Delcam reseller SEACAM will join forces with machine tool manufacturer DMG and cutting tool specialists Sandvik to host three free seminars on new technology for the mould and die industry in Brazil. The seminars, which will be held in Caxias do Sul on 3rd November, Sao Leopoldo on 4th November and Sao Paulo on 17th November, are aimed at encouraging companies both large and small to increase their productivity and their competitiveness with the latest machining technology. |

The main focus of the seminars will be on developments in five-axis and high-speed machining. While larger companies have used these techniques for many years, until recently smaller subcontractors and toolmakers have been reluctant to invest in these newer methods. They have been discouraged both by the cost of the higher specification machine tools and by the increased complexity of the CAM programming techniques that must be used. The time has now come, however, when even smaller companies cannot afford to ignore the opportunities that these new technologies offer to shorten delivery times, boost productivity and increase profitability. The price of both high-speed and five-axis machines has been falling steadily and this trend is forecast to continue. In addition, capabilities that were once only available on larger machines are now provided on the smaller ranges of equipment. At the same time, programming systems for these more sophisticated machining options are now far easier to use. The time taken to learn software like Delcam’s PowerMILL CAM system has been reduced significantly, meaning that new staff can become effective users much more quickly and with much lower training costs.
