NUM (NUM Taiwan Ltd) and Taiwan’s Feng Chia University have jointly developed an intelligent CNC gear hobbing machine with an advanced electronic gearbox that completely eliminates the time overheads of changing mechanical gears on traditional machine tools.  Development of the machine began in 2014, under the initiative of Professor Ruihong Xu, who works for the Bachelor’s Program in Precision System Design at the College of Engineering in Feng Chia University. Professor Xu is responsible for a number of industry-university collaborative research and development projects at the university.  Following detailed discussions between NUM and Professor Xu about the potential machine control possibilities of its latest Flexium+ CNC system – which offers an advanced precision electronic gearbox – the company donated a series of CNC controllers to the university in 2014. With the assistance of other providers, the intelligent CNC gear hobbing machine, which utilizes five-axis electronic gear synchronization techniques, is now

Deloitte in the Middle East in collaboration with Deloitte’s Europe, Middle East and Africa Center of Excellence for Telecom Engineering has launched new services which provide support to clients in managing revolutionary disruptive technologies. These technologies and Deloitte’s new offerings to Middle East clients were presented at the 5G and Long Term Evolution (LTE) World Middle East and North Africa (Mena) 2016 conference held in Dubai, UAE. “We are currently witnessing the move from physical to virtual, which Deloitte predicts will be the new revolutionary move by 2020, through two disruptive technologies: network functioning virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN).” “Deloitte in the Middle East is constantly working to expand its range of services and offerings to clients challenged with new technologies and disruptions,” said Rajeev Lalwani, lead partner, Technology Consulting, Deloitte in the Middle East. “Our collaboration with Deloitte’s Center of Excellence for Telecom Engineering will

Ahead of this years' Farnborough International Airshow, engineers and scientists at BAE Systems and the University of Glasgow have outlined their current thinking about military aircraft and how they might be designed and manufactured in the future. The concepts have been developed collaboratively as part of BAE Systems' 'open innovation' approach to sharing technology and scientific ideas which sees large and established companies working with academia and small technology start-ups.  During this century, the scientists and engineers envisage that small Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) bespoke to specific military operations, could be 'grown' in large-scale labs through chemistry, speeding up evolutionary processes and creating bespoke aircraft in weeks, rather than years.  A radical new machine called a Chemputer™ could enable advanced chemical processes to grow aircraft and some of their complex electronic systems, conceivably from a molecular level upwards. This unique UK technology could use environmentally sustainable materials and support military

Tukatech, Inc. proudly announces the introduction of TUKAcad, pattern making grading and marker software, and TUKA3D, 3D fashion design and development software, at Hochschule Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences, the largest European education center in textile and clothing for education and research.

Dr. Michael Ernst has been the lead coordinator in implementation of the Tukatech systems. Ernst summarizes the importance of Tukatech for the University: “Tukatech offers one of the most powerful CAD solutions on the market. Not only do they offer an… easy to handle 2D tool with all relevant functions for pattern making, grading, and marker making (TUKAcad), but they also offer a 3D virtual product development tool to check fit and design directly on customized avatars

MachineWorks Ltd, will be exhibiting brand new features at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS 2016) in Chicago this September, between the 12th and the 17th at booth E-3327.  The forthcoming MachineWorks release contains many exciting developments, one of them being the support of cloud-based applications for CNC simulation and verification. This new feature allows networked devices such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops and desktops to visualise MachineWorks simulations running in the cloud.  A new geometry query API makes rendering integration much easier for applications. It has been designed to be future-proof and flexible. Customers who use both MachineWorks and Polygonica will benefit from a new API to provide a seamless transition between the toolkits, allowing direct and efficient transfer of geometry and associated data. Real-time gouge detection has been extended to support more machining types, including linear, rotational, arc and B-axis turning and multi-axis wire EDM. Although Rapidcut simulation was already extremely fast, the new multithreaded Rapidcut engine makes it even
