CGTech has announced that as a result of the CGTech-MachiningCloud-Iscar partnership, VERICUT users can directly download Iscar tool assemblies and use it within VERICUT software with minimal effort.  Most leading cutting tool manufacturers now make 3D solid model data available and VERICUT can read in this model data for use in the simulation process. Iscar’s MachiningCloud application, named IQCloud, increases its customers’ productivity by offering instant access to the company’s complete and up-to-date cutting tool data, without the hassle of searching through printed catalogues and various websites to find ideal tooling and then manually entering the data into the shop’s software. Tool assemblies can be grouped into “jobs,” and the complete job can be imported into VERICUT’s tool manager with only a few clicks. “The accuracy of the data input into VERICUT directly affects the output. So, an accurate model of the cutting tool and holder is required for the effective and

Key highlights of InspectionXpert OnDemand for CAD: Does not require a CAD license to view, balloon, and extract inspection data for reporting Supports both 3D Model-based definition (MBD) and traditional 2D print-based inspection planning Create 3D and 2D PDFs from CAD models Support new DOD Model Based Definition (MBD) standards Standardize MBD inspection plans in your supply chain Uses InspectionXpert OnDemand™ technology for secure, instant access from any computer at any time "InspectionXpert OnDemand is the simplest and fastest way to generate quality inspection forms and ballooned inspection drawings or MBD inspection models," explains Jeff Cope, CEO. "We've purpose-built InspectionXpert OnDemand for

Gibbs and Associates today announced that, beginning November 1 of this year, it began including a no-cost license of VoluMillTM Wireframe for GibbsCAM with each new license of GibbsCAM Production Milling. Until now, the ultra-high-speed-toolpath engine was a fee-based option for GibbsCAM Production Milling, the primary milling package upon which a series of multi-axis GibbsCAM machining options integrate. Production Milling, which provides wireframe geometric modeling and toolpath generation for 2-, 2.5, and 3-axis machining, with 4th axis positioning, will now have VoluMill integrated within its traditional, shop-friendly interface. VoluMill Wireframe for GibbsCAM is a high speed machining process developed specifically to achieve the highest material removal rates while extending tool life through smooth transitions and constant tool loading. Customers have reported cycle time reductions as high as 70% and tool life extension of five times. “Although we believe that our software already carries exceptional value, we are pleased to offer this

Dassault Systèmes today announced at its annual 3DEXPERIENCE Forum NAM two new natural resources industry solution experiences for mining, “Lean Mine Construction” and “Perfect Mine and Plant.” Based on Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform, these industry solution experiences drive transformational change in mining by helping companies develop and run more efficient mines with unprecedented decision-making agility. The mining industry has faced severe business challenges for over a decade. Fragile economic recoveries and changing mining commodity demand have negatively impacted productivity, while operating costs have increased. In addition, operations have suffered from inefficient interaction between core planning, engineering, plant production and geology teams. The result is pressure on profit margins, making many mining operations unprofitable and/or forcing them to close. Dassault Systèmes’ new industry solution experiences introduce greater agility into business planning, design and production to spark long-needed change. With “Lean Mine Construction”, the applications and knowledge required to help ensure that mine sites are completed on
