ProNest LT subscriptions for waterjet will support virtually any make or model of a waterjet machine, allowing users to easily insert the nesting component into their existing workflow. There are two waterjet subscription tiers to choose from.

The solution enables Mastercam users to simulate and verify G-code including controller variables, subprograms, expressions and canned cycles for a wide range of machine tools before the workpiece is mounted on the machine.

Flow 5.0 includes checks and messages that identify possible errors before a build even starts, reducing the likelihood of customers experiencing failures in their builds. In doing so, engineers can be confident that a part will print successfully before the process begins. Flow also now includes labeling for objects.

Through a partnership with Siemens, machine tool builder DMG Mori offers an entry-level, compact machine that works a 440-pound steel workpiece into a rock bit with better tool life, a higher degree of accuracy and higher overall production efficiencies.

Users can upload a 3D CAD model for machining on protolabs.com to access the expanded options inside Protolabs' online quoting platform, which are then fulfilled by Protolabs' digital factories or one of its digitally enabled manufacturing partners. All of the advanced machining capabilities are now live and available to customers.

CNC Software LLC, developer of Mastercam, announced that Liz Shovlin has joined the company as marketing director.

EasyNest Online software works automatically while allowing users to manage specific situations, guiding them in order to guarantee smooth program execution. Users can create a ready-to-cut nest and generate NC code for tool paths in minutes and without any training. EasyNest Online is available through the password protected InduSuite.com application interface.

A universal and flexible CNC system, the SINUMERIK ONE is distinguished by its high-performance hardware, a redesigned user interface and numerous options now included as standard. With a wide range of functionality, it is suitable for use in a wide range of technologies. The Sinumerik ONE sets standards in terms of dynamics, accuracy and network integration.

For easy programming of recurring shapes with a single click, hyperMILL 2023 has a new General Transformation Pattern feature. The new feature uses a selected reference geometry and searches for the same reference in all other models regardless of its spatial orientation, creating a general transformation pattern including associated frames.

As it is automated, reconstruction by Dual.Material CT is highly repeatable from component to component and does not require advanced knowledge of scanning techniques when inspecting assemblies comprising two materials of different densities.

The Robotmaster plugin for Mastercam supports Mastercam 2023, the current release, as well as Mastercam 2021 and 2022. And while the new plugin streamlines robotic programming for Mastercam customers, those looking for a standalone solution can simply rely on Robotmaster's integrated CAD/CAM functionality.

A spray with which workpiece dimensions and colour values can be digitised in one scan: AESUB transparent. The workpieces are sprayed uniformly with AESUB transparent from a distance of 15 to 20 centimetres. After just a few seconds, a matt, transparent layer is generated on the workpiece's surface.
