Import tool assemblies to CAM | Multi-brand!

4y ago
Order multi-brand tool assemblies; then export job files into your CAM/Simulation software of choice. We work with 20+ software partners and have a custom export option so you can always get your tool data where it’s needed. Let’s get to work! Here’s the deal.  Lugging tool data into your CAM or ERP is a drag — and not of the ‘click-and-drag’ variety. Between workholding, toolholder, and cutting tools/inserts, the number of files can really add up. Even if you do use a vendor-driven tool selector, you are either pigeonholed into that vendor, or in some cases you are still forced to bolt-o ..read more

With COVID-19 hitting the economy hard and quarantine still dragging out in many states and nations, machine shops are taking initiative to stay productively sane.  Courtesy of Giphy @SpiderManMovie As of the writing of this article on April 22 manufacturing had been hit pretty hard. Aerospace alone had suffered numerous order cancellations on top of Boeing’s 737 Max production suspension. The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Manufacturing Index for March was not too bad, but new orders and prices were down by close to 10% each. What’s more, the situation still seems to be bottoming ..read more

CAD/CAM 2020: Slouching and Splicing on the Path to Additive

Unless you are spending $1M on a hybrid additive machine generative design is still somewhere between a curiosity, pastime, and moonshot. But a number of brandname CAD/CAMs are close to/already offering design-to-manufacture solutions that will bring us one big step closer to integrated manufacturing. Giphy Courtesy of Fallontonight  For most machine shops additive has come far, but not nearly far enough. On the one hand, hybrid additive machines are being sold for astronomical amounts, like DMG Mori’s Lasertec 65 3D hybrid (pretty much a supercollider). Then on the other side of the spectrum ..read more

Not long ago aerospace was the principal user of digital twin technology, but in 2020 even small machine shops drive Lean initiatives by assembling digital tool assemblies in the cloud. Image from Giphy Posted by @ge We tend to presume that digital twinning is something that automotive and aerospace manufacturers use to improve their end-use products. But the fact is that digital twins have evolved into much more than the exclusive roles they play at the end of the supply chain.  First: context.  A Brief History of Digital Twin Technology that is Actually Brief Image from Giphy So many great ..read more

Now that the US’ largest aerospace company has stopped production of its biggest selling aircraft altogether, it’s important to evaluate just how big an impact this could have on machinists and the US manufacturing sector. January 29, 2020 This morning new Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun and Chief Financial Officer Greg Smith hosted Boeing’s Q4 2019 conference call. But rather than the usual emphasis on percentage gains or decelerating profits, the call focused on something far graver: the company’s future, the ability for it and its supply chain to remain financially sound despite the grievous injury ..read more
