ModuleWorks reports that ISCAR, a major manufacturer of cutting tools, is adopting the Manufacturing Data Exchange Specification (MDES). Through this adoption, ISCAR plans to make its tooling data available in the open MDES format, enabling CAM software and CNC systems to integrate ISCAR tools and assemblies more efficiently. Meir Noybauer, Business Development Officer at ISCAR says: “Supplying our tooling information in the MDES format makes it easier for CAM systems to provide that data to their users, helping manufacturers reduce programming time and machine complex parts with greater confidence.”
