A2N – The Turbocharger for Manufacturing 3D Sheet Metal Parts and Assemblies

  • Advanced Manufacturing
With this new extended "Assembly to Nesting" (A2N) technology, Lantek introduces a tool that enables sheet metal manufacturers to complete tasks in minutes that previously could take hours. The software can process 3D drawings of individual parts and entire assemblies with multiple components, unfolding them and calculating production requirements.

Automation Software as a Tool to Break Up Shop Bottlenecks

  • Advanced Manufacturing
Since its founding in 1995, OC Fab Ltd. (OCFab) has grown from a small subcontractor to one of Manitoba’s leading fabrication companies for the agriculture industry.

Software for the coexistence of different sheet metal cutting machines at the same plant

  • Advanced Manufacturing
Typically, a second machine tool is added to plants in an attempt to increase production and/or diversify. However, we are also seeing it as a phenomenon aimed at resolving the issue with small series. This occurs when there’s a machine with a large automated production capacity which is expensive to interrupt in order to manufacture small series. To cover this gap and avoid interrupting serial production, many factories use an additional, cheaper machine, without automation but with greater availability.
