Simulation Software Optimizes Press Productivity
Tooling Tech Group can analyze incoming part files, fix clash and clearance violations, identify tool design changes, and make adjustments to achieve the highest strokes per minute (SPM) without going through trial and error on the stamping floor. This applies to servo, mechanical and hydraulic presses regardless of manufacturer.
Reverse Engineering Software Provides Digital Twin That’s Ready for Manufacturing
Designed from the ground up from metrology scan to manufacturable model, REcreate software from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence aims to uncomplicate the reverse engineering digital workflow by reconciling incompatible data types and technologies.
Design Is Destiny If You Want To Optimize Beveling
Even the most sophisticated nesting software won’t eliminate the need to manually finish an edge if the job’s not thought through from start to finish. Follow these three best practices to minimize wasted time and material.
Manufacturing Software Supports Additive Manufacturing
DP Technology’s Esprit CAM software program supports 3-, 4-, and 5-axis directed energy deposition (DED), a form of 3D printing that uses a focused energy source such as a laser or electron beam to melt material.
Part Deburring, Cleaning, and Drying On A 15-Second Cycle
Combining high-pressure water jet deburring with low-pressure part cleaning and drying processes, the EcoCvelox from Ecoclean Inc. is a one-stop finishing solution. Highly configurable equipment enables highly flexible process design.
Totally Tubular: Take Profile Design to the Next Level
One of the fastest-growing sectors of North American metal manufacturing is laser processing of tubes and profiles. Design software and machines that automatically perform multiple manufacturing steps are making this complicated fabrication process cost-effective for smaller companies.
Integrated CAD/CAM Design and Manufacturing Execution Solution
By enabling its Radan CAD/CAM design software to connect seamlessly with the 2021 release of Workplan MES software, Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence is enabling sheet metal fabricators to establish a complete digital thread from start to finish.
Artificial Intelligence-Powered CAD Sketching Technology
Siemens’ NX Sketch software offers unconstrained concept design sketching within the 3D environment to help increase productivity. Remarkably, NX can recognize tangents and other design relationships to adjust on the fly.
You Can’t Create a Comprehensive Digital Thread If You Let This Common Obstacle Get in the Way
Quoting software saves time and money throughout the entire production process if it’s properly integrated with CAD/CAM and manufacturing system software. If it’s not, your team’s doomed to constantly reinvent the wheel.
Cutting Software’s Collision Prevention Can Shave Downtime 80%
Lantek’s 2020 version contains more than 100 improvements that emphasize process efficiency as well as remote working for users. Lantek Expert, Lantek Flex3d, Lantek Integra, and Lantek MES Manager have evolved with algorithms to meet market needs.
Auto Racing-World Manufacturer Cuts New Path to Profitability with Automated Metal Cutting
The world’s top engine builders and auto enthusiasts rely on Borla Performance Industries exhaust systems, but parts were taking too long to program and produce. Switching from CNC machining to automated plasma cutting is drastically reducing cycle times.
Ultimate Nesting for Punching Machines
The latest RADAN software for sheet metal fabrication provides savings on raw materials and quicker nesting production. Users can produce more parts per sheet, so it takes less time to produce a batch – saving about 50 minutes per day for 80 nests.
