The software, which is part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, enables engineers to master the complexity of product development and innovation with state-of-the-art simulation.

Product marking with individual barcodes or data matrix codes, incremented serial numbers in plain text and logos during the extrusion process have become indispensable in the extrusion of pipes or profiles. The switch to a sustainable circular economy and traceability are placing increasing demands on marking.
One of Loka Metallverarbeitung's core competencies is welding processes. An unexpectedly intensively used solution at Loka comes from the start-up WSoptics: the use of a laser cutting system as an automatic welding machine.
PJK Feinmechanik specializes in particularly precise or very complex CNC components. The company relies on a special strategy in production and relies on SolidCAM.

The digital twin is a key technology for optimizing production processes and components and increasing the efficiency of production.
The modeling of compliant and fluidic effects in automated gripping increases development efficiency, freedom from damage, process productivity and reliability in the industrial handling of delicate objects.

In the latest version of the 3D printing software 4D_Additive, CoreTechnology adds a Nastran interface and makes it possible to quickly create a wide range of lattice structures and validate them with simulation tools.

What is the best way to put digitalization concepts into practice, especially when it comes to mobile components? Nicola Magrone and Udo Marmann explain SEW-Eurodrive's modular approach, for which the company has defined its own business segment.

Virtual commissioning (VIBN) is the classic use case for the digital twin in mechanical and plant engineering.
