With Gürsel Demircali joining as Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer, Module Works is reinforcing its partner strategy and growth ambitions in digital manufacturing.

The latest release of Vericut combines faster simulation, expanded AI assistance, smarter workflows and machine-level accuracy, while Icam Post V27 brings AI-powered guidance, regression testing, and streamlined post-development tools.

CNC machining enables Speedpart to manufacture complex components from production-grade metals and engineering plastics with high dimensional accuracy. The process complements additive manufacturing where tight tolerances, fits and functional surfaces are required.

India’s tooling industry is moving further into the spotlight. DMI 2026 in Mumbai showed how advanced machining, automation and international collaboration are shaping the sector’s role in the country’s manufacturing ambitions.

Robots open up new possibilities for machining large and complex parts, but they also introduce new process uncertainties. DAMRC uses Ency to combine toolpath planning, kinematics and robot dynamics analysis, helping create a more systematic foundation for stable and predictable robotic machining.

The Lambda GT machining center by Fanum is equipped with Siemens’ fully digital Sinumerik One numerical control system. According to the company, it delivers excellent performance wherever a high level of stability and machining precision is required under all CNC machine load conditions.

With the Unicam crosshead, Guill introduces a new level of flexibility and efficiency in extrusion tooling, combining dual concentricity adjustment options with a fast, wrench-operated Cam-Lock system to simplify set-ups, speed up color changes and minimize downtime.

High automation, deep process integration and in-house fixture expertise enable BKV Braun to manufacture complex precision parts with remarkable efficiency. The subcontractor shows how streamlined workflows and scalable EDM automation can create clear advantages in demanding applications such as medical technology.

Researchers at IFW Hannover and Open Mind have advanced demand-based coolant supply by linking coolant flow directly to material removal rates calculated in CAM planning, enabling energy-efficient machining validated in real-world trials.

As 3D CAD models with PMI become central to manufacturing, metrology teams need faster and more consistent ways to turn digital product data into measurement programs. Mitutoyo CTL’s Micat Planner addresses this challenge by automating CNC measurement programming, standardising strategies and reducing manual effort.
