This document discusses how NX CAM was customized for use in fabricating steel bridges at High Steel, a large steel bridge fabricator. Some key points:
- High Steel produces complex, curved steel plates that require 3D modeling rather than simple drawings. NX CAM was chosen for its associative modeling capabilities.
- Custom tools and utilities were developed using NX's customization tools like UI Styler and knowledge fusion to automate modeling of complex geometries from limited input data.
- The bridges require thousands of unique pieces, so rapid modeling and programming turnaround is essential. Over 8 programmers generated 39,000 programs in one year to meet production needs.
- Non-traditional machining processes like burning

A chamfer machine is a machine tool that is used to create a chamfer, which is a beveled edge on a workpiece. The chamfer machine can be used to create chamfers on a range of materials, including metal, plastic, and wood.
The chamfer machine works by rotating the workpiece and using a cutting tool to create the chamfer. The machine can be equipped with various types of cutting tools, including milling cutters, grinding wheels, and abrasive discs. Some chamfer machines can also be programmed with a computer numerical control (CNC) system, allowing for more precise control over the chamfering process.
Chamfer machines come in a variety of sizes and styles, from small handheld devices to large industrial machines. Some chamfer machines are designed for use in a production line, while others are more suitable for use in a workshop or laboratory.
Chamfer machines are commonly used in the manufacturing industry to create chamfers on a range of products, including gears, shafts, and machine parts. Chamfering the edges of these parts helps to reduce stress concentrations and improves their overall strength and durability.

Manufacturimg of comressor blade presentation 4 - copyanup sharma
The document discusses the manufacturing process of compressor blades. Compressor blades are used in aircraft propulsion systems and power stations. The process begins with selecting stainless steel as the raw material. The steel is cut to size and then milled and surface ground to shape. CNC machining is used to further refine the shape. Quality control checks the dimensions before polishing and packing. Compressor blades extract energy from high pressure gas and must withstand high stresses and loads during operation in propulsion and power generation systems.
This document provides an overview of computer numerical control (CNC) machines. It discusses what NC and CNC are, the history of NC machines, the typical elements of a CNC system including the part program and control unit.

The document describes various projects Frank Iattarelli has worked on from 2012 to present. They include a 3D dust printer, CNC name plaque, qualification line, cable cutting guide, helical wire guide, and more. The projects utilized various manufacturing methods like SolidWorks, CNC milling, manual machining, 3D printing, and more. Most projects were designed and built to learn new skills, solve problems, or create functional prototypes.
Introduction to Additive manufacturing by Bharath Sreevatsav(NITW)Bharath Sreevatsava
This document provides an overview of additive manufacturing (AM) including definitions, processes, technologies, materials, applications, principles, and advantages/disadvantages. AM is defined as joining materials layer by layer to make 3D objects from digital models. Key AM processes include material extrusion, directed energy deposition, material jetting, binder jetting, sheet lamination, vat polymerization, and powder bed fusion. Common AM technologies use sintering, direct metal laser sintering/melting, stereolithography, and more. AM can use thermoplastics, metals, ceramics, and biochemical materials. Applications span aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and product development. General principles involve modeling, printing,
The document discusses Creo NC Sheetmetal, a Creo manufacturing application. It provides an overview of the Creo manufacturing product portfolio before focusing on Creo NC Sheetmetal. Creo NC Sheetmetal allows for NC programming of turret punch presses, automatic flat pattern development with bend allowances, automatic punch tool selection, automatic part nesting, and material removal simulation. It benefits users by optimizing machining cycles, encouraging concurrent engineering, and providing a shop floor oriented interface.
This training report summarizes Sampreet Singh Goraya's work training at Emkay Automobiles in their research and development of automotive sheet metal components. The report outlines Emkay's operations, including their facilities across India. It then describes Goraya's role in modeling sheet metal components in 3D software and understanding tool design. The report provides details on the product development process, including concept development, quality planning, modeling of parts, prototyping, tool structure and types, and examples of specific component projects. It closes with descriptions of processes like blanking, bending, trimming, punching, forming, and heat treatment effects.
