Simulation systems of CNC functionalities by means of control models are widely used. When they reach their limits, simulations based on the real CNC core can provide help. But how are the required application data implemented in the simulation scenario?

The limits of computer-aided simulations are far from exhausted. At the Altair Technology Conference, the simulation specialist presented a variety of interesting applications with a focus on the automotive industry.

At IMTS, Machine Works will be displaying the latest releases of the Machine Works SDK for CNC Simulation and Polygonica mesh modelling SDK for additive manufacturing.

Standardisation along the entire value chain plays a key role in the success of a company. In die making it also offers great economic benefits — but how?

At this year’s K trade fair in Düsseldorf from 19 to 26 October, Meusburger will focus on its standardised mould bases. The standard parts manufacturer will also present its range for injection moulders and both the standardised and the customised solutions for hot runner systems.

For five days, a total of 64,298 visitors frequented the fully booked Stuttgart fair grounds during AMB. The 1,238 exhibitors from around the world — with around 25 percent hailing from outside Germany — presented a variety of innovations, products, services and concepts.

Attendees at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2022 will experience the recently launched Mastercam 2023.

With the Adaptix Vice Jaws, Leader Chuck offers a new method of transforming the way any machinist holds and grips parts for milling. With sliding fingers, it can be adapted to any part geometry to provide the necessary clamping forces.

Products have become extremely complex. It is therefore difficult to predict the impact of a decision on the overall design. The knowledge gained from simulations can be used to evaluate different options, construct with more confidence and ultimately develop better products. A few rules have to be observed to ensure the successful use of simulation.

The joint project Eitec was tasked with developing a concept for the large component assembly at Airbus that could increase the degree of automation and reduce lead time. Different digital twins were used for this purpose.
