Celebrating its 50th anniversary, Renishaw is set to attend EMO Hannover 2023 to showcase new products that enhance manufacturing performance accuracy and repeatability. One of the highlights is the NC4+ Blue non-contact tool setting system.

Cutting tool expert Walter is extending its range of solid carbide milling cutters for ISO N machining with the addition of two distinct roughing specialists, the MD265 Supreme and the MC268 Advance.

Software company Module Works announces the 2023.04 release of its digital manufacturing software components. This first major release of 2023 offers several new options for controlling the machining parameters across different subtractive and additive processes.

Despite a growing trend towards lightweight construction, steel machining still represents a significant market share. With the MD340 and MD344 Supreme solid carbide milling cutters, Walter is launching two new tools for the machining of ISO P materials.

Metalcam launches the new version of Fikus ST, the CAD/CAM software specially developed for the workshop. The new Fikus ST 23 improves the automation of production processes in the shop floor and thus helps to increase productivity and profitability.

When it comes to solutions for plastic parts, Rodinger Kunststoff-Technik is a first address. From the idea to the construction of the injection moulding tool to the production of the individual part or the assembly, RKT offers complete solutions from one source.

The range of Speedmaster high-performance spindles, manufactured in-house by DMG Mori for its machining centres, has increased with the addition of a model capable of continuous operation at up to 30,000 rpm.

The tool and mould maker Quarder was asked to produce an injection-compression mould for the manufacture of a component in microfluid technology. However, the requirements were extensive, even for experts.

Highly complex contour areas required the smallest cutter diameters with 5-µm accuracy on 384 measuring fields, and extremely long machine runtimes: The Spe-Chip microfluidic sample carrier mould was in a league of its own. The toolmaking department at Erwin Quarder Systemtechnik in Espelkamp in Germany's Eastern Westphalia managed the project — with support from Moldino.
