Optimising the transition from concept to full-scale model and beyond. How do modern businesses test their ideas out effectively? Here's how fast prototyping techniques power innovation.

With the use of network communication, new digital technologies combine physical manufacturing systems with virtual worlds of knowledge and 3D modelling.

Oen Mind Technologies was very pleased with the level of interest of the company's mould and tool making solutions received at the recently held Moulding Expo. Visitors at the trade fair who hadn’t yet heard about the optimisation options available with 5-axis tangent plane machining were able to learn more about this solution at its booth, where a large model of a conical barrel cutter was on exhibit.

The UK’s national manufacturing and engineering show, Mach 2020, takes place 20-24 April. The anticipation as rising as the event aims to one of the industry's highlights of this year.

Inovatool's Incocam portal allows its users access to a large selection of 3D models. The platform also features an interface with the Tools United database.

This new partnership creates large independent global producer of cemented carbide tool blanks.

The latest release contains new performance-optimising cycles for 5- and 3-axis machining as well as enhanced visual accuracy and sharper imaging for simulations.

Germany - As a manufacturer of components for aircraft engines, Aerotech Peissenberg (ATP) needs to fulfil the highest requirements regarding quality, reliability and price/performance ratio. Qualified employees and modern technology are essential for making this possible. The aviation company has managed to reduce processing times for various components by around 30%.

It is said to be a way to capitalise on the benefits of multi-tasking, single set-up machining using world-leading machining technologies for the production of complex small to medium-sized parts.

Expansion of the turret adapted clamping units (Tacu): ER-ready driven units in conjunction with a line of solid ER collets, threaded to accept screw-on milling cutters.
