Global automotive manufacturer Peugeot has integrated Stratasys’ 3D Fashion technology into the interior of its new Inception concept, achieving a level of resolution that would not have been possible with traditional embellishment methods.

Making new technology possible and creating real added value — that is the goal of the Lehvoss Group. Concrete product ideas are just as much a focus as sustainability and tangible profitability. At the Fakuma, the Hamburg-based company will present numerous application examples that go beyond the limits of what was previously feasible.

Software company Mastercam has collaborated with Sandvik Coromant to announce the integration of Sandvik Coromant Coro Plus Tool Library Add-in into the new release of Mastercam 2024. The result is a time-saving solution for designers.

PLM, a tool and mould maker based in Neuhausen, has established itself as a leader in the machining of special metals. The company relies on the high precision and economical Sodick machines, such as the ALC400G Premium wire-cut EDM machine, to manage materials like tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, and titanium.

At the EMO 2023, the German software manufacturer Schott Systeme will demonstrate the significant performance enhancements of version 3.10 of its Pictures by PC-CAD/CAM software, with special focus on mould and model making.

Taking a cue from the structural complexity of trees and bones, Washington State University engineers have created a way to 3D-print two types of steel in the same circular layer using two welding machines. The resulting bimetallic material proved 33 to 42 percent stronger than either metal alone, thanks in part to pressure caused between the metals as they cool together.

The CAD/CAM software supplier Cimatron has released version 2024 with stronger core capabilities across all areas of the product, while incorporating new technology through collaboration with Sandvik Coromant. Cimatron 2024 simplifies and automates many tasks for tool designers for higher productivity and more options for digital connection.

From September 18 to 23, 2023, Schunk will be taking its close-packed 360-degree portfolio with topics all about machine tools to EMO Hanover. Its focus will be on more sustainable production, connectivity, and e-mobility.

Installation of a Roeders 5-axis machining centre at Circle in Weilmünster, Germany, has transformed the engineering service provider's ability to deliver machined prototypes and small batches of components in short lead times.

The 3D printing industry is continuing to develop very dynamically. This is due to competition between different 3D processes and technical advances in machine and process engineering. In general, this confirms that the industrial maturity of 3D printing in relation to conventional manufacturing strategies (casting or milling) continues to increase.
