Products 64 MoldMaking Technology —— SEPTEMBER 2017 On Display at WESTEC — September 12-14, Los Angeles, California — westeconline.com Latest Software Has New Features for Deep-Hole Drilling Tebis America will display the latest release of its Version 4.0 at WESTEC 2017. Version 4.0 has enhanced features. For example, it can create area curves during part comparison to enable better detection and limitation of modified areas. The new function creates nonoverlapping shifted surfaces from any curves at defined angles. In addition, users can automatically morph parts together with the most complex trimming curves in surface morphing. The new release fully retains geometry of the original curves and transfers the color properties 1-1. Also, users can include curves in surface morphing. In the latest Version 4.0, deep-hole drilling in the CAM area has better orientation to support automated calculation and machining. The software also comes with a new tool type that has an extended set of cutting data and special speeds, feed rates, cooling types and depth sections that deep-hole drilling requires. The latest issue of Version 4.0 has simpler toolpath definition in five-axis milling. Additionally, the software has improved function operating conve- nience. The release includes options for fast vector smoothing and for tilt- optimized calculation of toolpaths. These features are available even without the manual definition of vectors. Tebis America Inc. / tebis.com / Booth 1823 Software's AM Module Simulates Hybrid Manufacturing Processes CGTech will demonstrate the newest version of its CNC machine simulation, verification and optimization software, Vericut 8.1. The software includes an additive manufacturing module for hybrid CNC machines, which simulates both additive and traditional machining processes in any order to help identify potential problems that can occur when integrating additive methods. Users can also access history stored with Vericut's droplet technology, which can save programmers time in identifying the sources of errors. The module checks laser cladding and material deposition, detects collisions between the machine and part, and finds errors, voids and misplaced material. The software also simulates the postprocessed NC code that is used to drive the machine and ensures proper usage of AM functions and laser parameters for accuracy. CGTech / cgtech.com / Booth 1927 Computer Tomographs Provide Flexibility with Speed, Large Measuring Ranges Zeiss will highlight its Metrotom 800, which has an extended performance spectrum, and its Metrotom 1500. These computer tomographs are designed to address companies' need for flexibility as new materials and hybrid processes are developed, with features including speed and large measuring ranges.
