Open Mind has added to the hyperMILL CAD/CAM suite: One of the world's leading CAD/CAM solutions for satisfying the requirements of industrial 3D printing processes has been further complemented by hyperMILL ADDITIVE Manufacturing. As a universal software solution, hyperMILL – together with this option will provide efficient hybrid processing with simultaneous additive and subtractive processing on one single machine.

The Optimizer, an optional module in the hyperMILL VIRTUAL Machining simulation solution from Open Mind, enables users to improve NC programs based on the kinematics of the individual machine. The machining process is simulated by using a digital twin. This enables the users to overcome the complexity associated with alternative setup and orientation options in 5-axis machining.

Kennametal has developed a 3D-printed stator bore tool to meet growing customer demand for lighter weight tooling solutions used to machine components for hybrid and electric vehicles. E-mobility components are typically machined on small, low-horsepower CNC machining centers that require lighter weight tooling solutions. Kennametal's 3D printed stator bore tool weighs half that of the conventionally manufactured version, while still meeting accuracy, roundness and surface finish requirements for aluminum motor body boring.

Kennametal announced its latest innovation in high-velocity aluminum roughing, the KOR 5 solid-carbide endmill. With this 5-flute endmill table feed rates increase up to 66% compared to commonly used 3-flute tools—redefining productivity for aircraft manufacturers and their suppliers.

Kennametal introduced another high-performance cutting tool, the B21*SGL solid-carbide drill with through-coolant. Designed for stainless steel, nickel and cobalt-based alloys, the B21*SGL with patented point geometry and monolayer PVD AlTiN coating, delivers improved productivity and longer tool life for aerospace and energy applications requiring predictable, high-production drilling.

Kennametal announced an expansion of the turret-adapted clamping units (TACU): ER-ready driven units in conjunction with a line of solid ER collets that are threaded to accept screw-on milling cutters.

Kennametal announced its latest innovation in hard turning, KBH10B and KBH20B PCBN grades, double-sided inserts for materials up to 65 HRC. The new grades deliver high productivity and long tool life when turning tool steels and other hardened materials.

Kennametal announced the latest addition to its HARVI line of high-performance solid endmills, the HARVI I TE 4-flute solid-carbide endmill. With a radical new design, the HARVI I TE delivers outstanding performance in a broad range of materials, including steel, stainless steel, high-temperature alloys and cast iron. And thanks to significantly reduced cutting forces, this tool can be used on any machining center or mill/turn center in the shop.

YG-1 SV-Point spade drill inserts provide longer tool life at higher spindle speeds and feeds than conventional spade drills. SV-Point spade drill inserts offer exceptional performance in a wide range of applications and materials, including steel, stainless steel and cast iron.

By harnessing the portable productivity, performance and run-time that they can deliver through M12 FUEL technology, Milwaukee introduces the M12 FUEL 1/4" right-angle die grinder. A right-angle die grinder that delivers the size and performance professional service mechanics demand, this new tool offers up to 0.3-hp performance, 4-Mode rpm control, and the mobility to fit in the tightest spaces.

The GrindSmart 830XW from Rollomatic integrates the innovative combination of hydrostatic technology and linear motors to produce both large and small tools from 1 mm to 32 mm diameter and flute lengths of up to 200 mm.

Tungaloy further expands its ISO-EcoTurn line of economical turning inserts, to include new geometries and nose radius size for precision finishing of steel.
