Roughing is where most shops lose time and geometry-only strategies can't keep up with modern high-performance machines.

Marcelo's latest blog post breaks down how SmartRoughing changes the game. By combining real machining physics with Kennametal's lab-validated tool data, it intelligently adjusts cutting conditions layer by layer, reducing cycle times by 20–61% without risking tool life or spindle damage.

MIC 2026 was about more than presentations. It was about dialogue.

At this year’s ModuleWorks Insider Conference, we brought together CAM vendors, cutting tool vendors, machine tool builders, control makers and other key players from across the manufacturing industry.

In this short reflection, ModuleWorks' CEO & Founder Dr. Yavuz Murtezaoglu and CTO Dr. David Plater share their impressions of the event, from the positive atmosphere and open exchange to the discussions around data, digitalization, MDES and AI.

One key message stood out clearly: AI in manufacturing needs more than ambition. It needs consistent, standardized and reliable data.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at MIC 2026 and helped continue the dialogue around the future of manufacturing!

This Walkthrough video of SmartRoughing Plugin in Autodesk Fusion, we are demonstrating how intelligent algorithms automatically adapt stepover, stepdown, feed rate, and spindle speed in real time. The result is a consistent optimization of cutting forces, chip load, and material removal rate, without manual tuning.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀:

• Achieves an optimal balance between high material removal rates and controlled cutting forces to enhance tool life.
• Transforms beginner programmers into confident roughing experts.
• Increases throughput, especially for hard materials and complex 3D geometries.
• Scales efficiently for high-volume production environments.

If you are looking to push machining efficiency while maintaining process stability, this is worth a watch.

Last week, a group of ModuleWorkers joined the TeamWalk Tour Aachen by BIG direkt gesund.

In true Aachen style, the weather couldn’t quite decide between rain and sunshine, but the roughly 9 km route took us mostly through nature, giving us a chance to step away from the usual work routine, talk, walk, and enjoy time together as a team.

A highlight was starting and finishing inside the Tivoli football stadium, it gave the whole event a proper “big event” feeling. And of course, the snacks along the way helped too, especially the infamous local .

Many thanks to for the great organization, the well-planned route, and the positive atmosphere throughout the event. We really enjoyed being part of it and are already looking forward to the next one!
