ModuleWorks 2025.08 Released for Digital Factory, Manufacturing

AACHEN, Germany, Sep 1, 2025 – ModuleWorks announces the 2025.08 release of its software components for digital manufacturing and digital factory. With a focus on utilizing integrated information, this latest release of the ModuleWorks SDK comes with automated features designed to enhance process safety, toolpath generation efficiency and part quality.

SmartRoughing

Setting the right parameters for roughing often relies on programmer experience to balance material removal, tool wear and machine stability, which can result in conservative choices, longer cycle times and inconsistent results.

With SmartRoughing, ModuleWorks introduces a physics-driven toolpath algorithm that removes the guesswork. By using information on the machine’s capabilities, tool geometry and material properties, SmartRoughing automatically generates toolpaths with constant engagement and optimized chip load. This enables programmers and machine shops to achieve faster machining, longer tool life and more consistent quality while making roughing processes accessible to less experienced users. 

3-Axis - SmartRoughing

FeedControl

Ensuring consistent chip formation is one of machining’s toughest challenges, with heat, tool load, spindle deflection and material hardening making the process unpredictable and difficult to control.

ModuleWorks 2025.08 introduces FeedControl, an intelligent feed rate optimization technology that balances chip thickness, cutting forces and spindle loads in real time. By adapting to machine-tool capabilities, tool geometry and material behaviour, FeedControl is designed to ensure process stability, protect tools and deliver consistent results.  

FeedControl - Introducing FeedControl

High Dynamic Turning

In conventional turning, machining contours requires multiple tools, leading to higher tooling costs and longer cycle times due to frequent tool changes. In addition, traditional turning does not accommodate toolpaths in the Y‑Z plane, restricting process flexibility and efficiency.

The new ModuleWorks 2025.08 turning feature in combination with the FreeTurn tool removes these limitations. A single tool can now machine all contours of a workpiece in one operation, while toolpaths are created directly in the Y‑Z plane. This significantly reduces cycle times through fewer air cuts and tool changes and enables faster feed rates for more efficient machining.

Deburring – Exclude Holes and Vertical Edges

In conventional workflows, deburring holes often requires multiple passes with a spot drill with no option to exclude smaller holes. At the same time, in 3‑axis setups vertical edges cannot be filtered out, leading to additional rework.

To solve this, ModuleWorks 2025.08 introduces a new deburring enhancement that allows users to filter out holes by diameter and exclude vertical edges directly within the toolpath calculation. This gives programmers greater control, reduces redundant work and ensures deburring strategies match the exact requirements of the cutting process.

Deburring - Exclude Holes and Vertical Edges

Cutting Simulation – Pixel-Perfect GPU Renderer

Standard rendering modes often fall short in delivering the visual fidelity required for high-precision machining and fine-detail inspection. Inaccurate or blurry representations of the stock state can make reliable part inspection and deviation analysis difficult.

ModuleWorks 2025.08 addresses this issue with a new GPU-accelerated rendering feature that generates pixel-perfect visuals whenever the camera is idle. It gives machinists and inspectors a highly detailed and accurate view of the current stock, making it easier to spot deviations and verify machining results with confidence. The sharp inspection visuals lead to trustworthy analyses, enhancing quality control and supporting high-precision requirements in modern manufacturing environments.

Availability

ModuleWorks 2025.08 is available for download from the ModuleWorks website.

For more details about these and the other new features and enhancements in the ModuleWorks 2025.08 release, please see the ModuleWorks What’s New webpage.

EON Reality Launches EON Accredit to Automate Accreditation Reporting with AI, XR Technology

IRVINE, CA, USA, Aug 28, 2025 – EON Reality, the world leader in AI-assisted Virtual and Augmented Reality-based knowledge transfer for industry and education, today announced the launch of EON Accredit, a groundbreaking platform designed to solve the chronic inefficiency and stress of institutional accreditation. For years, educational and training organizations have been trapped on an “accreditation treadmill,” manually compiling mountains of retrospective evidence. EON Accredit changes this paradigm by leveraging AI-driven data capture within immersive XR environments to provide automated, real-time, and audit-ready proof of learning outcomes, ensuring institutions are always prepared for review. 

As detailed in its new white paper, “EON Accredit™: Ending the Accreditation Nightmare—How EON Accredit Automates Evidence and Restores Faculty Time,” the platform not only streamlines compliance but also returns invaluable time back to faculty, allowing them to focus on teaching and innovation rather than paperwork.

The Crisis: The Accreditation Treadmill

Accreditation is essential for institutional credibility, but the process is notoriously painful. The “old way” forces administrators and faculty into a frantic, last-minute scramble to gather disparate pieces of evidence—from syllabi and test scores to anecdotal reports—to prove they meet complex standards. This retrospective approach is inefficient, subjective, and creates immense administrative strain, diverting valuable resources away from teaching and learning.

EON Accredit™ ends this cycle by making evidence collection an automatic byproduct of the learning process itself.

The Solution: Introducing EON Accredit

EON Accredit™ is an integrated system that automatically captures, analyzes, and visualizes performance data from students and employees as they engage in XR-based learning and training modules. The platform maps this objective data directly to specific accreditation standards, providing a live, verifiable record of institutional effectiveness.

  • Automated Data Capture: Every action, decision, and demonstrated skill within an XR module is logged and time-stamped, creating a rich, objective dataset.
  • Real-time Reporting Dashboards: Administrators can instantly view progress against any accreditation standard, identify areas of excellence or deficiency, and drill down into individual or cohort performance.
  • Audit-Ready Reports: With the click of a button, generate comprehensive, evidence-based reports formatted to meet the requirements of major accrediting bodies, eliminating hundreds of hours of manual work.

Under the Hood: The Technology Driving Automated Reporting

At the core of EON Accredit™ is the seamless integration of EON’s immersive XR platform with a powerful AI analytics engine. As learners interact with virtual equipment or navigate complex scenarios, the system captures thousands of data points that serve as irrefutable evidence of competence.

  • AI Analytics Engine: Automatically maps performance data to predefined accreditation standards and competencies.
  • EON XR Content Libraries: Provides a vast array of customizable modules across industries, from healthcare and aviation to technical skills, ready for data capture.

Implementation and ROI: The Business Case for Accreditation Automation

EON Accredit™ delivers a powerful return on investment by drastically reducing the administrative hours required for accreditation preparation. More importantly, it mitigates the significant financial and reputational risk of a failed audit. By providing a clear, continuous view of performance, institutions can proactively address gaps and foster a culture of continuous improvement, leading to better outcomes for both the institution and its learners.
