Automotive suppliers face constant pressure to deliver lighter, stronger parts — but it’s not just about design, it’s about production. Advanced CAM software that integrates toolpath automation and smart machining strategies can help manufacturers translate lightweight designs into cost-effective, manufacturable components.
This 30-minute webinar will explore how integrated CAM tools support manufacturers in bridging the gap between innovative design and efficient production. Attendees will learn how toolpath automation, which automatically generates cutting paths based on part geometry, and smart machining strategies, which adapt to material and design features, contribute to shorter cycle times, reduced scrap, and more consistent results. Whether producing components for EVs, drivetrains, or interiors, attendees will leave with practical ideas to modernize their machining processes.
An audience Q&A session will follow the technical presentation.
