"Meet the Experts"
Designing Parts for Machining & Finishing


November 17, 2010

The SMP “Meet the Experts” Designing Parts for Machining and Finishing Forum will include discussions and examples of items commonly found on engineering drawings that drive up the cost of machining and finishing of fabricated parts as well as a discussion of techniques that can be used to avoid common engineering design pitfalls. The presentations will also cover fundamental issues associated with the selection of finish operations such powder coating, masking and silk screening.

This Forum will also include a facilities tour of AMT which will include a demonstration of their two unmanned Mazak horizontal milling cell systems and a robot loading Lathe Center. After the presentations there will be door prize drawings and a complimentary lunch for all attendees.

Designing Parts for Machining and Finishing Overview.


 We will visit the shop floor of Advanced Machining Techniques (AMT) where you will see examples of advanced machining centers in operation. The machining demonstrations will be coupled with a presentation of how different approaches to machining yield different run times and their respective cost saving advantages.

  Scientific Metal Finishing will discuss coating specifications for painting, powder coating, substrate preparation, masking and silk screening as related to cost and quality. The presentation will include time-line information as well as environmental issues related to air quality and hazardous materials.

SMP Tech, Inc. will discuss the factors that drive fabricated part costs and that slow down the release of product into manufacturing. The presentation will include a demonstration of a template that can be used to estimate the cost of parts during development as well as for production.
