Digital Manufacturing

ModuleWorks was part of the EU-funded GEMS project that has developed a toolbox of algorithms for the cost-effective manufacturing of freeform surfaces. Freeform surfaces are popular in all engineering design disciplines, from industry and consumer goods to civil engineering. Unlike regular surfaces such as planes and cylinders, freeform surfaces do not have rigid radial dimensions.

The first ModuleWorks Insider Conference – MIC 2016 – took place on 3-4 November in Aachen, Germany. Over 50 representatives from the world’s leading CAM software companies met to learn about the latest software developments and discuss the future of the CAM industry. ModuleWorks software components for multi-axis toolpath generation and simulation are a core

MTS AG, the specialist software provider for CNC grinding machines, has chosen ModuleWorks CAD/CAM software components for 3D material removal simulation. The ModuleWorks simulation components are integrated into the MTS “tool-kit PROFESSIONAL” software for the production and regrinding of milling, drilling and lathe tools. This enables MTS to offer a proven, state-of-the-art material removal simulation

Okuma uses the ModuleWorks multi-axis core technology to provide state-of-the-art toolpath generation and verification for bevel gear machining. ModuleWorks software components are designed for generic surface based cycles and maximum programming flexibility, which enables Okuma to deliver a high-precision bevel gear solution without the need for specialized CNC machines or dedicated CAM solutions.
