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.

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.

Software company Lantek has introduced over 80 new improvements and advances in its latest version, Lantek Global Release 2022. The new update incorporates improvements in flexibility, adaptability to the different circumstances of all types of companies, usability as well as efficiency and automation.

Bloom in Box is a family-run toolmaker serving the needs of different industries. All product lines are produced from recycled materials and are manufactured in-house at the Lancashire, UK, facility with support from Tamworth cutting tool manufacturer Industrial Tooling Corporation.

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?

As an industry-leading design, development, test and production facility for additively manufactured (AM) products, Alloyed Ltd recently encountered challenges with its supporting EDM machining processes. As a company at the cutting-edge of technology, the Stone based business turned to the Engineering Technology Group (ETG) and it's Mitsubishi EDM solution.

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.
