Resource-conserving production, reduced emissions and a circular economy protect the environment and climate. Companies that act sustainably not only secure their competitiveness, but also take responsibility for future generations. Sustainability is also one of the focal topics at EMO Hannover 2025.

Scheduled from May 6-9, 2025, at Fieramilano Rho, Lamiera reaffirms its role as a central exhibition for sheet metal forming, cutting, and processing technologies in Italy. With over 200 exhibitors already registered — 20percent more than the same period in 2023—the event highlights its growing significance.

The CK modular tool system from Big Daishowa set a new standard in precision machining by integrating advanced turning tools into simple, adaptable holders. Designed for milling, rough boring, and fine boring, this patented system delivers micrometer-level accuracy, extended tool life, and cost-effective operation.

Italy's machine tool industry sees a considerable rise in orders for Q3 2024, marking a break from a six-quarter slump. But Ucimu President Riccardo Rosa warns of structural challenges still gripping the sector.

Positioning systems for mechanical applications, automation and additive manufacturing are diverse, reflecting their varied uses. Aerotech, with over 50 years of expertise, addresses the various needs for precise motion control with its Automation 1 platform.

Deep hole drilling is a specialized area within metal cutting, involving unique challenges such as maintaining optimal coolant flow, efficient swarf removal, and achieving minimal hole deviation. Machine tool manufacturer WFL meets these demands with precision-engineered solutions, including cutting tools made from solid carbide or indexable inserts, along with intelligent process monitoring systems.

Software company Open Mind launched the 2025 release of its Hypermill CAD/CAM suite. The highlight of the new version is the easy-to-use, automatic deburring function. The 2025 release includes a new tessellation algorithm and a simplified element display for CAD models, which help further accelerate the CAD part of the software.

Schunk, a leader in gripping and clamping technology, leverages advanced CAM programming and Vericut simulation software to enhance process reliability and efficiency in manufacturing. By simulating machining tasks with precision, the company minimizes downtime, ensures high-quality production, and supports a diverse range of industries, from medical to aerospace.

The 34th edition of BI-MU, the premier international exhibition for machine tools, robotics, automation, and advanced manufacturing, wrapped up on 12 October at fieramilano Rho. Despite global economic challenges, BI-MU saw an 8.5 percent increase in participation compared to 2022.

From September 22 to 26, 2025, EMO Hannover will once again host the Startup Area, bringing together young companies and established industry players. Supported by VDW, VDMA Startup-Machine Services, and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, the event highlights cutting-edge solutions in Industry 4.0, AI, 3D printing, and automation.
