5-Axis machine update
Stephen Sharp, Marines South East’s Programme Manager, recently attended a demonstration of plug preparation and machining at Bowes Design and Development in Aylesford, Kent. He gained an insight into the mixing, application and machining of epoxy pastes using a 2KM metering and mixing machine and CMS 5-axis milling machine.
Marine South East has recently held discussions with several companies that have expressed an interest in shared access to a 5-axis milling machine, and we are having ongoing discussions with SEEDA on the location of the machine.
In preparation for the launch of the facility, Marine South East has been working with the marine Regional Resource Centre to facilitate the development of CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) training courses, this will help to ensure that companies have trained staff able to programme and use the facility.
If you would like to find out more about this proposed facility email Stephen Sharp stephen@marinesoutheast.co.uk Alternatively log on to http://www.marinesoutheast.co.uk/ongoing_projects for the latest information on this and other projects.
