Accelerating CAM workflows, Module Works is introducing its new GPU Simulation through upcoming releases of Sandvik’s Cimatron and Mastercam. The technology promises up to tenfold faster verification for complex multi-axis parts, significantly shortening programming cycles.

AI and smart assistance systems support workers on the shop floor — boosting efficiency while keeping people at the centre of production.

At EMO Hannover 2025, the spotlight is on smart, sustainable, and scalable production solutions. From automation and AI to circular economy strategies, the world’s leading trade fair for metalworking brings together pioneering technologies and expert insight

With the takeover of the GF Machining Solutions Division of George Fischer AG by the United Grinding Group, one of the largest machine tool manufacturers in the world has emerged. The company was renamed United Machining Solutions and retains its headquarters in Bern, Switzerland.

Germany’s machine tool industry is still waiting for recovery. While export orders show modest growth, domestic demand continues to shrink, weighed down by US tariffs and investor caution. A turnaround is not expected before 2026.

With the new MSC 5 Duo, Emag presents a compact, two-spindle CNC turning center tailored for automated, cost-efficient batch production. Debuting at EMO 2025, the machine combines proven technologies, integrated automation, and precise machining — all at a reduced capital investment.

Artificial intelligence is redefining industrial manufacturing, turning machine tools into self-learning, adaptive partners that optimise processes, reduce waste and ease the impact of skills shortages. From predictive maintenance to intuitive operator guidance, AI is emerging as a key driver of efficiency, flexibility and competitiveness in modern production.

Machining long-chipping materials (such as stainless steels) is known to be a challenge when it comes to avoiding and removing chips. Now there is a solution!

Anca honours innovation and talent in precision tooling once again in 2025 with its international ‘Tool of the Year’ and ‘Female Machinist of the Year’ awards, celebrating craftsmanship, creativity, and the growing role of women in the industry.

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.
