SIMTOS 2026 (Seoul International Manufacturing Technology Show) is Korea's largest trade fair for manufacturing technology, taking place from 13 to 17 April in Halls 1 and 2 of KINTEX in Goyang.

Machine engineering company Yamazaki Mazak is set to showcase the latest breakthroughs in machine tool technology at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics (3-5 February 2026) as part of a stand dedicated to empowering subcontractors to transform their machining capabilities.

With the launch of Fortis mill grinding wheels, Weiler Abrasives is targeting higher efficiency in hot and cold rolling mills. The new wheels combine advanced ceramic grain technology with extended service life to reduce changeovers, stabilise grinding processes and lower operating costs in steel and aluminium production.

From hybrid machine tools to AI-driven robotics and automated post-processing, additive manufacturing is entering a new phase of industrial maturity. A look at current technologies shows how AM is becoming a reliable, scalable element of modern production.

The latest version of Hwacheon’s Harmony controller features built-in Machine Works simulation libraries, providing expanded functionality for machining verification and process optimisation.

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.

At K 2025, Arburg will celebrate the world premiere of its new Allrounder 475 V – a compact vertical machine with 1,000 kN clamping force, high energy efficiency and flexible automation options. Designed for sectors from e-mobility to medical technology, it demonstrates how sustainable, high-quality parts can be produced efficiently in turnkey systems.

Manufacturers seeking greater flexibility and durability in milling now have a solution: Seco’s revamped Round 20 series offers optimized insert usage and rugged reliability.

With a new R0.2 corner radius square head, Tungaloy Corporation extends its Tungmeister range to meet growing demand for very small corner radii. The solution combines solid end mill–level precision with the flexibility, efficiency and reduced setup times of an exchangeable-head system for precision parts and mould machining.

Biochar could become a key lever for greener additive manufacturing: A new review shows how small amounts of carbon-rich biomass filler can partially replace petroleum-based polymers while enhancing mechanical, thermal, and even functional properties in 3D-printed parts.
