Software offers multiple modelling techniques
Having all the different modelling techniques in a single package reduces the need to transfer data between multiple programs and so streamlines the whole product development process
CAD software receives press design update
Delcam Toolmaker CAD software's deep-draw press tool design updates shorten design time by providing dedicated functionality for many of the tasks involved in preparing the tooling.
It will also feature presentations from Starrag Heckert, Siemens and Stellram on developments in machine tools, controls and cutting tools, respectively, for aerospace machining.
The workshop will be completed with a look at new machining methods under investigation at UWE within the Revolutionary Aerospace Machining Project (RAMP).
Like all areas of manufacturing, aerospace companies and their subcontractors are under pressure to increase productivity, reduce costs, improve quality and shorten delivery times.
This seminar will concentrate on the improvements that can be made through more efficient machining of components.
Considerable developments have been seen in both the equipment and software available for these operations.
To maintain their competitiveness, companies must ensure that they are using the latest techniques.
However, experience has shown that there is much more to improving productivity than simply investing in new, faster equipment.
Companies must review their whole process, in particular the programming and machining strategies being used, as well as the machine tools and cutting tools being employed, if they wish to gain the full benefit of any investment.
"Many companies have been disappointed in the results obtained from investments in high-speed or five-axis machine tools", claimed Delcam's Chris Whittington.
"In most cases, this is because they have only changed their equipment and overlooked the need for more fundamental alterations to their machining methods.
By presenting all aspects of the newer machining techniques at this workshop, we will give companies that attend a much more complete understanding of the steps they need to take to maximise the returns from modern equipment". Request a free brochure from Delcam ...
