Young talent and innovation at Cadcamatic: a thesis with real impact

At Cadcamatic, we strongly believe in supporting young talent and offering real opportunities for learning and growth. That’s why we’re especially proud of our successful collaboration with Ruben Mees, a student at VIVES University of Applied Sciences, who completed his bachelor’s thesis with us — with outstanding results.

Innovation in action: integrating a C-axis into a CNC lathe

Between February and June, Ruben worked on an exciting and innovative project: the integration of a C-axis into an existing CNC lathe. After a thorough analysis, the Siemens SINUMERIK ONE was selected as the control system. Using Create MyVirtual Machine software, he developed a digital twin of the lathe and ran extensive simulations. Based on these results, a working prototype was built to validate the concept.

A win for both student and company

This bachelor’s thesis not only resulted in a strong academic report, but also brought tangible value to Cadcamatic. The project enriched our expertise in digital twin technology and advanced machine control — key insights for our future innovations.

We sincerely thank Ruben for his dedication, professionalism, and fresh perspective, and we wish him every success in his career ahead.

At Cadcamatic, we continue to invest in collaboration, innovation and the support of young talent — because that’s how we shape the future of our industry.
