Aerospace seminar

CADCAM developer Delcam is to host a free seminar on developments in aerospace machining at the new Dormer Tools building on the Advanced Manufacturing Park in Sheffield on 26 March. As well as Delcam and Dormer, presentations on recent innovations will be included from DMG, Renishaw, Sandvik 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 will be covered in this free seminar. Together, the presentations will show how suppliers to the aerospace industry can achieve higher productivity, better quality and faster delivery. The presentations will be followed by a tour of the site, featuring machining demonstrations on DMG equipment.
