It’s not about playing with the cost, but budgeting well in order to manufacture efficiently and maximise the margins. By Asier Ortiz, CTO of Lantek.

Today, intelligent software solutions form the basis of the digital transformation of manufacturing process chains like DMG Mori’s Celos system.

CGTech’s Vericut CNC machine simulation, verification and optimiSation software simulates all types of CNC machining, including drilling and trimming of composite parts, water jet, riveting, robots, mill/turn and parallel kinematics.

Faro’s new 3D laser scanners with high dynamic range photography (HDR) produce detailed images in bright and dark lighting conditions and feature extended colour resolution of up to 170 megapixels per scan. While typical digital images cover a contrast range of 255-to-1, the new FARO laser scanners capture brightness ranges of up to 4 billion-to-1.

Wenzel’s Metrosoft Quartis and 3D mouse measuring machine software from 3Dconnexion comes in combination with a traditional mouse to allow a two-handed and simultaneous operation.

CGTech will be holding demonstrations on the latest version of its Vericut software during the AeroDef Manufacturing Conference & Exposition with Composites Manufacturing, to be held on February 8-10, 2016 at Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center, California.
