Meusburger collaborated with Bihler to develop stamping and forming die sets for Bihler NC presses. Customers of both companies will benefit from this co-operation.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT and the WBA Aachener Werkzeugbau Akademie GmbH have investigated the consistency and efficiency of Cax process chains in a joint study.

UK – Engineering Technology Group (ETG), a leading independent machine tools and allied equipment supplier, has strengthened its commitment to offering a ‘total customer solution’ by announcing a new distribution agreement.

3D printing starts in your head: Designers need to rethink their approach to unlock the huge opportunities offered by this relatively new manufacturing technology. The experts in coolant systems at Grindaix and Bionic Production did exactly that.

A mould-maker producing tools for thermoplastic materials and die-castings relies on the VISI Analysis module to discover critical areas at an early stage of the design process.

Hydropneu offers a CAD data pool with over 700 cylinder varieties that constructors and user companies can download on its homepage.

Keeping an even temperature on the surface of the mould is a challenge. In their quest to maintain even temperatures, manufacturers have tried many things. 3D printing may offer a solution.

There are high demands for optimisation in cutting manufacturing. Productivity needs to increase and the quality needs to improve or at least stay at the same level with reduced costs. But where in the process chain is the best place to start?

Meusburger says one saves time and money in the production process from design to manufacturing with the use of tunnel gate inserts. The Austria-based leading company in standard components has recently expanded its range tunnel gate inserts with two new versions, especially for large contour steps.

Uk - Visi software supports this toolmaker with detailed tailored functions and automated algorithms for the design process. On the shopfloor, automatic feature recognition algorithms detect regular geometries and automatically generates the necessary NC data, maintaining company standards.
