Delcam to hold aerospace seminar at Dormer Tools
Article Type: News and views From: Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology: An International Journal, Volume 81, Issue 4
CADCAM developer Delcam recently hosted a free seminar on Developments in Aerospace Machining at the new Dormer Tools building on the Advanced Manufacturing Park in Sheffield, UK. As well as presentations from Delcam and Dormer, there were also presentations on recent innovations from DMG, Renishaw, Sandvik Coromant and System 3R.
The aerospace industry has always demanded the highest levels of quality and consistency from its suppliers. In the current economic environment, the added requirements for more cost-effective production and shorter lead times have become even more important. To meet these demands, suppliers must ensure that their machining operations are operating as efficiently as possible.
Machining technology has progressed faster than ever over recent years. Developments in machine tools have been accompanied by improvements in all the related equipment, including more sophisticated programming software, cutting tools that can operate as speeds that would have been unthinkable, and faster and more flexible inspection methods.
All of these developments were covered in this free seminar. Together, the presentations showing how suppliers to the aerospace industry can achieve higher productivity, better quality and faster delivery. The presentations were followed by a tour of the site, featuring machining demonstrations on DMG equipment.
