The Raspberry Pi's low-cost and widely used hardware can contain valuable and protectable data and functions. Swissbit now offers an easy-to-implement safety system based on a long-lasting flash memory suitable for industrial applications. This way, hardware-based security functions can be implemented independently of the CPU and with high flexibility – even retrospectively.

A number of these productivity boosts have been achieved by reducing calculation time with EDGECAM 2021's enhanced parallel-processing capability. Two of the most popular machining cycles – Roughing and Profiling – benefit from improvements to the software's multi-threading technology algorithms. Three significant time savings: EDGECAM's world-leading high-speed Waveform Roughing strategy is now significantly faster when generating toolpath for both solid and wireframe components.

CoroPlus ProcessControl predicts, detects and reacts to machining process problems within milliseconds

An array of new and enhanced functionality and seamless integration with other software packages ensures that the latest release of ALPHACAM stays at the forefront of helping manufacturers create smart factories in line with Industry 4.0. Updates to the Automation Manager in ALPHACAM 2021 assist users in preparing jobs for processing, as well as with management.

Both versatile and impact-resistant, BigRep's new ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is perfectly suited for mobility applications and a variety of end-use consumer appliances. Weather- and UV-resistant, BigRep's new ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) material is a robust, engineering-grade filament with high mechanical resistance, low shrinkage and superior layer adhesion, while also showing a greater heat resistance than even ABS.

NCSIMUL virtually builds the real-life machining environment to avoid errors, decrease set-up times and switch CNC programs between machines. nnThe 2021 release features a new comparison mode that detects excessive material during a fast and hidden simulation.

May 5, 2020 — In the midst of the corona crisis, in between restrictions on movement and contact, a key word that seems to be a universal remedy for industry and the economy is suddenly doing the rounds again: digitalisation.

Two new unique ways to create search statements are introduced to OCTOPUZ.

The MYNXG Blockchain is designed to process large transaction volumes at high speed, which is required for global business operations with millions of connected IOT devices. It can handle the transactions all fixed and mobile devices that operate and transact globally within MYNXG secure IOT platform architecture.

ESPRIT Additive for Powder Bed Fusion is compatible with any file supported by SolidWorks. One standout feature of the new software is the patented Part-to-Build When preparing a part for manufacturing, the program automatically assigns exposure strategies based on simple inputs from the user.

As we enter a month of navigating business in the midst of this pandemic, we know that there is anxiety about the future. In uncertain times, it is more important than ever that we share experiences and learn from one another.

2020.0's new neighborhood search features, the option to merge selected objects to a single one, a faster, more accurate clash detection and the ability to semantically search PMI. KISTERS provides visualization applications for the Windows desktop, web (via any HTML5 browser) as well as a VR edition.
