High Performance Machining

The AMRC define high-performance machining as the production of parts within a system in the shortest time possible, without compromising the structural or surface integrity of the component.

High performance machining is used to maximise a machine's efficiency. A fundamental understanding of materials allows the AMRC’s engineers to apply the best parameters to the materials they are working with.

Utilising higher speeds within the machining process offers certain design opportunities such as allowing the production of thinner walls and bases. However, trade offs in performance can occur. These techniques can reduce tool life, particularly when working with hard materials, and therefore increase production times through increased machine downtime if users are unaware of these distinctions.

High Performance Machining is performed at the AMRC.
