Can physics-based machining cut cycle times in half?
Reduce cycle times by up to 50%, setup cost by 20% and tooling cost by 11%… Productive Machines demonstrates how physics-based machining can make it happen. MTDCNC’s Clinton Perry and Cristina Sesma of Productive Machines discuss SenseNC, a CAM plug-in that analyses NC code and machine behaviour and helps eliminate chatter and optimise toolpaths directly inside systems like Siemens NX and Mastercam. Using tap testing, the software builds a “fingerprint” of the machine and tool setup to identify stable cutting zones before machining begins. The result is reduced vibration, improved surface finish, and more predictable machining without leaving the CAM

The success means that the supplier will be busy in the coming months, not only sourcing, configuring and supplying the bar-fed lathes, but also arranging a free trip to Japan for one individual from each company that placed an order at the exhibition.

Can tooling quality and cost efficiency finally align?
At a time when global manufacturing volumes are reshaping how tooling is priced, produced, and delivered, Ultra Tooling enters the market focused on exactly that challenge. With over 30 years in engineering and deep experience in sliding head machining, Russell Layton of Ultra Tooling explains how global manufacturing growth is influencing both pricing and capability across the tooling sector. The range spans Swiss-type tooling, inserts, holders, and workholding solutions, offering comparable material quality, coatings, and standards to more established brands – with savings of around 15% to 25% depending on application.
