StyroCut: Important technical novelties and special offer<br />
For StyroCut there is not only a new manual<br />
available, but also essential improvements have<br />
been realized. On the one hand the cutting wire now<br />
is led through a metal clamp pad on the table<br />
whereby working gets more simple and is easy to<br />
the table. On the other hand a socket for the manual<br />
device is assigned, which simplifies its use. StyroCut<br />
is supplied in improved version by now.<br />
Further information concerning StyroCut can be<br />
found online at: www.thecooltool.com.<br />
As consignee of our newsletter<br />
you have the opportunity to<br />
order the new StyroCut for only<br />
89,- Euro. Prices are valid until<br />

Unimat1, UniTurn and UniMill: technical training<br />
instrument range<br />
Universiti Teknologi MARA decided to<br />
equip their workshops at campus<br />
Kedah with StyroCut, Unimat1,<br />
UniTurn and UniMill. <strong>The</strong> co-workers of<br />
the institution had been instructed in<br />
situ by our chief-engineer, Mr. Ing.<br />
Alexander Pasicznyk, and the<br />
machines had been given their final<br />
rub. <strong>The</strong> entire machine park is now at<br />
the student’s disposal. In the beginning<br />
a solid basic knowledge can be earned<br />
on the Unimat1 machines. Larger<br />
workpieces and materials like steel can<br />
be worked with the mills and lathes<br />
UniMill and UniTurn. In Universiti<br />
Teknologi MARA we found a very<br />
interesting and ambitious partner. We<br />
are already looking forward to<br />
equipping the machines for CNCcontrol<br />
in a further step.<br />

StepFour Precise 1000KU<br />
<strong>The</strong> Precise range now has a new, larger<br />
member in the family, the Precise 1000 with a<br />
working range of 1015 x 600 mm and a Z axis<br />
with 160 mm lifting height.<br />
This machine is designed for industrial users<br />
who often have to produce large parts. To meet<br />
especially high requirements, as an option we<br />
plan to produce this machine with supported<br />
guides and circulating ball spindle.<br />
We will be happy to send you an offer that<br />
exactly fits your needs (software, router, …)
DeskProto 4 – New Version and Price Cut<br />
In early February Delft Spline Systems announced the 1000th user of its DeskProto CAM<br />
software for Rapid Prototyping.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> production cost of software is almost independent of the number of licenses sold, so<br />
a higher sales volume makes lower prices possible. <strong>The</strong> milestone of selling the 1000th<br />
license is a very good occasion to announce new, lower prices for DeskProto."<br />
What’s new<br />
• <strong>The</strong> N-Sided Milling Wizard, which enables rotation axis users to machine a part<br />
from several (N) sides, making it possible to cut very complex parts without undercuts.<br />
• High on the user's wish list was the Waterline strategy, with tool paths on constant<br />
Z-level.<br />
• Second new strategy is the Contour-only strategy, which is useful both for roughing<br />
(machining the block to size first) and for finishing (contour at higher precision).<br />
• Also new is the Spiral strategy, where the top view is a real spiral.<br />
• Simple 2D Machining has been implemented, using a new 2D Operation. This allows<br />
you to import a 2D DXF file, enter Z-levels for "pen-up" and "pen-down" and machine<br />
the lines in the file.<br />
• Optionally you can even project the 2D contours on the 3D geometry.<br />
• DeskProto now can show a Machining Simulation: a rendering on screen of the part<br />
to be machined. <strong>The</strong> simulation shows where the cutter cannot reach (rest material),<br />
how smooth the surface will be, and eventually also where too much material will be<br />
removed.<br />

50 years International Treaty<br />
This year Austria has a special anniversary. 50<br />
years ago the International Treaty was signed<br />
to restore an independent and democratic<br />
Austria.<br />
On May 15 th 1955 Leopold Figl, Foreign<br />
Minister of that period (and former Federal<br />
Chancellor), presented the just signed<br />
International Treaty on the balcony of Castle<br />
Belvedere. A short time ago at signing the<br />
treaty he had spoken the legendary words<br />
“Austria is free!”…<br />
<strong>The</strong> document was a treaty between Austria<br />
and the victor nations of WW II, France, Great<br />
Britain, USA and USSR. With this treaty the<br />
small country in the heart of Europe got back<br />
its sovereignty. 1938 Austria became part of<br />
the German Empire. As this it took part in the<br />
World war. Since April 27 th 1945 the country<br />
was independent again, but occupied by<br />
France, Great Britain, USA and USSR.<br />
<strong>The</strong> common patrolling representatives of the<br />
occupying powers, called “<strong>The</strong> four in the<br />
Jeep”, formed the street life of the devastated<br />
Danubian metropolis.<br />
