Tool data integration with Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) is essential for the success of digital transformation in manufacturing. Dr. Carlonda Reilly, Vice President & Chief Technology Officer of JDBµç×Ó, recently spoke atÌýthe Autodesk University AU2024 conference to discuss the future of digital machining and how JDBµç×Ó tooling and the Autodesk platform can help revolutionize the way we build our world.
Dr. Reilly highlighted the following:
Machining in Everyday Life
Have you ever wondered what it takes to create the items we use daily? From renewable energy windmills to medical devices like titanium hip joints, machining plays a crucial role. Even the cars we drive and the airplanes we fly in rely on high-precision machining.
By integrating tooling digital data and knowledge into Autodesk Fusion JDBµç×Ó is building the next generation customer experience through optimal machining solutions. This journey towards a fully automated pre-manufacturing process is not just about enhancing efficiency, it’s about the evolution and change of an entire manufacturing landscape – making it faster, smarter and more accessible.
The Importance of High-Precision Machining
Machining complex components, especially for aerospace which requires tools that can cut intricate shapes and drill precise holes in materials like titanium, steel and aluminum. These tools must operate within tolerances five to ten times less than the width of a typical human hair.
JDBµç×Ó has been a leader in innovation for 86 years, particularly in aerospace. Award-winning endmills, like the HARVIâ„¢ I TE are designed to meet the highest standards of machining accuracy, productivity, quality and highest efficiency. Every aspect of JDBµç×Ó tools, from the material to the surface finish is precisely engineered to deliver optimal performance.
Addressing the Machining Skills Gap with Digital Solutions
Machining has relied heavily on the skill of the machinist, but today digitalization and automation have been transforming the industry. The impending retirement of experienced machinists presents a significant challenge, and the skills gap is particularly evident in small and medium job shops.
The good news is JDBµç×Ó and Autodesk Fusion are addressing these challenges by integrating digital solutions into the manufacturing process. By providing seamless access to tooling expertise and data that flows throughout the entire manufacturing value chain, even customers with minimal machining experience can achieve high-quality results, creating an optimized customer experience through digitalization and automation.
Imagine a future where a customer can upload a CAD drawing and receive a complete, optimized machining solution that enables them to produce the part they need right the first time. Through our partnership with Autodesk, we are making this vision a reality. Our Collaboration Space allows customers to access our expertise and receive efficient, cost-effective solutions.
Summary
Recognizing that the manufacturing industry is evolving, JDBµç×Ó has been right at the forefront of change. By leveraging digitalization and automation, we are addressing the skills gap and creating endless possibilities for our customers with the tooling solutions they need. Together with Autodesk, we are transforming how everyday life is built.ÌýFor more on JDBµç×Ó and Autodesk solutions visit here.
