Delcam’s PartMaker and Mazak to Demonstrate Using Bar-Fed Mills for Medical Device Manufacture
Delcam’s PartMaker division of Delcam Plc, in partnership with Mazak Corp., will demonstrate the benefits of using bar-fed milling technology for the manufacture of medical devices at Mazak’s Discover Mazak Northeast event at the company’s technology centre located in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, on 17th and 18th May.
The presentations will feature the manufacture of a titanium spinal plate on the Mazak i-150 bar-fed mill. In addition to the machining presentations, PartMaker technical specialists will conduct seminars each day on the benefits of using bar-fed mills like the Mazak i-150 for the automated manufacture of medical devices as well CAD/CAM considerations for doing so.

“In many ways, bar-fed mills like the Mazak i-150 represent the future of small, complex, low-volume CNC manufacturing, such as that often found in the medical device arena,” said PartMaker Division President, Hanan Fishman. “Together with Mazak, we are very pleased to have the opportunity to demonstrate, live, the benefits of how CAM software can help manufacturers take advantage of this unique technology. The North-East has traditionally been a hub for leading-edge manufacturing techniques, so the fact that these presentations are being done in at Mazak’s Northeast Technology Center are highly appropriate.”
PartMaker Version 2011 has been specifically designed to automate the programming of Bar-Fed Mills like the Mazak i-150. Bar-fed mills are a new breed of machine tool technology that is growing more popular for the production of small, complex parts for such applications as medical device, aerospace, fluid power and any other industry that requires complex small parts.
With Version 2011, PartMaker aims to establish itself as the market leading system for automating the programming of Bar-Fed Mills by introducing a number of new features for handling the unique programming issues presented by these machines. PartMaker Version 2011 simulates the unique architectures and machine kinematics of bar-fed mills in its 3D simulation module and supports the Bar-Fed mill offerings with robust post processors and vivid simulation of such machines.
