MCADCafe Industry Predictions for 2019 – Tebis America

With the increasing lack of skilled labor, the need for automation will continue to be a must.  In the future, the need for automating CAM programs, standardizing tooling and creating best practice machining templates will be paramount. With companies investing in more sophisticated machines, simulation is critically important.  Not just for safety but also for simulation for how long a job will take and when any violations occur, such as collision, the need to adjust the program and tooling will also be paramount. More integrated solutions will be important, as will integrated CAD and CAM solution.  Same with interface.  Also, the need for other applications like an MES solution to track production, pre-plan and schedule within the operations.

In 2019 it is expected that car production will be down, and that means less new launches and less tooling that is needed. Also, as EV continues to grow, less die/stampings are needed.  This will continue to be an issue for the industry. The Aerospace industry continues to be active and companies will need to look for more complete solution and standardization in order to improve the bottom line.
