Delcam is to sponsor the Future Aerospace Congress at the Sheridan Hotel in Laval Montreal from 4th to 6th June 2006.
The Future Aerospace Congress is designed to help manufacturers overcome today's challenges and work towards tomorrow's solutions by bringing together some of the industry's top minds from companies such as NASA, Airbus, FAA, Boeing, BAE, Lockheed Martin, Siemens and Honeywell just to name a few. For three days the congress will explore the future in flight with presentations in topics like leveraging lean/six sigma practices and collective systems to manufacturing solutions and safety.

Case studies will be presented on global sourcing and how to meet engineering challenges that will satisfy market demand with panel discussions on the latest technologies in coatings to enhance performance and extend aircraft systems to developments of composites that are reducing manufacturer's overall costs and increasing the life cycle and reliability of components.

At this event, Delcam will showcase how its range of CADCAM software can help both designers and manufacturers in aerospace.

Like other areas of manufacturing, aerospace companies and their subcontractors are under pressure to increase profitability and reduce cots.

Delcam's software can give significant improvements in two main areas- the machining and inspection of components.

As the developer of PowerMill, the world's leading specialist CAM system Delcam can offer the latest in five-axis machining strategies suitable for a range of aerospace applications, such as the production of aerostructures and the machining of blades and blisks.

Delcam also has specific technology in inspection with PowerInspect, the worlds leading hardware-independent inspection software.

A combination of both PowerMill and PowerInspect offers unique solutions which include on-machine verification and adaptive machining.

Both these technologies are extremely valuable to the manufacturing of aerostructures and other large components.
