ModuleWorks Leads New 5-Axis Mold and Die Research Project
ModuleWorks has begun a major new research project aiming to create new automated methods for 5-Axis Machining in Mold and Die manufacture.
The research project is supported by the BMBF (Federal Ministry of Education and Research) under grant 01IS07016 and led by ModuleWorks in collaboration with the Institute for Production Technologies (IPT) at the Fraunhofer Research Centre in Aachen. The goal is to develop new techniques to simplify the programming of 5-Axis toolpaths on complex mold and die components. A team of researchers are working with ModuleWorks software and expertise to extend automation techniques used for 3-Axis machining into the realm of 5-Axis machining
