The aerospace industry is of the most technically challenging industries in the world. There are growing pressures to look at new manufacturing methods to reduce production times and increase efficiency. One of the determining factors in the production chain is the choice of the right CAM solution.

Developer of VERICUT CNC simulation, verification and optimisation software, CGTech, has officially launched its ‘physics-based’ CNC program optimisation module, VERICUT Force, in the UK with a series of nationwide seminars.

The fuselage, wing, flaps as well as the horizontal and vertical tail of the latest generation of aircraft are produced out of CFRP aluminium stacks. For the assembly of aircraft, innumerable bores including countersinking are drilled in these components for the rivet connections. In most cases drill feed units are used for machining.

Global designer and manufacturer of advanced Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL) simulators, Ansible Motion, has been closely associated with the motorsports industry throughout its history, but nowadays also serves major road car and speciality vehicle manufacturers.

The whole world is talking about 3D printing, additive manufacturing and generative multi-layer construction technologies. Nevertheless, this is a long way from meaning that the classical machine tool is going to be pensioned off. The EMO Hannover 2017 will be showcasing an international banquet of production technology – with alternative processes as the highly auspicious icing on the cake.

Quality assurance is vital in the production of accurate, patient-specific implants, endoprostheses and surgical guides. Consequently, Baltic Orthoservice in Kaunas, Lithuania uses a multi-sensor coordinate measuring machine (CMM) including a laser scanner in conjunction with a micro-CT (computed tomography) system, all supplied by Nikon Metrology.

Speakers and exhibitors will showcase the latest innovations and discuss solutions to the challenges facing the power industry as Asia Power Week returns to Thailand this year. As an independent repair specialist and pump manufacturer, Sulzer will be highlighting its pumps and systems for power generation as well as the range of services on offer to operators of gas turbines and other rotating equipment.2017 sees the 25th anniversary of the Asia ...

A University of British Columbia computer scientist has created a new software that can create a design sketch of an everyday object, addressing the challenge of accurately describing shapes.The program, called FlowRep, was designed by computer science professor Alla Sheffer, in cooperation with Adobe Research and Washington University in St. Louis.

Computer simulations of electrical charges sent to retinal implants based on fractal geometry have University of Oregon researchers moving forward with their eyes focused on biological testing.That is potential down-the-road good news for people facing vision loss from retinal diseases, such as macular degeneration that, alone, incurs costs exceeding $340 billion globally, according to the Brightfocus Foundation.
