At the AMB trade fair, German software manufacturer Schott Systeme will demonstrate the performance enhancements of version 3.10 of their Pictures by PC-CAD/CAM software.

At AMB 2022, Open Mind Technologies will not only highlight the strategic partnership with the recently acquired MES provider Hummingbird Systems. The company will also address the role of CAM in networked production processes under the banner of “Create the Future of Manufacturing Together”.

Software provider CG Tech announced the latest release of Vericut, Version 9.3. The software features several improvements and operates independently, but also integrates with all leading CAM systems.

In recent years MS Feinmechanik has not only seen a dramatic increase in the volume of machined parts but also increasingly stricter requirements placed on precision and final product quality. To keep on top of these growing requirements, the company has taken the strategy of continuous investment in industry-leading machinery and tooling solutions.

As the die & mould sector often involves one-offs and small series, standard tools are preferred here. In view of the almost infinite variety of geometry and design, users shy away from stocking a large and accordingly cost-intensive range of tool types. CAM programming is thus tasked with processing pending machining jobs using the stock of tools on hand. Compromises are often made at the expense of machine running times.

Machine engineering company Yamazaki Mazak is set to host a week-long experiential Open House focusing on overcoming the biggest production challenges facing customers.

The UK’s first ever Precision Tooling Academy has been launched thanks to a partnership between In-Comm Training and Brandauer. Over one million pounds have been invested by the two strategic partners to create a commercial toolroom in the training provider’s facility in Aldridge, UK.

Leibniz University Hannover’s Institute of Production Engineering and Machine Tools has researched whether it is possible to save energy when conducting machining work by adjusting coolant lubricant pressure (CL pressure). Open Mind provided financial support for the project and supplied the component geometry and programming for milling and analyses.
