Precision manufacturing is essential for producing high-quality parts with minimal variance, crucial in industries such as aerospace. It allows for the consistent creation of components that meet exact specifications, thereby enhancing product reliability and performance. "Ever more complex components and new materials also present new machining challenges," said Dave Colton, sales director, Kyocera SGS.
Colton continued, "The challenge is to convince some customers that adopting the latest ideas is worth the short-term discomfort of implementation for the long-term gain in improved productivity and cost." The partnership aims to bridge this gap by demonstrating tangible benefits through joint initiatives and customer engagement.
The product collaboration facilitates a seamless connection between the virtual and real worlds, optimizing tool paths and cutting processes. Dominique Galmel of Dassault Systèmes Delmia highlighted this synergy, noting that, "the link between the virtual and the real is becoming more and more tight." This integration not only enhances the efficiency of machining operations, but also reduces costs associated with physical tooling, which is a significant expense in the industry.

The partnership is not just about addressing current challenges, but also about shaping the future of manufacturing. Joint marketing efforts, physical events, and live demonstrations are planned to showcase the innovations and benefits of this collaboration. Galmel articulates, “We are committed, as are Kyocera SGS, to come together and help clients progress.” Such dedication to client success underscores the partnership's strategic goals.
Looking ahead, both companies are focused on developing new products and strategies, such as innovations in machining aluminum airframe components, leveraging DELMIA's software capabilities to maximize the efficiency of Kyocera SGS's cutting tools. Galmel also said, "Our virtual capability helps to increase the quality of the movement, hence the productivity that will be delivered at the end on the physical machine." This focus on continuous improvement is pivotal to the partnership's future success.
