ModuleWorks reports that CADCAM vendor Autodesk and machine tool builder DN Solutions (formally Doosan Machine Tools) are adopting the recently released Manufacturing Data Exchange Specification (MDES). ModuleWorks introduced MDES as an open specification for exchanging digital representations of manufacturing equipment between various hardware and software systems across multiple process steps. This covers tool components, assemblies, fixtures, stocks, set-ups and their mounting in machine tools.
Autodesk and DN Solutions are among the first companies to adopt MDES.
