The creator of VERICUT, CGTech and MachiningCloud have together announced a VERICUT enhancement in MachiningCloud whereby VERICUT customers can import cutting parameters from cutting tool manufacturers from within MachiningCloud directly into VERICUT.

The national railway company of France, SNCF, has granted final homologation for the use of NSK wheelset bearings for TGV very high-speed trains.This confirmation is the culmination of a five-year project that has seen NSK engineers liaise closely with SNCF to ensure that exact requirements could be met. Although NSK already received similar approvals in Japan, China and Korea, it is the first time that the company has received a homologation for...

Equipment for component cleaning specifically targeted at the medical sector will be promoted by supplier ofaqueous industrial washing machines and lines, Turbex.The company's technical centre in Alton, Hampshire, provides expert advice on processes, component handling and detergents in addition to displaying and demonstrating a wide cross section of products in a well equipped showroom.

Energy efficiency is increased and operational noise is reduced through the use of low-friction ball bearings in drive systems.Bearings of this type will also reduce heat generation, which in turn helps to extend service life. Based on concepts such as optimised raceway geometry and special sealing concepts, NSK has developed several series of ball bearings that offer significantly lower friction characteristics.

Optimised milling and slotting operations are now offered in the new CoroMillPlura routers unveiled by Sandvik Coromant, and are offered in composite materials such as CFRP (carbon fibre reinforced plastic) and GFRP (glass fibre reinforced plastic).Production engineers, machine shop managers and operators will all benefit from the patented geometries provided by the new routers, particularly those in the aerospace industry, where these materials ...

Hole drilling plays a critical role in automotive manufacturing. Hundreds of holes must be drilled for each vehicle that’s manufactured, including those in transmission shafts, engine blocks, air bag propellant chambers, camshafts, and other internal engine parts. By Paul Best and Todd Cox, Product Specialists at Allied Machine & Engineering.

The Concorde Hall of Le Bourget regularly becomes 'boarding zone' for innovations during the Paris Air Show. This year, the impressive showroom and the exquisite ESA pavilion were the presentation spaces for the aircraft windows funnel manufactured with Fiber Patch Placement technology. As a partner of the Starburst Accelerator and the ESA Business Incubation Programme, the Munich Startup Cevotec was invited to present the extraordinary prototype...

Important innovations have been developed in Lantek’s software solutions to improve performance and adapt even better to the needs of its customers in the fabrication sector.These improvements are part of the continuous innovation policy that the multinational applies to its products and which bring the reality of digital processing ever closer for manufacturers.

TheAltair Partner Alliance(APA) has announced the addition of Additive Works’ Amphyon to its software offering. Amphyon is a simulation-driven, process software for powder bed-based, laser beam melting additive manufacturing processes.

In a 1999 paper, Erik Demaine — now an MIT professor of electrical engineering and computer science, but then an 18-year-old PhD student at the University of Waterloo, in Canada — described an algorithm that could determine how to fold a piece of paper into any conceivable 3Dshape.It was a milestone paper in the field of computational origami, but the algorithm didn’t yield very practical folding patterns.
