For most turbomachinery engineers, optimization isn’t a new idea. It’s a critical part of their workflow that can’t be overlooked. But sometimes that crucial step isn’t easy to get to.
Even programmers with years of turbomachinery experience run into toolpath problems. Not because they lack the knowledge, but because the complexity of these components makes certain issues genuinely...
Most of the challenge in turbomachinery manufacturing doesn’t come from a single limitation; it comes from many small ones adding up.
Design engineers are always looking for ways to push performance and efficiency. This can produce geometry which is challenging to machine and one of the first questions the manufacturing team needs...
As engineers planning and designing with CAD/CAM tools,we are developing processes in a theoretical world. It isn’t until you put on your boots, get in front of the machine, and start lettingchips fly
Turbopumps pose many challenges when trying to manufacture high quality CNC toolpaths. They are often made of difficult to machine materials such as Inconel, have sharp leading edges, demanding...
Mixed flow impellers can be challenging, often requiring multiple set-ups due to the ~45° exit angle. Check out how we utilized multiple MAX-PAC cutting strategies in this collaboration with GROB and...
