Thoughtful article about the transition senior engineers may find themselves going through. Slowing down to speed up. Asking why. Being more strategic about what is worked on. Finding efficiency. This is why you need senior wisdom alongside that vibrant team of energetic

Ready to boost your CNC machining process? Dive into trochoidal milling and see the difference. Share your experiences and tips below! 👇 [7 of 7]

Pro Tip: Pair trochoidal milling with high-performance tooling and coatings for even better results. Experiment with different tool paths and parameters to find the optimal setup for your machine and material. [6 of 7]

Real-World Application: Ideal for hard-to-machine materials like titanium and stainless steel. Excellent for deep cavities and slots where traditional methods might struggle. [5 of 7]

How to Implement: Use CAM software that supports trochoidal toolpaths. Adjust parameters: Keep a low radial engagement and high axial engagement. Monitor tool wear and adjust speeds and feeds as necessary. [4 of 7]

Benefits: Extended Tool Life: Less heat and wear on the cutting edge. Faster Feed Rates: Higher material removal rates without compromising tool integrity. Smoother Cuts: Reduced vibration and improved surface finish. [3 of 7]

What is Trochoidal Milling? This technique involves cutting with a circular tool path, allowing the cutter to move in and out of the material, reducing the heat and stress on the tool. It’s perfect for high-speed machining. [2 of 7]

Tech Tip: Trochoidal Milling for CNC Machining Optimize your CNC process by using trochoidal milling. It's a game-changer for tool life and efficiency. Here's how it works and why you should use it: #CNC #Manufacturing #Hardware [1 of 7]

Later this year @hermeuscorp is aiming to take their first subsonic flight with the goal of hitting Mach 2.5 next year. For Episode 43 of S³ we got an inside look at how they're building 1 plane a year to pull it off.

Is PLM worth it? In many ways it feels like a 'necessary evil'. But too often the implementation of it comes at huge cost and overhead. Is there a better way? There's the traditional heavyweights such as @Siemens Teamcentre, @PTC_Windchill , Arena etc. Duro is making admirable

Test, learn, adjust. A masterclass in accelerating development through real-world learning. Early testing not only helps validate what you need, it will shine light on areas you didn't realize need work (not the case in this example, but in general!)

SUPERCHARGING YOUR 3D PRINTS Don't underestimate what can be done with 3D printing. It doesn't have to be 'too weak'. Metal hardware can be embedded to provide strength where needed. Machines such as @BambulabGlobal's X1 that pause during print allow you to insert nuts inside

Critical Design Reviews Do you feel inertia against you in a CDR? There's a design detail that could be improved, but everything is already 'baked in'. People are reluctant to go back to the drawing board. The design is 'done'. It's supposedly about reviewing the design, but the

Less is More. So many design documents are excessive, too wordy and provide unnecessary detail. This consumes valuable R&D time. Use your tools (e.g. CAD, BOM etc) to illustrate details. Use documentation to narrate critical design decisions, not rehash what can be found
