Autodesk Fusion users now have access to Module Works’ physics-based Smart Roughing technology. The add-in is designed to reduce manual toolpath optimisation and help CAM programmers achieve shorter cycle times in 3-axis roughing.

As manufacturing markets in Europe and North America demand greater flexibility, productivity and process integration, Modig, Ibarmia and Licon are strengthening their joint presence on the international stage. At IMTS 2026 in Chicago and AMB 2026 in Stuttgart, the Group will present its combined machining expertise, from flexible production concepts to high-volume manufacturing systems.

Grinding Hub 2026 comes at a time of high cost pressure, volatile markets and growing demand for efficient manufacturing solutions. From May 5 to 8, around 460 exhibitors from 28 countries will present technologies, practical applications and new ideas for the grinding process in Stuttgart.

Lead-free aluminium is moving into high-precision applications where chip control, surface quality and process stability are critical. In a joint machining demonstration with Tornos France, Eural Gnutti’s alloy 2033 showed how the material can support demanding turning operations while opening new options for sectors such as luxury goods and watchmaking.

Timtos 2025 brought together industry leaders, cutting-edge technology, and groundbreaking innovations in AI, robotics, and smart manufacturing. From advanced automation to digital twin integration, the event highlighted Taiwan’s growing influence in precision engineering and global supply chains.

Méca-Précis implements a robotic measurement cell to streamline its inspection processes. This solution combines a coordinate measuring machine from Mitutoyo with robotics solutions from Engineering Data, effectively removing bottlenecks in the parts inspection process.

Grindinghub 2026 in Stuttgart showed the direction of future grinding technology: connected, automated, and data-driven. Instead of individual machines, the focus shifted to integrated process chains — supplemented by data-driven quality assurance and solutions for the more efficient use of tools, coolants, and peripheral equipment.

35.Bi-Mu is gearing up for its return to Fieramilano Rho on 13–16 October, with exhibitor registrations rising and a refreshed Tuesday-to-Friday schedule tailored to B2B visitors.

The online exhibitor directory for AMB 2026 is now available and offers advanced filters by applications, technologies and industry themes. Together with the themed grounds plan and updated AMB app, the tool is designed to help visitors plan their trade fair visit more efficiently across all ten halls of Messe Stuttgart.

Grindinghub 2026 has underlined its role as a key international meeting place for grinding technology. With around 11,000 visitors, 462 exhibitors and strong interest in investment, the Stuttgart trade fair highlighted practical solutions, digital applications and the next step for the format: Grindinghub Americas 2027.
