WorkNC partnered with DMG Mori Seiki and Hitachi Tool to produce an intricate lifesize model of a pilot’s head and helmet for displaying on their booth at the Le Bourget International Paris Air Show in June.

The bust was machined from 10 aluminium blocks using WorkNC’s diverse 2D 3-axis, 3+2-axis and 5-axis toolpaths, all programmed with the latest release, Version 24.

Thanks to the new Transformation functionality, toolpaths only had to be created for half the helmet. Symmetrical toolpaths were then reproduced with a single mouse click, eliminating additional calculation time, meaning the Mori Seiki DMU 60 eVo linear machine could start...

Synopsys, Inc. today expanded its IP Accelerated initiative with support for ARM® processors with the newDesignWare® Hybrid IP Prototyping Kits.
