Hexagon Acquires SPRING Technologies



Hexagon AB has acquired SPRING Technologies, a software provider specializing in integrated solutions for optimizing the machining workflow through machine tool simulation, toolpath verification and optimization and machine tool management. Its solutions are in use at OEMs and suppliers worldwide, helping streamline the manufacturing process through the optimization of machine tool performance and productivity.

"SPRING Technologies has been pioneering innovative computer numerical control (CNC) solutions for machine tools for over 30 years," said a company spokesperson. "Its flagship portfolio, NCSIMUL, is a comprehensive suite of integrated solutions providing native CNC code programming, CNC simulation, cutting and tool libraries, CNC program management, real-time machine monitoring and technical content publication. Together, they enable complete mastery of the machining process across a variety of manufacturing sectors including aerospace, automotive, medical, energy and transportation."

"I am really happy to join the Hexagon team, with whom we share the same Industry 4.0 vision," said Gilles Battier, CEO and owner of SPRING Technologies. "This is great news for all our customers, who will continue to use their usual CAM solutions, whatever they are, and for all our partners who have trusted us in distributing our solutions around the world. In addition, we will be stronger and continue to support them around the world with a broader portfolio of solutions. I am also very proud and enthusiastic for my team. This acquisition, by one of the leaders in digital technologies, confirms that NCSIMUL is really the most innovative solution to help all manufacturers to improve their overall equipment effectiveness with our global anti-collision, cycle time reduction and monitoring capabilities, regardless of their machining complexity and end market. We will keep on developing robust, efficient and simple solutions for intelligent CNC machining."

"Manufacturing must be `smart' if it is to produce the next generation of products at reduced costs. The acquisition of SPRING Technologies further strengthens our Autonomous Connected Ecosystem (ACE) strategy, which will ultimately enable the smart factory," said Ola Rollén, Hexagon President and CEO. "Machining simulation is essential to connecting the physical world with the digital and achieving autonomy-both of which are prerequisites to delivering smart factory solutions."
