At its upcoming Open House in Pfronten, DMG Mori will showcase more than 40 machines and over 20 automation solutions, highlighting 5-axis machining, scalable automation and integrated production concepts designed to deliver high precision, productivity and flexibility across a wide range of manufacturing applications.

Laser machining opens new design freedoms for chip control and process stability. Simtek’s Norbert Seifermann explains where it makes sense, where it doesn’t, and how customers benefit from smarter geometries.

Horn used Mach 2026 to spotlight a broad wave of tooling developments aimed at more reliable chip control, greater rigidity and lower cost per edge. From sintered chip-breaker geometries in miniature inserts to new grooving and parting-off systems for deeper cuts, the latest additions show how tool design is being refined for process stability, surface quality and economic machining.

From hybrid machine tools to AI-driven robotics and automated post-processing, additive manufacturing is entering a new phase of industrial maturity. A look at current technologies shows how AM is becoming a reliable, scalable element of modern production.

A tough investment climate has not stopped Hurco Europe from increasing sales and expanding market share. Automation uptake, strong interest in used machines and favourable economic conditions are setting the stage for a strong 2026 — including major product premieres at Mach.

Modern ultrafine filtration systems can significantly improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of tool grinding processes. Vomat’s intelligent filter solutions reduce operating costs, extend system availability, and enable a fast return on investment.

Horn is set to bring a strong cutting tool line-up to Mach 2026, with a showcase of more than 20 new and recently launched products on its stand. An overview...

Vomat’s modular central filter systems (ZFA) offer ultra-fine cooling lubricant microfiltration for applications ranging from compact setups to large-scale industrial projects. A recent XXL installation in Southern Europe illustrates how the scalable concept combines high filtration quality, energy efficiency, and adaptability to changing production requirements.

At Formnext 2025, DMG Mori highlights its strategy for industrialising metal additive manufacturing. The focus: hybrid DED systems, modular SLM machines with reduced downtime, and digital tools for seamless process integration.

In many areas of application, it is uneconomical to use oversized universal cylindrical grinding machines for the external machining of smaller components — a lot of floor space is lost and the functionality is not fully utilized. With the new WPG 7 CNC external grinding machine, Emag Weiss demonstrates another way of grinding workpieces with a maximum length of 250 millimeters.
