In the run-up to Christmas, Open Mind is showing how an exact replica of the world-famous nutcracker from the Ore Mountains is milled from aluminium. The example demonstrates an end-to-end digital process chain and efficient 5-axis machining with Hypermill.

Software company Open Mind will be presenting the benefits of the Hypermill CAD/CAM system for users of additive manufacturing processes at Formnext exhibition from November 7th to 10th, 2023.

Software company CG Tech is set to showcase Vericut 9.4 at stand N112 during the Advanced Engineering exhibition, which takes place on November 1-2 at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, UK.

Precision Engineering Services has upgraded to the latest Mitsubishi MV1200S EDM machine and is experiencing a surge in efficiency, reduced set-up times and significant productivity improvements. As well as offering precision and speed, the new machine incorporates innovative features that are redefining toolmaking in the construction and DIY sectors.

The first compact gantry milling machine from Fooke's new Endura 400 Linear series has been producing high-precision casting moulds in Pentas Moulding's own mould shop since the beginning of 2023. The purchase of this machine is a first for both companies.

Software company CG Tech, developer of the CNC machine simulation software Vericut, is launching the new Version 9.4 just in time for EMO 2023 in Hanover (Hall 9/Stand B24). Under the motto “Get connected”, CG Tech offers new features and functions with the current version, which offer immediate added value in the day-to-day business of metal-cutting production.

Smaller enterprises with machining operations are keen to understand how they can stay competitive in the era of digitalisation, Industry 4.0, and IoT. The digital process already implemented in these companies, based on NC (Numerical Control) code generated from CAD (Computer-Aided Design) data, could serve as a starting point.

Small lot sizes — short delivery times. There’s no better way to describe the greatest challenge the global manufacturing industry is facing. How do you address it? Perfection in production, as one example, is the foundation for sustainable competitiveness. But what role does simulation play in these efforts?

The CAD/CAM software supplier Cimatron has released version 2024 with stronger core capabilities across all areas of the product, while incorporating new technology through collaboration with Sandvik Coromant. Cimatron 2024 simplifies and automates many tasks for tool designers for higher productivity and more options for digital connection.

Software company Open Mind will focus on turning, milling, and the importance of CAM software and MES in connected manufacturing environments at EMO 2023.
