GF Agiecharmilles To Host Micromachining Seminar

GF Agiecharmilles will host a half-day dissemination seminar on micromachining - used within the biomedical, aerospace, electronics, micromechanics and automotive sectors - on 9 September 2010. The company is hosting the seminar in conjunction with Manchester University and technical partners Microsystems UK, Rolls-Royce, Rainford Precision Machines, Teer Coatings and WLR Prototype Engineers. The seminar, entitled 'Extended Life Micro-tooling by Advanced Coating Technology' (Elmact), follows the completion of a three-year micromachining research project, jointly funded by the Technology Strategy Board and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

The project specifically assessed the use of high-precision micro-tooling and different cutting tool coatings for micro-milling and micro-drilling applications. The Elmact event, targeted at precision manufacturers currently involved (or who wish to get involved) in micromachining, provides an opportunity for manufacturers to find out more about the research findings and to catch up with the latest developments and thinking from industry specialists. Martin Spencer, GF Agiecharmilles' managing director, said: 'Micromachining is widely recognised as a key enabling technology for the future and a growing number of industry sectors, such as biomedical, aerospace, electronics, micro-mechanics and automotive, are already using and applying micromachining technology best practice in and across their manufacturing operations.

'Many more are actively considering its manufacturing and commercial viability,' he added. According to Spencer, the seminar will feature informative presentations and practical machining demonstrations. The event will be held at the company's Coventry facility from 10:00 until 14:00.
