Some shops have rows upon rows of machines, while smaller shops may have one CNC mill, one CNC lathe and a couple bridgeports sitting in the corner. So we wanted to make life a little easier for our customers and machinists in genera.   ![3D Import ](https://blog.hurco.com/hubfs/3d%20solid%20model%20import%20hurco%20cnc%20control.jpg) [5-Axis Machining](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/5-axis-machining) [CNC Control & Software](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/cnc-control-software) [Hurco](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/hurco) [conversational cnc control](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/conversational-cnc-control) [conversational programming](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/conversational-programming) Derek Korn of [Modern Machine Shop ](https://www.mmsonline.com/)recently wrote an article on Hurco's new feature 3D Solid Model Import, this feature allows a 3D solid model to be imported into the [CNC control](https://www.hurco.com/en-us/products/Pages/WinMax-our-cnc-control.aspx) and the operator can perform conversational-type programming even for five sided machining applications.  ![John Force Inducted Into Press Association Hall of Fame](https://blog.hurco.com/hubfs/1234.jpg) [racing](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/racing) [indy](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/indy) [Hurco](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/hurco) [NHRA](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/nhra) ![Industrial Automation: Hurco & BMO Automation](https://blog.hurco.com/hubfs/Industrial%20Automation%20-%20Hurco%20and%20BMO%20Automation.jpg) [Automation](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/automation) [Hurco](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/hurco) [cnc mill](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/cnc-mill) [cnc lathe](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/cnc-lathe) [bmo automation](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/bmo-automation) [machine tending](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/machine-tending) [industrial automation](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/industrial-automation) Hurco continues to partner with companies like [BMO Automation ](https://www.bmoautomation.nl/en/)because we know that today's modern machine shop needs turn-key solutions to help fight the skills gap. Many of the protocols, technologies, industry standards, etc... that comprise modern manufacturing technology were quickly adopted and developed in Europe because they simply don’t have enough people to fill manufacturing positions. The same skills gap that prompted Europe to quickly develop and adopt these automation technologies is starting to appear in machine shops in the United States as well. ![RINUS VEEKAY SELECTED BY ED CARPENTER RACING](https://blog.hurco.com/hubfs/ecr.png) [racing](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/racing) [indycar](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/indycar) [Hurco](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/hurco) [Ed Carpenter](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/ed-carpenter) [rinus veekay](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/rinus-veekay) ****** ![AUSTIN PROCK NAMED 2019 AUTO CLUB ROAD TO THE FUTURE AWARD WINNER](https://blog.hurco.com/hubfs/austin%20prock11.jpg) [racing](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/racing) [Hurco](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/hurco) [NHRA](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/nhra) [John Force](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/john-force) [austin prock](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/austin-prock) ****** ![ROBERT HIGHT AND AUTO CLUB CLINCH THIRD NHRA FUNNY CAR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP](https://blog.hurco.com/hubfs/2.png) [racing](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/racing) [Hurco](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/hurco) [NHRA](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/nhra) [Robert Hight](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/robert-hight) ****** [Prototype Machining](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/prototype-machining) [Education](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/education) [cnc machining](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/cnc-machining) We would like to thank [MTD CNC ](https://www.mtdcnc.com/)for allowing us to share this video they made recently at Bournemouth University of Arts. Bournemouth recently opened their doors to MTD CNC, having purchased new Hurco CNC machines, the investment was part of a program to support local manufacturing, as Paul found out. Hurco is proud to work with educational institutions to help provide the necessary training to a younger generation of CNC Machinists who will help today's modern CNC machine shop become more productive. ![JOHN FORCE RACING TEAMS IMPROVE CHAMPIONSHIP ODDS](https://blog.hurco.com/hubfs/2.png) [racing](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/racing) [Hurco](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/hurco) [NHRA](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/nhra) [John Force Racing](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/topic/john-force-racing) ****** [ Prev ](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/page/6) [5](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/page/5) [6](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/page/6) [7](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/page/7) [8](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/page/8) [9](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/page/9) [ Next ](https://blog.hurco.com/backstage-pass/page/8) ### Subscribe to the Machinists Blog Copyright © 2026, Hurco Companies, Inc. ![](https://secure.pass8heal.com/222100.png)
