Dear CNCzone member (Member),

2023 has begun, and what better way to start the new year than with the latest news on developments in the manufacturing sector?

Happy New Year

There are some very exciting trade fairs coming up this year in the USA and other places in the world. For friends of visual content we have of course again a nice selection of CNC videos. And as always in January, we would like to take a look at the most viewed threads and most active posters in our forums in 2022.

We hope you enjoy browsing through our newsletter and wish you a good start into 2023.

But Fabtech will also be held again in Chicago in September. And one week later the world's leading trade fair for production technology will be held in Hanover/Germany: EMO 2023 from 18-23 September at which the IndustryArena will also be present.
