Posted on May 20: International workshop on machining operations meets today

An international workshop on the modeling of machining operations will be held on Tuesday, May 20 in conjunction with the 2003 North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC) at McMaster University.

This workshop, initiated in 1998, is the sixth in the series. The objectives of the workshop are to foster an open discussion on the state of development and application of machining models, and to identify promising directions for future research. It is hoped that the workshop will provide a forum to establish a fruitful dialogue between those who apply machining models to production processes/problems and model developers.

The program will comprise 16 presentations covering topics related to Recent Advances in Modeling of Machining Processes, Modeling of Oblique/Orthogonal Cutting and Applications of Modeling.
