Inside Fusion for Manufacturing: Advanced Capabilities for Modern Production
Programming bottlenecks, scrap and machine downtime cost CNC shops time and money every day — whether you’re handling frequent design changes, juggling multiple setups or pushing machines to run more complex parts. In this webinar, you’ll learn practical CAM techniques for programming CNC parts faster, reducing setup time and avoiding costly shop-floor issues, using workflows built for real-world manufacturing environments. Rather than a high-level product overview, this session focuses on how CAM programmers and shop teams actually work. You’ll see how Fusion for Manufacturing connects design, CAM programming and simulation in a single platform, making it easier to manage change, program complex parts with confidence and validate toolpaths before they ever reach the machine. During this webinar, you will learn how to: Automatically update CAM toolpaths when CAD geometry changes while preserving machining intent Apply advanced roughing and finishing strategies — including adaptive clearing, steep and shallow, and high-efficiency machining — to reduce cycle time and improve tool life Program 3+2 and full five-axis milling operations to improve tool access, reduce setups and handle complex geometries Verify toolpaths using stock, holder and machine simulation to prevent collisions, scrap and rework Who should attend: CNC job shops managing high-mix, frequently-changing work Shops running multiple machines, controls and setups that need consistent, repeatable programming CNC programmers responsible for complex parts, tight tolerances and short lead times Shops looking to reduce programming time and setup complexity without adding more software Teams planning to expand into multi-axis or five-axis machining and want more confidence at the machine By the end of this webinar, you’ll walk away with practical CAM workflows you can apply immediately to program faster, reduce setups and keep machines cutting — so your shop can take on more work with confidence and consistency.

Modern Milling Techniques for Tough Metals
Achieve faster cuts and longer tool life in titanium, superalloys and stainless. Join Ceratizit for this technical deep dive into the machining strategies that shape today's most demanding metal cutting applications. This webinar focuses on next-generation solid carbide end mills engineered for titanium and heat-resistant superalloys. The tools also prove highly effective in stainless steel milling. This session delivers practical, actionable guidance for shops and operators looking to optimize tool performance and cycle times in tough materials. As manufacturing sectors continue to increase their use of titanium, superalloys and other difficult-to-machine materials, shops need tooling and strategies that deliver predictable results. Ceratizit's end mills are backed by a vertically-integrated supply chain that ensures quality substrates and production scalability. Agenda: Trochoidal milling: improve material removal efficiency while reducing heat and tool wear High efficiency milling (HEM): leverage low radial engagement to maximize tool life, stability and throughput Helical interpolations: stable entry and pocketing in difficult materials Ramping: versatile non-traditional entry techniques to extend tool life Full slot milling: how modern six-flute geometries enable aggressive slotting in titanium and superalloys
