Copper surfaces provide continuous protection against SARS-CoV-2
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that certain copper alloys provide effective long-term protection against viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19.
D-Greeze-500 LO
D-Greeze-500 LO is non-hazardous and non-HAP offering features and performance which greatly reduce energy and specialized equipment costs. While designed to be a slow evaporator, when quick drying is required it can be instantly blown off using blower generated low pressure high velocity air through an air knife.

3DViewStation 2021
With the newly integrated textures, CAD models appear more detailed and realistic. This look increases the realistic impression of the 3D objects and enhances the design aesthetically. This is particularly interesting for those areas where a realistic representation is important, such as presentations, catalogs or virtual reality.
Velo3D named to ‘World’s Most Innovative Companies’ list
VELO3D, a Campbell, California-based metal additive manufacturing (AM) producer, has been named to Fast Company's annual list of the World's Most Innovative Companies for 2021.
Star Cutter names new service manager
The Star Cutter Co. in Farmington Hills, Michigan, has promoted Bradley Cooper to service manager at its Elk Rapids, Michigan, location.nn
XT H 225 ST 2x Microfocus X-ray CT System
Operation has been greatly simplified and efficiency doubled, enhancing the system's suitability for a wide range of applications from the museum laboratory through academia to the R&D department and on to the factory floor. The intrinsic benefit of X-ray CT is that it allows both the exterior and interior of a sample to be inspected and measured non-destructively.
Power Skiving Added to NUMgear Software
NUM's power skiving option provides the enabling technology for CNC machine tool companies to address a key market opportunity in the nascent compact gearbox manufacturing industry. It is now possible to create an entirely new generation of gear production automation that offers combined hobbing and skiving capabilities on a single machine.
SCANcube IV
SCANcube IV can be perfectly configured for the required application using different tuning and mirror variants. In combination with an RTC control board, optional read-back functions for system monitoring and diagnostics are now available.
Wire EDM Module
The new CAMWorks wire EDM module also includes enhanced feature recognition for non-planar geometry. Instead of the user needing to project the geometry for the top and bottom of the part and create 2D sketches, the new wire EDM software uses geometry directly from the solid model to construct and create the correct top and bottom profiles automatically.
MD838 & MD839 Supreme Circle Segment Cutters
The Walter MD838 Supreme (conical version) has an effective radius of 250-1000 mm, a corner radius of 0.5 - 4.0 mm and is available in diameters of 6-16 mm. Walter also offers a version of this tool with ConeFit exchangeable head.
Robotmaster Robotic Software Update
Building upon the redesigned V7 architecture, first introduced in 2018, Robotmaster uses integrated CAD/CAM functionality to make robotic programming easy and intuitive for everyone, even first-time users. The software is used by a wide range of industries to program robots for tasks that include surfacing, 3D milling, additive manufacturing, welding, painting, and more.
