IT firm MecSoft Europe has entered into a partnership with Sibe Automation to provide programming and machining solution.
VisualMILL, bundled with Sibe’s CNC routers, provides an elegant and powerful solution for the vacuum forming industry, MecSoft Europe, a leader in Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software, said in a statement.
When used with Sibe’s CNC routes, VisualMILL provides users with the ability to quickly and efficiently create three-dimensional vacuum tools in non-ferrous materials.
“Sibe Automation is thrilled to offer our customers a CAM solution that is so easy to use and intergates so well with our CNC solutions,” the Sibe Automation President, Mr Simon Gaysinsky, said.
Sibe Automation designs and builds a wide range of vacuum forming machines as well as CNC Routers and Roller die cutters.
Vacuum forming, commonly known by people as vacuuforming, is a simplified version of thermoforming, whereby a sheet of plastic is heated to a forming temperature, stretched onto or into a single—surface mold (BrE, mould) and held against the mold by applying a vacuum between the mold surface and the sheet.
The vacuum forming process can be used to make most product packaging, speaker casings and even car dashboards.
