In precision manufacturing, the gulf between programmed toolpaths and machine reality is shrinking profits, slowing development, and introducing risk on every contract. This 2025 webinar series is built for engineers, planners, and senior leaders who demand predictability, not guesswork.

Hosted by Dr. Rob Ward and delivered in collaboration with AMRC Machining Group experts, the series takes you on a structured learning journey — from foundational CAM challenges to the most demanding use cases in 5-axis blisk machining and ultra-large defence forgings.

Each session dissects real-world problems using Virtual Machining and DigitalCNC’s kinematic modelling, showing how to eliminate costly trial cuts, validate complex geometries, and make confident, data-driven decisions before the first chip is cut.

Webinar - February 12: High-speed, high-value: mastering adaptive milling strategies

Adaptive milling (Dynamic Milling) has revolutionised roughing operations - maximising material removal rate while extending tool life on demanding materials like titanium and aluminium. But there's a critical planning problem: predicting actual cycle times when adaptive toolpaths create constantly varying cutting conditions.

Join Digital CNC CEO, Dr Rob Ward, alongside AMRC's machining group experts as we dive deep into adaptive milling strategies and reveal how to overcome the industry's biggest planning hurdle: the gap between programmed time and machine reality.

What you'll learn:

• How adaptive toolpaths optimise chip load and tool engagement for aggressive material removal
• Why conventional CAM time estimates fail with dynamic toolpaths
• Achieving accurate cycle time prediction through kinematic simulation and G-code analysis
• Virtual verification techniques to validate complex adaptive strategies before cutting

Discover how advanced virtual machining transforms adaptive milling from a trial-and-error process into a predictable, data-driven operation—enabling precise quoting, optimised scheduling, and confident process planning.

Expert Speakers: Ryan Fletcher (technical lead, AMRC) and Joseph Berner (project engineer, AMRC)

Webinar 3 - March 12: 5-Axis programming confidence
