From May 20 to 23, Wittmann Battenfeld Polska will present its latest injection moulding technology at the Plastpol in Kielce, Poland, at booth No. 6-08 in hall 6. The main highlight of the exhibition program will be a Smart Power Combimould machine equipped with a servo-electric injection aggregate.

At Control 2025, LK Metrology introduced its new Altera SF series — eight robust CMM models combining lab-grade accuracy with industrial durability. Designed for harsh shop floor environments, the machines offer large measuring volumes, advanced thermal compensation and smart automation features for high-precision inspection close to production.

At Plastpol, Arburg will showcase cutting-edge injection moulding and 3D printing solutions designed for efficiency, precision and sustainability. Experience live demonstrations of the electric Allrounder 570 A and hybrid Allrounder 470 H, along with the TiQ 2 3D printer for flexible additive manufacturing.

BMW is expanding its use of 3D printing in production, deploying lightweight, custom robot grippers and sand casting moulds to boost efficiency, cut emissions, and enable more flexible, automated manufacturing across its global plants.

EWS Weigele introduces the Varia.VXT quick-change system, enabling fast and precise static tool swaps in fixed-head turning centres. Designed for repeatability and rigidity, it enhances machining flexibility and surface finish while minimising vibration.

At Metalshow & TIB 2025, Simtek will showcase advanced cutting tool solutions including 3D-lasered chip geometries, the Simmill 9W milling system, and length-adjustable holders — highlighting innovations for precision machining and small-diameter applications.

Integrating coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) directly into the production environment can significantly boost efficiency, reduce lead times and improve quality control. At Control 2025, LK Metrology will unveil its new Altera SF series — eight robust, high-accuracy CMMs designed specifically for reliable shop floor use.

Innovation is the key to success in global manufacturing. Companies that continuously develop high-tech solutions gain a crucial edge — making it harder for competitors to replicate their advancements. At EMO Hannover 2025, top manufacturers, industrial suppliers, and research institutes will showcase the latest innovations driving the future of production.

The Dutch mouldmaker and injection moulder Promatrix is specialised in aluminium moulds for prototyping and small to medium serial production of plastic parts. Hasco’s Streamrunner enabled the company to produce 0.15 g earplugs in a compact 4-cavity mould.

At Fakuma 2023, Arburg will be exhibiting nine machines on Stand 3101 in Hall A3, as well as ten other machines on partner stands. One highlight will be the premiere of the Allrounder 520 H.
