EV component manufacturing – Part 4

In this article, we focus on the CNC programming phase within a steering knuckle manufacturing project employing NX CAM. The discussion highlights the integration of digital twin technology, advanced CAM software, and the collaborative synergy between CAD designers and CAM programmers.

EV component manufacturing – Part 3

The foundation of an efficient manufacturing process is always in the design. More and more companies are using additive manufacturing as their guiding blueprint, resulting in less material waste and optimizing cost savings for real production.

EV component manufacturing – Part 2

In a traditional production setting lacking a digital manufacturing infrastructure, tasks are typically carried out in isolated silos, leading to inefficiencies. This blog emphasizes the need for systematic management of iterations across the team. The adoption of a digital manufacturing infrastructure provides an efficient, error-preventing environment with immediate access to relevant data, design iterations, and real-time changes, offering the means to achieve agility and prevent operational errors.
