Smart Molding International 3-2021

5 www.smart-molding.com contents 40 At the world's leading trade fair for the dental industry, IDS in Cologne, Germany, high-tech company TRUMPF will soon be showcasing solutions for series production in 3D printing. With the improved "Multiplate" solution, manufacturers can produce up to 400 teeth in one piece. The 3D printer works automatically overnight without the need for employees to be present. The highly competitive solution helps dental labs avoid bottlenecks during peak orders and works approximately ten times faster than milling. CoreTech System Co., Ltd. (Moldex3D) has released Moldex3D 2021 – the latest version of its molding analysis software series. In response to a faster changing market in the Industry 4.0 era, Moldex3D 2021 helps businesses realize seamless design and manufacturing integration, producing world-class products within stricter time limits. More powerful analysis modules were incorporated in the system to meet different customer needs across industries. Moldex3D 2021 has also optimized the efficiency of data processing on Linux HPC. ENGEL is expanding its range of smart assistance systems for Fakuma 2021. The new iQ motion control enables ENGEL viper series linear robots to make a safe early start combined with fully automatically optimised track planning. The prerequisite for parallel motion is that the injection moulding machine and robot share a database. This means double benefits for users, through time savings in the teach-in and shorter production cycles. The efficiency gains are particularly clear in applicationswith large mould opening strokes. 24 Following a year of “Fakuma break”, WITTMANN Group is going to present its product highlights again live on site in Friedrichshafen. This year’s presentation includes the new SmartPlus servo- hydraulic machine, an all-electric EcoPower 55/350, AIRMOULD® internal gas pressure technology and more. In addition to the exhibits on display at the booth, the company will offer its visitors the opportunity to receive information about further selected developments using its new media technology WITTMANN Interactive. 28 43
