AMRC Tooling Clinic at MACH 2022

Debuting at the MACH show this year will be a special Tooling Clinic run by the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC).

The Tooling Clinic will enable visitors to identify the solutions right for them through open discussion of the manufacturing challenges within their tooling applications, cutting strategies, parameter optimisation, virtual machining and other high value manufacturing methodologies and technologies.

AMRC engineers will draw on their experience and expertise, provide presentations on key discussion areas and signpost visitors to the technology exhibitors who can best address their requirements.

Discussion topics include: Process costing and parameter optimisation/Virtual machining for CAM iteration and process optimisation / Cutting strategy for thin parts / Aluminium, titanium and Inconel best practice / Down selection of tooling geometry using virtual machining/ Use of non-traditional substrates/ Solutions for aerofoil components – blades, blisks and impellers/ Focused support for SMEs/ Tool holding technologies /Micro machining/ Machine tool dynamics/ Other relevant topics.

Visitors can make an appointment to the clinic in advance, highlighting their specific challenges or identifying options from the list of discussion topics.
