At the Formnext 2021 (Nov 16-19 in Frankfurt, Germany), ModuleWorks spoke with Andreas Saar, former Vice President of Manufacturing Engineering Solutions at Siemens, about the advances and challenges in additive manufacturing. The increasing demand to manufacture complex geometries and structures for higher performance, better functionality and greater usability of print products, the need for ecologically

ModuleWorks, supplier of CAD/CAM software components, and Energid, software supplier for cooperative and high-axis robotic systems, have extended their partnership. The two companies already supply CAM developers with solutions for subtractive and additive robotic manufacturing and are now extending and intensifying this cooperation to accelerate the development of automated, customized workflows for robotic manufacturing. “Energid

METROM, manufacturer of parallel kinematic machine tools, has integrated ModuleWorks hybrid toolpath planning software into its pentapod machining centers to offer high-performance additive and subtractive manufacturing of complex freeform workpieces on a single, mobile machine tool. Instead of taking workpieces to the machining center, METROM mobile machining centers come to the workpiece for convenient, just-in-time

Rafinex, developer of advanced numerical optimization software solutions, and ModuleWorks, developer of CAD/CAM software components, have integrated ModuleWorks toolpath calculation technology with the Rafinex software algorithm suite. In effective synchronization, topology optimization and toolpath planning enable more effective design-to-manufacture processes. This eliminates late change requests, avoids machining and robotic problems during the design phase and

CADS Additive, manufacturer of high-performance data preparation software for metallic additive processes, is integrating ModuleWorks toolpath calculation algorithms into its AM Studio solution to achieve fast time-to-print for an extended range of additive processes.   AM Studio speeds up data preparation for additive manufacturing by helping operators identify the optimal part orientation, the correct support
