Start with
the news release NC tool path verification celebrates 20th year from
CGTech, which we summarised at the time by saying "Celebrating its 20th year, CGTech said its continual enhancement of VERICUT reflects the company's ongoing commitment to delivering innovative, powerful NC tool path verification".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Time to buy the latest CNC machine tools from
Mike Page - editor's feature articles: "This year may be the right time to visit some of the six European machine tool and manufacturing exhibitions and invest in the latest cost cutting technology, writes Mike Page".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Haas Automation
concerning its Vertical machining centres at Midas Pattern
- take a look at Vertical machining centres cut patterns
which says: "Producer of low volume reaction injection moulded parts and polyurethane castings uses five vertical machining centres to cut master pattern equipment from polyurethane tooling board".
Take a look also at the news release from Yamazaki Mazak UK, Vertical machining centre shortens cycle times,
as well as Large horizontal machining centres come to UK from Matsuura Machinery,
and 3D CAM covers all CNC machining processes from EdgeCAM.
