FAKUMA Review - Virtual product development - precise and made-to-measure

By the time Maya pulled into the restaurant parking lot ten minutes later, her phone buzzed. It was a text from her friend: "OMG, thank you!! I’m buying those heels tomorrow! See you inside?"

"Okay, pivot plan," she muttered, opening her laptop. She searched for a . Within seconds, she found a reputable retailer. The process was surprisingly seamless: buy a visa e gift card online

: She entered her friend's email address and hit "Send." By the time Maya pulled into the restaurant

: She typed in a quick note: "For that pair of shoes you’ve been eyeing! Can't wait to celebrate tonight." See you inside

Maya walked into the restaurant, gift-giving crisis averted, thanks to a few clicks and a digital delivery.

: She loaded the card with enough for the shoes and a celebratory cocktail.

Maya sat at her desk, staring at the clock. It was 8:00 PM on a Tuesday, and her best friend’s birthday dinner was... well, right now. In the rush of a deadline-heavy week, the perfect physical gift she’d planned to buy had slipped through the cracks.

Improving Part Deformation and Cycle Time with Virtual Molding

June 2019

The reduction of cycle time is an essential condition in every injection molding operation. At the same time, it is important to deliver the required part quality in terms of dimensional stability. SIGMASOFT Virtual Molding with its Autonomous Optimization technology allows comparing multiple scenarios in terms of cooling placement and mold material, to achieve both conditions at the minimum cost per part. The reduction of cycle time is crucial in every injection molding operation. At the (…)

Vero Waveform Saves Tool Costs of Over £100 Per Part

February 2017

Trials carried out with Seco Tools show that Vero Software’s powerful, game-changing Waveform Roughing Strategy can save nearly £130,000 on cutting tool costs for 1,000 parts, compared with conventional machining strategies. The results came from trials using a Seco 20mm tool, cutting components from EN24 steel. Vero’s Strategic Partnership Manager, Wesley Tonks, says: “Tool life is dependent on how the tool is implemented within the machining process. We always state the increase in (…)

Tombstone Module: One Of 50 Edgecam Updates

November 2016

The new 2017 release of Edgecam introduces a Tombstone module for assembling pre-existing parts on a defined mounting device. A simple dialog window enables users to add pre-machined part files, specifying the positions they are to be mounted on a tombstone or other multi-component work-holding device. Once they are assembled, Edgecam automatically merges and rationalises all machining sequences by tool or index position and optimising the NC output into sub-routines. Edgecam Brand Manager (…)
