Industry applications:
Aerospace

Aerospace is the traditional domain for 5-Axis simultaneous machining with many engine and structural components requiring 5-Axis simultaneous machining techniques to be used.

Materials are hard, components often large and complex and lead times are always under pressure requiring manufacturers to invest in effective CAM software and machining processes.

ModuleWorks 5-Axis technology provides efficient and easy to use machining strategies to handle the demands of the Blisk, blade and impeller (see impellers) components used in aero engine manufacture. SWARF machining techniques with flexible collision detection ensure fast and safe machining of structural components such as wing spars.
