With new materials, CNC quoting options and sourcing controls, Xometry is strengthening its digital manufacturing platform to support engineers and buyers in advanced, secure and globally distributed production.

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.

A new cloud-based control architecture could reshape how CNC machines communicate, process data and respond to production conditions. Developed at the University of Illinois, the C-DNC framework links machine, client and cloud resources in a more integrated manufacturing environment.

Presented at Ency World Conference 2026, the next generation of Ency CAD/CAM and Ency Robot brings CAM automation, advanced CNC machining, smarter robot programming, and a more connected workflow.

Hurco Europe reported strong results from Mach 2026, with orders worth more than £1.5 million taken on the stand and over 200 quotations now being prepared. Automated production cells, 5-axis machining solutions and driven-tool turning centres drew particular interest, underlining demand for smarter, more accessible CNC automation.

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.

Existing roll grinders are becoming the focus of a deeper collaboration between Pomini Tenova and Siemens. The partners are combining process expertise, CNC technology, automation and digital tools to modernise machines for higher productivity, predictive maintenance and increasingly autonomous operation.

Automation for CNC-class applications requires more than standard robotics. CNC Solutions has developed a Technology Package that seamlessly integrates CAM, motion control and robot execution. By combining offline programming, CNC-style control and high-precision robotics, the system delivers predictable multi-axis performance and significantly reduces commissioning time.

With its new medial ball algorithm, Polygonica aims to speed up CNC quoting and manufacturability checks by making curvature and tool accessibility analysis faster for intricate part geometries.

Software company Vericut announced its participation at Mach 2026, where it will demonstrate the latest advancements in CNC simulation, verification, and optimisation.
