Building machinery, equipment and furniture for the medical, surgical and pharmaceutical sector is a true technological challenge for companies in the industry. The material has to meet strict standards for safety, quality, reliability, precision and hygiene. Most of the equipment, in one way or another, is in contact with patients and medical staff and is also, on many occasions, key to saving many lives. Manufactures in this sector are fully aware of these circumstances, and, for that reason, in recent years they have invested significant time and energy in R&D to improve their products. In this process of continuous improvement, they have found a significant ally– Lantek. With its software solutions for companies that produce pieces from sheet metal, tubes and profiles with any kind of cutting technology (laser, plasma, oxycut, water jet, shear) and punching, it has enabled a notable increase in the quality and safety parameters of the

Today's engineers and designers carry their lives – their contacts, calendars, texts and emails – in their pockets and now they'll be able to bring their CAD system wherever they go, too. Onshape for Android is the first professional 3D CAD system to run on Android phones and tablets. The new mobile release comes just five months after the launch of Onshape Beta, the only full-cloud 3D CAD system that lets everyone on a design team simultaneously work together on the same model using any web browser, phone, or tablet. "We founded Onshape with a vision to make CAD accessible on any device, anywhere," says Onshape founder and Chairman of the Board, Jon Hirschtick. "We're proud to be the first in the industry to run on Android. And by 'run,' I mean really run. You're not just viewing models. You're able to sketch, extrude, fillet, shell, create 3D models, edit their shape and size,

“Delcam’s FeatureCAM has substantially reduced the time required to create our typical program,” claimed Danny Littlejohn, machinist at Bemis Manufacturing.  “Key advantages of FeatureCAM include its ability to import solid models from CAD software, to identify features in the model automatically, and to store common machining operations so that they can be applied to the part geometry with a few clicks.” Bemis Manufacturing, based in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin, is the largest manufacturer of toilet seats in the world and a leading producer of healthcare products, custom plastic products and precision plastic parts.  The family-owned company also manufactures outdoor and indoor furniture, and a host of various contracted extrusion and injection-moulded plastic parts for companies such as John Deere and Whirlpool Corporation.  It is a pioneer of co-injection moulding, a process in which virgin resin is injected with recycled plastic. Bemis Manufacturing has a small machine shop that is primarily kept busy building

InterSpec Inc. announces that they will be introducing their new proprietary InfoWare® program at CSI Construct 2015. InfoWare is designed to enable building product manufacturers (BPMs) to get up-to-date listings of current and on-going projects within their sphere or product lines during the design phase, typically 6 months to 3 years before the project goes to bid. Most products available today provide an abbreviated version of this information post-bid only. "This product will benefit both the building product manufacturer and the specification writer," said Gilles Letourneau, President and CEO of InterSpec, Inc. "The BPM will be able to get their best products in front of the specification writer at the exact moment the specifier is working on that area of the specification document, and the specifier can be confident that they have the most current product information available." Project listings do not rely on human reports but are automated, giving a more complete list
