Getting Technical - Machining mastery explored: Model-based machining advancements

In traditional machining intuition-based decisions regarding machining methods, cutting tools, and cutting data are primarily based on the operator's experience, judgment, and intuition rather than on precise scientific models or simulations. The future of machining is data-driven (digital machining). Big data and relevant algorithms will guide the selection of process conditions and in-process adaptive modifications will optimise in realtime the results.

Model-based machining is the bridge we need to close the gap between past and future,

Model-based an approach to machining processes that relies on physical and mathematical models to guide and optimize the machining processes. Unlike traditional methods where machining instructions are manually generated based on experience, model-based machining leverages advanced methods to generate machining strategies, do tool selection, create toolpaths and select cutting data directly from models of the workpiece and the machining process system and environment.
