SUMMARY:The Cutlers' Edge: Smarter CAM\, Sharper Machining
DESCRIPTION:Join this panel discussion for practical insights into improving machining performance through smarter CAM.\n\n\n\n\nWe are bringing together leading machining OEMs\, CAM specialists\, and aerospace manufacturing experts at an exclusive industry event at the iconic Sheffield Cutlers’ Hall to explore a critical question facing manufacturers today: Are manufacturers making the most of their machining? \nMany manufacturers invest heavily in advanced CAM systems but only use a fraction of their full capability\, often relying on default toolpaths\, legacy programming methods\, and basic machining strategies while overlooking powerful features such as toolpath optimization\, feed rate control\, machine simulation\, adaptive milling\, and automation tools. \nThe result? Extended lead times and increased waste due to problems related to the physics of the machining process\, including poor surface finish\, excessive tool wear and breakages. \nBy utilising the advanced capabilities already available within their CAM environment\, manufacturers can achieve significant gains in productivity\, machining stability\, tool life\, surface quality\, and overall process reliability without changing machines\, tooling\, or materials. \nThis live two-hour session combines a real-world case study machined in Rotherham with an expert panel discussion to provide practical insights into improving machining performance\, eliminating problems and unlocking hidden manufacturing capacity through smarter CAM. \n\n\n\n\nLive Case Study Presentation\nProductive Machines will showcase how chatter vibration was completely eliminated and surface quality improved using SenseNC\, a Mastercam plugin for toolpath optimisation. \nThe study compares original vs. optimised toolpaths\, with parts machined on a DMG Mori machine using Sandvik tooling and Mastercam-generated toolpaths. \nYou’ll see real-world machined parts before and after optimisation\, demonstrating how manufacturers successfully improved machining stability and achieved up to 50% improvements in surface quality. \n\n\n\n\nExpert Panel Discussion\nHear directly from industry leaders as they discuss: \n\nCommon machining challenges faced by manufacturers\nEliminating physics-based problems through smarter CAM strategies\nPractical ways to improve productivity without disrupting existing workflows\nReducing trial-and-error on machine tools\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nHow to eliminate chatter vibration before machining starts\nA practical approach to optimising feeds and speeds across full toolpaths\nHow to improve surface quality while reducing tool wear\nStrategies to increase throughput and machine utilisation\nHow to unlock hidden productivity using the CAM software you already own\n\n\n\n\n\n🎤 Panelists\n\nModerator: Professor Keith Jackson — The Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire\nMatt Coulson — Territory Manager for UK & Ireland\, Mastercam\nPaul Bell — Senior Program Manager\, Northwest Aerospace Alliance (NWAA)\nDr Erdem Ozturk — Founder & CEO\, Productive Machines\n\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend?\nThis event is designed for machining professionals looking to improve machining performance and maximise the value of their machining assets\, including: \n\nManufacturing Engineers focused on machining efficiency and process stability\nCAM Programmers tired of manual tuning and repeated trial & error on machine tools\nAerospace and precision manufacturers seeking smarter machining strategies to improve part quality\nProduction & Operations Managers under pressure to increase throughput\, reduce costs\, and increase production capacity\nApplication Engineers looking to deliver greater customer performance
