Machining Modeling Intensive - Accelerating On-time delivery and New Product Introduction by Reducing On-Machine Trials
CCAT in partnership with Third Wave Systems will guide engineers, machinists, and programmers to deliver complex, high-value components faster while maintaining stringent quality standards within a model-based engineering (MBE) workflow.
Description
CCAT in partnership with Third Wave Systems will guide engineers, machinists, and programmers to deliver complex, high-value components faster while maintaining stringent quality standards within a model-based engineering (MBE) workflow.
Traditional trial and error machining approaches often lead to delays, scraps, and cost overruns. By understanding heat generation and material stress during the machining process, engineers gain insights that are difficult or impossible to capture through physical machine trials alone. This hands-on workshop will show participants how to evaluate machining strategies, reduce cycle times, and determine toolpaths with confidence before ever cutting a single chip.
Participants will learn how to:
-
Use virtual prototyping to significantly reduce on machine trials
-
Guide toolpath strategies while maintaining part quality by minimizing distortion and deflection
-
Track material stress to improve first pass yield and overall process reliability
Machining Modeling Intensive is a three-day program featuring scenario-based courses that use an industry relevant part, material, and real-world application to demonstrate an end-to-end solution with Third Wave’s machining modeling software.

Target Audience
Machining Modeling Intensive is designed for engineers, machinists, programmers, and manufacturing professionals who want to explore innovative software solutions that can turbocharge machining production, rapid prototyping and continuous improvement.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the course, attendees will be able to apply machining modeling within the digital thread by analyzing and integrating modeling results directly into the toolpath generation process. This approach reduces reliance on physical testing, shortens verification time, lowers costs, and improves part quality and cycle times and enables 5 to 10 times faster time-to-market.
