2024 Third Wave's Innovation Showcase

The Role of Cutting Tool Technology in Accelerating NPI

Presented in Partnership with Harvey Performance Tools.
A Technology Demonstration for The Aerospace and Defense Supplier Base

October 15, 2024 | 9am - 3pm
HARVEY PERFORMANCE, Gorham, ME

This event will be followed by a networking happy hour.

About the Event

Third Wave Systems and Harvey Performance will present an agile approach to cutting tool design to enable an accelerated New Product Introduction (NPI) and have a lasting impact on the OEM’s investment commitments for the product lifecycle.

Why Attend?

Discover what’s possible when technology-forward companies invest in a digitally enabled approach to machining:

  • Combine cutting tool technology and toolpath strategy to deliver a tailored groundbreaking solution that delivers a stable production process in a matter of weeks.
  • Exceed customer requirements for tool life, process stability and part quality
  • Implement a scalable methodology for accelerating NPI to make impact at the engine program level

Join this Innovation Showcase to discuss what a digital-first approach can do for OEMs and their suppliers. 

This event is the fourth one in a series of showcase events where we have demonstrated how the supply base to the DoD can accelerate NPI by 2 – 5x.

One key component of ability to deliver in time is the use of right cutting tool technology in combination with innovative machining strategies. This event will focus specifically on accelerating the design of cutting tools for a specific application in an aerospace engine component.

Witness firsthand how Third Wave’s advanced suite of machining modeling products offers comprehensive insights into your machining process–accelerating your new product introduction. See how physics-based machining modeling is enabling aerospace suppliers from tool makers to part manufacturers to deliver bold innovation by partnering to create novel solutions. The demonstration will include both results analysis and live machining, showcasing how digital technology is accelerating novel tool design and its application on the machine.

This event will be followed by a networking happy hour– a chance to further connect with attendees and the leaders from Harvey Performance and Third Wave Systems.
