01.08.2024 – Company Visit to the SCM Group

Last week, we visited the SCM Group together with researchers from the ICD and IfW and were shown the Italian company's wide range of woodworking machines. In the showroom and training center of the German subsidiary in Nürtingen, a cross-section of the product range is available for viewing: from small circular table saws to CNC machining centers. At the end of the tour, we were presented with a small wooden cup that was milled before our eyes - at an impressive speed.
