Over 50 Attend Sescoi Seminar at CDTA, Algiers
 MACON,
France, Jul 20, 2009 - Sescoi has been working with the CDTA, the Algerian
Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies, in a collaborative
project aimed at demonstrating rapid prototyping and mold machining
techniques and the latest CAM/CAD technology to Algerian manufacturers
across a wide range of industries. A seminar held at the start of June at
the CDTA headquarters in Algiers welcomed over 50 engineers and managers
from leading Algerian companies including ENIEM, ERMAero, ECMK, BCL, ATP
Mesrouk, Almoules, Mouzaïa Plastique and SNVI, as well as representatives
from national research institutions and universities such as the Ecole
Militaire Polytechnique, the University of Annaba, INGM and USTHB.
 During
the seminar, Sescoi engineers described the entire “Digital Chain” process,
from product design through to industrialization, outlining all the steps in
the process and illustrating how WorkNC, Sescoi’s automated CAM system, and
WorkNC-CAD, its manufacturing CAD software, together provide a complete
automatic software package enabling companies to achieve significant gains
in productivity.
The machining facilities at CDTA allowed visitors to see the complete
sequence of mold production live, starting with manipulation of the tool
design and CNC programming in WorkNC, through to machining of complex 3D
cavities for a rigid plastic packaging component. By emphasizing the ease of
use, accuracy and speed of WorkNC, the benefits which can be gained from
using digital manufacturing methods became evident. Advantages include the
software’s automated programming, which greatly reduces the levels of skill
and experience required for cutting complex 3D forms.
During the seminar, applications in the automotive, aerospace, nuclear,
defense, food, household appliance, toy and foundry industries were
considered, examining the differences and commonalities between them, such
as material types, quality of finish, and the levels of accuracy and detail
required in the completed products. WorkNC includes new global roughing and
finishing routines and an extensive tool library. These have been developed
to successfully machine both hard and soft material while optimizing cutting
conditions and material removal rates. Furthermore, the software’s collision
avoidance technology ensures safe cutter paths, maximizes tool life and
minimizes wasted movement, thereby reducing the use of consumables and
shortening cycle times.
To explain how digital techniques work in an industrial environment, CDTA
introduced a mold making expert specializing in tooling for the automotive
market. He shared his eight years of experience working in China, producing
molds for French companies using these techniques. Data exchange, reliable
communication and accurate production were made possible by utilizing CAD
models directly within the production process. The reliability and accuracy
of WorkNC and its machine tool interface ensured the success of each element
of the manufacturing process.
The partnership between CDTA and Sescoi has facilitated additional
research into higher productivity. The Center’s collaborative projects with
institutions and companies in France, Germany, South Africa, Tunisia,
Morocco, Canada, Ireland, South Korea, Poland and Spain will further enhance
the development, sharing, and implementation of new advanced manufacturing
methods.
