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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

With the takeover of the GF Machining Solutions Division of George Fischer AG by the United Grinding Group, one of the largest machine tool manufacturers in the world has emerged. The company was renamed United Machining Solutions and retains its headquarters in Bern, Switzerland.

Magnetfabrik Bonn, one of the leading magnet producers in Germany, always opt for safety first when it comes to quality. For more than two decades, they have been using Hasco filters. They have now tested the new model H5055/... in practice, with a positive result and the expectation of extra added value for the customer.

High-precision grinding processes are essential in modern cutting tool manufacturing. The quality of the metalworking fluids (MWF) plays a decisive role here. With its ultra-fine filtration systems, Vomat from Treuen/Germany offers solutions that not only improve tool quality, but also reduce production costs and promote sustainability.
