Cutting tool specialist CIS has set up a unique service, proving out parts for customers, using Edgecam as both its CAD and CAM systems. Operating from its new, dedicated, Product Proving Centre in High Wycombe, CIS now provides full tooling information and cutting data for components that customers are having issues with. Also, if the customer is already using Edgecam, CIS can supply the full CNC program as well. CIS has distributed cutting tools for over 30 years, currently supplying a wide range from companies such as Sandvik Coromant, Seco, Iscar, and Garr Tool. And now Managing Director Bryan Clover has taken the service a step further, by setting up the Product Proving Centre to assist customers facing issues with individual components. Centre Manager Dave Clarke says: “We work with manufacturers in many industrial sectors, including motorsport, aircraft and medical, where high precision components and fast turn-around times are essential.

CD-adapco, the largest privately held CFD-focused provider of Computer Aided Engineering software, announced that Dutch innovation company TNO and international energy consultancy Xodus Group have completed the first phase of a pioneering joint industry project (JIP) into the dynamic forces which affect the integrity of piping systems, in particular through multiphase flow. The second phase of the project, which is expected to be run across three stages, is now open for new participants to join. Eight companies were involved in the first phase of the project: BP, Statoil, Total, Suncor, Shell, Lundin, Aker Solutions and FMC. TNO carried out the bulk of the test work at its facilities in The Netherlands, while Xodus managed the program and developed CFD schemes to be able to reproduce the measured results. Additionally, CD-adapco provided software (STAR-CCM+®) and carried out simulations in support of the JIP. Multiphase flow, the passage of more than one fluid, gas
