Misfits of Manufacturing — From Screen to Machine, August 25-26 in Regensburg

 



August 25-26, 2026
CyberCraft Lab, OTH Regensburg, Germany

Many manufacturing challenges have already been solved elsewhere; they just go by a different name in another industry. Misfits of Manufacturing brings together engineers, designers, fabricators, software developers, and digital manufacturing specialists who use Rhino and Grasshopper to connect design, automation, and production. The event focuses on workflows that bridge the gap between geometry and the shop floor by integrating Rhino with legacy CAD systems, CNC machines, industrial robots, laser cutters, ERP platforms, PDM systems, and custom software solutions. Cross-industry innovation rarely happens by accident. This two-day event is designed to foster knowledge exchange between professionals facing similar challenges across different sectors.

Day 1: Show & Tell
  • Presentations and case studies exploring: Digital manufacturing workflows
  • CAD/CAM integration
  • Automation and custom tooling
  • Lessons learned from real-world production environments
  • Current challenges and unsolved problems
The day concludes with an informal BBQ and networking session.

Day 2: Workshops & Hackathon
  • Hands-on sessions focused on: Robotics and automated fabrication
  • AI integration in manufacturing workflows
  • Rhino Compute and custom user interfaces
  • Collaborative problem-solving across industries
This is a practitioner-focused event with no exhibition booths, sales pitches, or vendor presentations—just people sharing experience, ideas, and solutions.

A limited number of presentation slots are still available.

RhinoCAM 2026 released


RhinoCAM is a powerful CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) plugin built specifically for Rhino, designed to help CNC programmers, machinists, and engineers generate accurate toolpaths directly within their Rhino workflow. 

RhinoCAM 2026 brings some significant "under the hood" speed boosts and new high-end machining modules. The big theme for this year is performance acceleration (especially for simulation) and automation for complex 5-axis work.

It supports 2 Axis to 5 Axis toolpath creation (2½, 3, 4, and 5-axis), simulation, and post-processing, all inside Rhino’s modeling environment.
  • Fully integrated with Rhino (Windows only)
  • CAM engine powered by VisualCAM
  • Ideal for professionals working on complex 3D parts and freeform geometry
RhinoCAM includes modules for MILL, TURN, NEST and ART.

New release for BobCAM for Rhino

 


Version 2 of BobCAM for Rhino is now available to download. With the release of V2, their new 5-axis premium module is now available for all BobCAD-CAM’s product families.  

New toolpath technology and workflow reduces programming time and simplifies processes while expanding machining capabilities—the ultimate toolpath bundle for job shop manufacturers programming 3, 4, or 5-axis CNC machines.

“I am so excited for users to their hands-on BobCAD-CAM’s new products. Every customer will find enhancements and new features to get their NC programs to the machine faster and easier! There was a lot of focus on the usability, all the way up to new cutting strategies for shops who are pushing machines to their limits.” Greg Myers, Director, R&D, BobCAD-CAM, Inc., developer of BobCAM for Rhino.

New efficiency and improvements:
  • Deburring. Automatically create toolpath to trim complex edges or apply chamfers/fillets to part feature edges when posting in 3, 4, or 5-axis.
  • Probing. Simplify and automate the process of programming, simulating, and posting CNC probing cycles.
  • Auto 3+2 Roughing. Index roughing for 5-axis using automatic, semi-automatic, or manual direction of approach.
  • 3-5 Axis Conversion. Apply automatic 5-axis tilting for 3-axis tool paths.
  • Turn Mill. Faster material removal for Mills and Mill-Turn Machines where both the stock and tool spin to increasing surface speed. Machine part profiles result in less chip consideration and faster cycle times.
  • Multiaxis Machining. New finishing strategies added to what was previously called Multiaxis Roughing.  Now users can choose from roughing and finishing options with specific tool paths for wall and floor finishing.
  • Multiblade. New advanced optimized operations for 5-axis machining of impellers and blisks.   Specific operations to rough and finish blades, hubs, and fillets.
  • Port Machining. New advanced optimized operations specific for CNC port machining require minimal user input.
BobCAM for Rhino works on Rhino 6 or greater. It is localized in eight language packs: English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Czech, Italian, and Portuguese.
