High-Speed Machining of Thin-Web, Large-Pocket Aircraft Components Quad Chart Narrative Briefing Capabilities BrochureKeywords: Machining, process improvement, CAE software, airframe, aircraft, engines, metal, titanium Abstract: Combining machining expertise with materials-based modeling technology, this engineering software company helps manufacturers get to market faster and more affordably. Its CAM/CAD-interfacing software applies high performance machining practices and helps controls machining-induced stresses and distortion, enabling faster turnaround times while improving part quality, reducing costs, and enhancing machining expertise. Companies that manufacture metal airframe components will greatly benefit from using the software, especially Primes mandating program-wide implementation. Initially developed for the V-22 program, technology is ready for and applicable to any aircraft containing titanium, steel, and aluminum parts - including engines. Machining demonstrations have validated the software's 25% targeted cycle time reduction for an F-35 airframe component, and a full-scale technology implementation within the V-22 program has reduced component cycle times an average of 30%.
