Coordinated by the Ideko research centre in Spain, the InterQ project unites 25 partners from eleven European countries to develop an integrated data management platform for zero-defect manufacturing.

South Korea — Software component provider Module Works announced that Doosan Machine Tools has integrated their cutting simulation technology into their Sketch Turn product. The software replaces Doosan’s previous cutting simulation engine and is part of the group’s strategy to optimize the availability and effectiveness of machining information on the shop floor.

Moduleworks and Topsolid have signed a partnership agreement that enables Topsolid to use Moduleworks 5-axis machining components.

Die Bearbeitung erfolgt in Echtzeit, der Materialabtrag ist sichtbar, die Maschine erscheint real: Der Visual Twin visualisiert detailliert eine komplette Werkzeugmaschine. Diese Anwendung lässt sich von der Ausbildung bis zum Vertrieb sinnvoll einsetzen.

A single continuous production step is only one of the capabilities of the 5-axis machine. Moduleworks also aims to prevent printing errors and more.
