A smart cloud-based application designed to enhance machining strategies by offering cutting forces predictions and feed rate optimization for the $96 Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tool market is being launched today by Productive Machines, one of just ten ambitious start-ups around the world to have been invited to the Boeing innovation accelerator program.

The new Feed Rate Calculator Web app – the first in range of smart tools being developed by the team at Productive Machines –- empowers manufacturers to make fast decisions about the use of untested milling processes and to obtain accurate forecasts of cutting forces expected on the cutting tool, thus unlocking significant cost and time savings time.

To celebrate the launch, Productive Machines is offering a limited-time opportunity for manufacturers to try their Feed Rate Calculator for free. This exclusive offer allows businesses to experience the benefits of precision machining optimization first-hand and witness the potential improvements in their operations.

The Productive Machines team will be at EMO Hannover, the world’s premier metalworking event, to showcase Feed Rate Calculator and its future roadmap for chatter-free milling optimization. Visitors will have the exclusive opportunity to experience first-hand the capabilities of this advanced tool and witness the future of milling optimization. This reaffirms Productive Machines’ commitment to sustainability and filling the technology skill gap supporting growth of industries reliant on precision machining.

About Productive Machines

Productive Machines, a pioneering spinoff from the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC). They use a unique digital twin to simulate millions of combinations of machine settings to arrive at the optimum feed rate and spindle speed setting for a given process prior to manufacturing.
