PTC Creo EMX 9.0 M020 for Creo 1.0-3.0 Plastic part design is the process and skill of balancing the unique material properties of plastic and the demands of molding with the characteristics and requirements of the product being designed. Industry has made eager use of this lightweight, moldable material to cut manufacturing costs, improve consumer appeal, and reduce everything from the usage of scarce natural resources to the number of dings on the driver-side door. Not bad for a material that found its first commercial application in the mid-19th century. And yet despite plastic’s promise, it can be difficult and time-consuming to work with – as anyone knows who’s been faced with a bad mold or the results of a...

InnovMetric PolyWorks 2016 IR4 More than ten years ago, InnovMetric embarked on an ambitious journey to deliver a universal hardware-independent 3D metrology software platform to its customers. With PolyWorks 2016, the definition of what constitutes a universal platform takes on an entirely new meaning: a universal digitizing hub that interfaces with any type of 3D metrology measurement device, and offers a universal workflow for performing all inspection tasks. This innovative end-to-end approach will significantly lower the total cost of software ownership for industrial manufacturers as it eliminates metrology workflow silos, decreases the cost of training, facilitates broader collaboration between teams, ensures consistency in measurement results, and increases workforce mobility. With PolyWorks 2016, portable metrology and CNC CMM operators are now...

VERO WORKNC V2016 SU1 WorkNC 2016WorkNC keeps on improving its well-known expertize in efficient and reliable machining. WorkNC 2016 integrates the innovative Waveform technology that will reinforce its key assets: toolpath reliability, time savings, cost reduction and high surface quality. The Waveform technology Increased tool service life In order de maintain a constant chip load, the strategy machines from the external side of the stock towards the geometry of the part. This principle avoids sharp directional changes, especially on external areas, which allows maintaining a consistent tool engagement in the material and reducing the number of retracts on the toolpath. The tool and machine service life is therefore improved. Higher Productivity The lateral step is automatically adjusted in order to...
