CloudNC has expanded the availability of its AI-powered CAM Assist technology with a new integration for GibbsCAM. The add-on automatically generates machining strategies for 3-axis and 3+2-axis CNC operations, helping manufacturers reduce repetitive programming work while keeping programmers in control of machining decisions. GibbsCAM users also gain access to CAM Assist 2.0 and its Strategy Editor for reviewing and adjusting AI-generated strategies before toolpaths are transferred into the CAM environment.

Vericut 9.7 introduces faster CNC simulation, expanded AI guidance and improved workflows for complex manufacturing operations. The release helps manufacturers verify NC programs more efficiently while maintaining machine-level accuracy. Icam Post V27 also adds AI support, automated regression testing and enhanced post-processor development tools.

Siemens and ModuleWorks have expanded their manufacturing software partnership by introducing advanced roughing, turning, feed-rate optimization and manufacturing-data tools as plugins for Siemens NX CAM. The integration is designed to reduce machining cycle times, extend tool life, simplify CAM programming and improve the flow of production data across connected manufacturing environments.

Mastercam has completed its acquisition of Mastercam India, integrating the regional organization into its global operations. The move is expected to expand technical expertise, improve collaboration, and provide Indian manufacturers with broader access to Mastercam’s CAD/CAM technologies and international resources.

Siemens has expanded its NX X Manufacturing portfolio with a new CAM-only product line designed for manufacturers that need advanced machining capabilities without bundled design tools. The new cloud-delivered offering keeps the deployment, scalability, and modular licensing benefits of NX X Manufacturing while giving production-focused companies a more targeted option.

Mastercam underscores the strategic importance of its Everpath technology, positioning it as a foundational system that enhances precision, efficiency, and reliability in modern CNC machining workflows.

Built for an AI-first CAM workflow, AI Superagent works in ENCY like a CAM programmer — from 3D model analysis to project updates and autonomous execution.

WORKNC 2026.1 brings a series of practical enhancements aimed at improving mold and die machining productivity. The release adds machine-aware multi-directional rest roughing, a new 5-axis dynamic contact finishing strategy for circle-segment tools, upgraded curve profiling, support for cloud-based tool libraries, a refined ribbon interface, and a redesigned toolpath dialog with integrated multilingual help.

GO2cam has introduced its 2026 production software, delivering a redesigned CAM environment that enhances automation, precision, and productivity across milling, turning, and EDM operations.

HCLSoftware, a global leader and the enterprise software division of HCLTech, announces the release of Swiss Machining functionality in CAMWorks 2026, delivering advanced automation and precision forSwiss-style CNC machines.
