Mazak to demonstrate live laser cutting at Fabtech 2005

Hey there,

If you're going to the Fabtech 2005 show in November, here's something you might want to check out: Mazak Optronics is rolling out its Mazak FG Cad/Cam software in live presentations . They're calling it a real time software theater. FG CAD/CAM is used for multi-axis fabrication on Mazak's FabriGear and Space Gear lasers. If you're really into high end fabrication, you can control the cuts and save the ones you use most often, or even create NC programs on a computer and increase laser efficiency. The software can perform cutting simulations on the PC, so pre-cut interference checks can be run without tying the laser up.

Really cool: you'll be able program a pipe part then see it cut right there on a 3D rotary laser. The company will be at Booth #11024. Check Mazak's website for details.

Fabtech International & AWS Welding Show combined into the largest event in the world for metal forming, fabricating, tube, pipe, and welding equipment and technology. You have to catch it at McCormick Place South in Chicago, November 13-16, 2005.
