Photo Credit: Getty Images Most companies that use CNC use CAM systems to create G-code programs that run on their CNC machines. This provides countless advantages over preparing them manually. That said, most CAM systems deal only with the primary goal of creating a workable program that will machine acceptable workpieces. But the way a G-code program is formatted directly affects the productivity of CNC people who use them.

Over the past decade, companies have embraced innovation with enthusiasm—Chief Innovation Officers have been hired, and in-house incubators, accelerators, and co-creation labs have been launched. CEOs have spoken with passion about “making everyone an innovator” and the need “to disrupt our own business.” But after years of experimentation, senior leaders are asking: Is this still just an experiment, or are we in it for the long haul?
Many of the materials commonly thrown in household recycling bins, including flexible films, multilayer materials and a lot of coloured plastics, cannot be recycled using conventional methods. And only about 9 per cent of plastic in the US is ever reused, often in low-value products. But a team at the University of Wisconsin–Madison believes that its new technique can turn low-value waste plastic into high-value products while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by roughly 60 per cent.
