The latest version of Siemens' NX software (NX 11) reportedly delivers a breakthrough in digital product development with Convergent Modeling, a new modeling paradigm that simplifies the ability to work with geometry consisting of a combination of facets, surfaces and solids, without the need for time-consuming data conversion. Convergent Modeling will help engineers optimize part design for 3D printing, speed up the overall design process and make reverse engineering a far more common and efficient practice in product design.

All Sensors Corp. has announced a brand new low pressure sensor, the DLHR series. This new devices series reportedly offers design engineers superior performance over lower pressure ranges of 0.5 to 60 inH2O, compared to the DLH. The DLHR series provides higher resolution than any other fully compensated low-pressure sensor on the market, according to the company.

Okuma's new V920EX one-saddle, vertical lathe features a powerful turning spindle and a large work envelope, making it ideal for cutting a variety of large, heavy parts. The V920EX boasts a work envelope with a maximum turning diameter of 36.22" and 33.86" of swing over the saddle enabling it to accommodate large, odd–shaped workpieces.

Exact introduced Smart Shop Floor with Exact for Manufacturing, a cloud-based application for factory operators and workers to efficiently retrieve job data, track time and materials and record job progress within Exact for Manufacturing. The Smart Shop Floor app breaks down the physical and virtual barriers of a manufacturing business, creating constant, clear communication between all employees from the back office to the shop floor.

KYZEN introduces a line of solvent blends designed for high reliability in a wide spectrum of industrial cleaning applications. With critical focus on meeting increasing regulations and high quality output, KYZEN's new solvents have affectionately been dubbed "green and clean," by many in the industry.

4D Technology today announced the 4D InSpec Surface Gauge, a handheld, noncontact instrument that measures precision machined surface defects and features with micrometer-level resolution. The 4D InSpec employs 4D's patented technology, which enables rapid measurements that are unaffected by vibration present in most manufacturing environments.

To simplify product selection of maintenance-free, self-lubricating linear guides, motion plastics specialist igus has developed a modular construction kit for belt-driven DryLin ZLW linear axes. With the new "ZLW toolkit," customers can customize their own solutions, including rail widths, system length, etc., even for small installation spaces.

Walther Trowal offers a new generation of blast turbines for the troughed-belt, continuous-feed shot blast machines, type THM. These turbines increase the throwing speed and, thus, reduce cycle times for shot blasting of light metals like aluminum and magnesium.

JETCAM announced the launch of version 19.08 of its Expert CADCAM and nesting software, featuring several major new features, interface enhancements across the software along with several new and updated postprocessors. Significant improvements and configuration options have been added to JETCAM's Right Angle Shear (RAS) logic, resulting in higher quality parts when repositions are required.

To help manufacturers enjoy benefits such as reduced cycle times and greater tool life when performing hard part turning, Sandvik Coromant has strengthened its existing offer in the ISO H05 to H15 application area with the introduction of two new grades: CB7105 and CB7115. The grades will be of particular benefit to those machining transmission components for the automotive industry, where lower cost per part can be achieved.

KME CNC announced that it has surpassed the company's wireless 5-axis tombstones with its new wireless 5-axis trunnions. KME CNC designs and manufactures American-made 5-axis systems that transforms current 3-axis and 4-axis machines to 5-axis production on virtually any machining centers.

Flow International Corp. announced the next generation of waterjet software, FlowXpert 2016. FlowXpert is a robust CAD/CAM waterjet software platform for 3D pathing and cutting that allow users to work more effectively in 3D, with less complexity.
