MCADCafe Industry Predictions for 2019 – CGTech

In the Manufacturing arena, there’s an increasing demand to produce quality parts faster, and at a competitive cost. This is forcing companies to rethink every manufacturing step and take all actions possible to become more efficient. Manufacturers focused on making good parts on the first run now have to increase their focus to fully optimizing their cutting processes. In this context, “fully optimizing” means not only choosing optimal cutting strategies and methods, but also squeezing every bit of performance from cutting tools and the CNC machines used in the process.

As challenging as that sounds, the dichotomy is that this comes at a time when many of our most experienced machinists are approaching retirement and there’s a shortage of upcoming manufacturing talent. As makers of verification and optimization software, CGTech is aware that shops increasingly rely on this type of software to bridge the burgeoning “skills-versus-optimal manufacturing” gap. Our users tell us that optimizing everything they do is key to surviving on the “mean streets” of manufacturing. In today’s age of IoT and accessibility, the most valuable software will also consider tool, machine, and other IoT accessible data to offer much-needed guidance to end users.
