There is also a new exhibition , launching for the first time at MACH 2022 , which highlights another of the show ’ s core themes - the opportunities that can be found within the UK supply chain . Sponsored by Lloyds Bank and the Engineering Industries Association , The Engineering Supply Chain Show is where engineering and manufacturing buyers can go to source world-class suppliers , exclusively in the UK engineering and manufacturing supply chain .
Also debuting at the show this year will be a special Tooling Clinic run by the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre ( AMRC ). The clinic will enable visitors to identify the tooling solutions right for them through open discussion of the manufacturing challenges within their tooling applications , cutting strategies , parameter optimisation , virtual machining and other high value manufacturing methodologies and technologies .
Visitors can make an appointment to the clinic in advance , highlighting their specific challenges or identifying options from the list of discussion topics . Appointments can be booked at www . machexhibition . com / tooling-clinic
AMRC engineers will draw on their experience and expertise , provide presentations on key discussion areas and signpost visitors to the technology exhibitors who can best address their requirements .
Discussion topics include process costing and parameter optimisation , virtual machining for CAM iteration and process optimisation , cutting strategy for thin parts , aluminium , titanium and Inconel
As with previous exhibitions , MACH 2022 will feature a strong seminar programme .
best practice , down selection of tooling geometry using virtual machining , use of non-traditional substrates , solutions for aerofoil components - blades , blisks and impellers , focused support for SMEs , tool holding technologies . micro machining , machine tool dynamics and a host of other relevant topics .
As with previous exhibitions , MACH 2022 will feature a strong seminar programme , with sessions spanning the whole spectrum of the manufacturing technologies sector , with speakers focused on delivering intuitive and engaging presentations reflecting the themes of the show .
Delivering the keynote speech is Katherine Bennett CBE , Chief Executive of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult . She will address two of the key themes of the show - the importance of sustainability in manufacturing and the drive to net zero , alongside the importance of the advanced engineering sector . Other sessions will focus on important topics affecting the engineering and manufacturing sectors , including digital manufacturing processes , additive manufacturing , the importance of cyber security , investment advice and skills development .
“ MACH is such a fantastic event for both exhibitors and visitors . Showcasing live , digital production systems in one space , it is not to be missed . Hundreds of millions of pounds worth of business is discussed , secured and completed at the exhibition , making it the must-attend event in the UK manufacturing calendar ,” added Mr Selka .
“ We also strive to provide meaningful engagement points for our visitors and exhibitors alike , so with the focus on future technologies , we also have the High Value Manufacturing Catapult Centre and the Made Smarter programme , both showing what they can offer and how they can assist companies with the transition into the digital future .”
