By John McEleneyAre copies of your proprietary designs on multiple computers in multiple locations – with partners, manufacturers, vendors and suppliers? Do you have an inadvertent leakage problem without even knowing it?Odds are extremely high that both your answers are a screaming “YES!”As John Rousseau, who leads the Operations team here at Onshape, puts it, here’s one scenario where you could confidently say you have no security problem:“Keeping your data on a desktop machine in a physically secure room with no network connection, no other users, and no other software (except a traditional CAD package) would be very secure,” he…
There can’t be many Haas Technical Education Centres (HTECs) in the world that are as well-built, well-equipped and well-staffed as the one at La Joliverie Technical College, in Nantes, France. All HTECs are created to the exacting standards laid down in the Haas programme, but even so, most are relatively modest additions to a school or college, perhaps with two or three Haas machines and perhaps a computer room, for a few CAD/CAM seats. At La Joliverie, there are ten Haas machines, supplied by regional Haas Factory Outlet (HFO) Realmeca, including an EC400 horizontal machining centre and an ST-30Y turning…
Jon Hirschtick is the founder of Onshape, the first professional 3D CAD system to run on a web browser, phone or tablet. He previously founded SolidWorks, was the director of engineering at Computervision, and began his career as an intern at the MIT CADLab. His hobbies include magic, golf, blackjack, 3D printing, tennis and yoga. Over the last four decades, I’ve watched CAD grow to become a vital part of the way virtually all products are designed and manufactured. In 1981, when I was a student at MIT’s CAD research lab, there were probably only thousands of CAD users in…

Since its market launch, the TNC 640 has increasingly been becoming the first choice for high-end controls with efficient and highly precise milling operations. Why? Because it makes milling so simple, because HEIDENHAIN has expanded its functions in a practical, user-friendly way with a keen sense of workshop needs, and because in addition to milling it also enables turning on the same machine. The new features of software version 4 currently being dispatched for the TNC 640 range from the programming and simulation of operations directly on the machine to setup and configuration, as well as many machining functions. This…
Pramet’s high feed Penta HF cutter offers a highly versatile and simplified milling option for multiple applications. Designed primarily for high metal removal operations, the Penta HF is suitable for machining a wide variety of materials, including corrosion-resistant steels, difficult-to-machine steels and heat-treated steels. The cutter features a 19° entering angle, enabling a maximum feed per tooth of 3mm. By supporting faster feed rates, machining time is reduced. In addition, a special surface finish promotes increased corrosion resistance, as well as reduced wear and friction resistance. With its economical five cutting edge inserts design, the assortment is suitable for roughing…
The advent of continuously falling prices in electronics and power electronics combined with the ever increasing cost and scarcity of labour has certainly pushed us into the age of robotics. The fact that China, a country where all economic factors were identical to that of India’s in the 1980s and a country that was known in the past decades as the world’s manufacturing hub due to its low labour costs, is today also the world’s largest consumer of industrial robots. This itself is a proof that we have already entered the age of robotics. They say people should think and…
Dunlop Aerospace Braking Systems, a part of Meggitt plc, is a global organisation that designs, develops and manufactures wheels and brakes for commercial and military aircraft applications. Aircraft production in the UK has experienced steady growth and to meet this demand the hub and flange cell at Dunlop Aerospace purchased 3 key CNC machines between 1998 and 2000, at that time actively specifying Renishaw probe systems. This has increased process consistency and has also had a marked effect on the manufacturing time. Dramatic reductions Andrew Cartledge, team leader of the hub and flange cell, speaks positively about the decision to…
