This update introduces machine magazine pocket assignments, AI-powered URL data scraping for custom tools, and refined parametric 3D tool modeling.
Machine Tool & Location Management
- Machine Pocket Assignment: Assign tool assemblies directly to specific machine magazine pockets, or workholding setups to machine tables and fixture locations.
- Machine Workspace: Redesigned machine detail pages to prioritize physical tool locations and eliminate redundant specification panels.
Custom Tools & AI Enrichment
- Automated Web Data Retrieval: The custom tool “Refresh Data” engine now automatically queries manufacturer part databases via URL patterns to pull down missing ISO parameters.
- Search with Chuck: Added direct AI natural-language tooling search integration.
3D Modeling Precision
- Model Geometry: Corrected geometric rendering profiles for die-sinking cutters (accurate DCX scaling), V-groove mills (seamless CUT-to-NOCUT blending), and stylus ball cutters.
- Modular Assemblies: Fixed insert indexing alignment when stacking extension adapters onto toolholders.
CAM Export & Feeds & Speeds
- SolidCAM: Added export mapping support for turning cartridges and resolved Freeform assembly export handling.
- hyperMILL: Added native support for collet-type machine-side couplings.
- Multi-F&S Export: Resolved a regression to ensure operations with multiple feeds and speeds definitions export reliably.
Brand Catalogs & Usability
- Iscar: Released updated 2026 workpiece materials and product group classifications.
- NS Tool: Completed catalog data validation for production release.
- Dialog Consistency: Standardized button alignments across all confirmation pop-ups with “Cancel” positioned intuitively on the left.
