Careful evaluation and right-sizing your CAD/CAM system is essential in optimizing your business’s automation, efficiency, connectivity, and precision. Software is a large investment but is also a huge factor in building efficiencies and driving success. To help you meet this challenge, IMTS spark is showcasing the world of custom automation and the latest innovations in software. These live demos, sessions, and showrooms will give you everything you need to deliver the greatest impact with maximum efficiency. Further, the software featured in IMTS spark will help you connect islands of disconnected digital data into more fully integrated solutions to empower design and performance.

  1. Live Demo - Make the Switch to 3D in Fusion 360 – Available Now! Learn how to decrease the time cost of manufacturing your parts with 3D toolpaths in Fusion 360. This session will show you how you can use parametric functions to decrease programming and run time. These functions recognize toolpaths such as 3D Adaptive Clearing, 3D Contour, and Horizontal.

  2. IMTS Conference - Hype or Reality? The True Status of Industry 4.0 in Manufacturing – Available Now! It’s been several years since the concept of Industry 4.0 was first introduced, promising manufacturers revolutionary change. But how much are those manufacturers capitalizing on it?

  3. Adaptive Scanning Probes and Intuitive Programming Apps – Available Now! Focused on making probing easier and faster, Renishaw offers several scanning software packages, which can decrease cycle time, increase the amount of data collected, and enable adaptive machining. In addition, this session showcases some simple-to-use programming apps that can be installed directly onto a machine or tablet.

  4. Completing the Digital Twin with a Digital Triplet – Available Now! Explore the Digital Triplet, which takes manufacturers beyond inspecting parts. A Digital Triplet creates a full 3D record of a part before it is shipped including critical dimensions and metrology grade measurements of all surfaces. Adding an AICON 3D Optical scanner to a CMM enables this detailed scanning without reducing the measuring volume of the CMM. This showcase demonstrates how AICON scanners integrate with PC-DMIS and can be implemented easily without the need to purchase or learn new software.

  5. Start Up Showcase: Unifize - Get Ready for Software to Radically Change – Available Now! Software innovations are set to radically change processes in manufacturing companies. For the past 70 years, they have been managed by database-driven systems like ERP, CRM, eQMS, and PLM. Sold by software companies to managers, these old systems focus on data capture and process control. Find out what's to come and how it can help you set new records.
