IMTS 2026: What Machine Design Will be Watching (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The show will cover more than 1.2 million square feet with more than 1,800 exhibitors. That is a lot of ground to cover. But the announcements leading up to the show point to two themes: the continued push to get more productivity from machine tools, and the growing presence of AI, software and data across the manufacturing process. The machine tool remains at the center of the show. New multitasking, multifunction, hybrid and five-axis machining centers are planned from companies including Okum
Design Brief: Using AI to Build Reusable CAD Tools (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For many design engineers, collaboration still begins with a file. The process is familiar: A model is saved, uploaded, shared, checked out or copied before someone else can work on it. Yet the process can also create version confusion and discourage experimentation. In the accompanying video, Kevin Cowles, Senior Technical Services Engineer, OnShape by PTC, demonstrates how the OnShape platform combines CAD and product data management (PDM) in a cloud environment. “From the very beginning of On
Q&A: What AI-Native Electrical CAD Could Mean for Engineers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When WSCAD approached Machine Design about the U.S. launch of ELECTRIX AI, the timing aligned neatly with a week of editorial coverage focused on CAD, CAE and the evolving engineering software landscape. With growing industry attention on how AI is infiltrating design workflows, our editors wanted to understand what an AI-native approach could mean for electrical CAD users. A key voice in that discussion is Dr. Axel Zein, CEO of WSCAD GmbH and President of WSCAD Inc., who describes his role as h
Design Brief: Overcoming Machine Vision’s Low-Light Barrier (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If machine vision systems had only one job, it would be to turn difficult image data into reliable inspection decisions. But motion blur, low light and high dynamic range can still make that harder than it should. Machine vision systems break down when speed and lighting become unpredictable. That's because conventional image sensors cannot simultaneously capture fast motion, low-light scenes and high dynamic range. When lighting changes, important details can disappear in both bright and dark a
The Robots Are Getting Real: Lessons from Hannover Messe’s Industrial AI Reality (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you want to see where industrial technology is headed next, Hannover Messe has long been the place to look. But this year felt different. Walking the halls of the German fairground in 2026, the prevailing conversation had shifted to where these technologies were already at work and which problems they were solving. There was evidence everywhere. Exhibitors emphasized AI-supported, production-ready applications that automate workflows and use machine intelligence to anticipate equipment failur
