Mecof is setting new benchmarks in large-scale machining with the Powermill HPC3 gantry milling machine. The portal machine combines extreme rigidity, long-axis travel and flexible, automatically interchangeable milling heads with advanced digital control.

Shallow cuts and smaller machines no longer have to limit milling performance. With the Double Turbo 11, Seco introduces a square shoulder insert designed to deliver reliable cutting, long tool life and high surface quality at lower depths of cut, helping manufacturers boost efficiency while keeping tooling costs under control.

The ability to accept orders flexibly is what makes Millcraft 3D competitive. To achieve this, the model and mould maker relies on F. Zimmermann. The latest addition to its machine park is an FZU32 gantry milling machine, whose precision goes far beyond the market standard.

A new biological machining material aimed at small-batch production and prototyping made its debut at PCD Paris. Krill Design is previewing an 80 percent bio-based bar for turning and milling that combines dimensional stability, mechanical performance and improved sustainability, opening new possibilities for designers and manufacturers seeking circular material solutions.

With the new 335.18 disc milling cutter, Seco Tools is expanding its slotting portfolio, offering manufacturers a robust and highly configurable solution designed for stable performance, long tool life and cost-efficient machining across a wide range of industrial applications.

With the expanded DA65 milling system, Horn targets both roughing and finishing applications. Larger, six-edged indexable inserts enable greater depths of cut, stable machining on less powerful machines and an economical cost-per-edge ratio across a wide range of materials.

With the investment in two new portal milling machines from Zimmermann, industrial packaging specialist Schütz has modernised its in-house toolmaking for IBC production, achieving higher precision, greater flexibility in cooling channel design and significantly shorter machining and rework times for large blow moulding tools.

Pibomulti expands its portfolio with the next-generation CEP-NG tool-holding heads, enabling precise milling and drilling at right angles while combining higher speeds, lower vibration and reduced weight to boost productivity, surface quality and machine-friendly performance across demanding multi-axis machining applications.

At EMO 2025, Spinner expanded its TTS turn-milling range with the new TTS 85 and TTS 125 models, combining higher bar capacities, powerful dual spindles, and flexible multi-turret configurations for enhanced precision and productivity.

At EMO 2025, Open Mind Technologies drew strong interest with live turn-milling demos and automation solutions powered by Hypermill. Highlights included the Hypermill Automation Center, Virtual Machining, and Hummingbird-MES — showcasing the company’s focus on connected and efficient manufacturing.
