SMOOTHING THE WAY …
FOR CANADIAN MANUFACTURING
FOR CANADIAN BUSINESS
FOR CANADIANS
The manufacturing sector in Canada has an output of approximately $600 billion annually, with machining operations playing a major role in this activity.
Critical value-added functions are performed during machining to produce parts for the machinery, aircraft, automotive, power generation, medical, agricultural, marine and rail transportation sectors. Large amounts of capital equipment and human resources are involved in this sector within Canada.
The NSERC CANRIMT2 Project focuses on making this existing base of equipment and talent more productive by providing it with educated personnel empowered with science-based tools operating within a virtual framework.
Overall this will have a significant impact on productivity, cost, and quality; three indicators that dictate competitiveness in the global marketplace

Conference Chair
VMPT 2019 is sponsored by the Canadian Network for Research and Innovation in Machining Technology (CANRIMT) and is integrated with its annual general meeting. VMPT 2019 builds on previous successful VMPT conferences held in Canada and Taiwan and attended by both academia and industry. Industry requires the rapid development, prototyping, testing and deployment of machining strategies in order to reduce costs and achieve the highest quality. A key tool in achieving this goal is the modelling of product development and manufacturing in a digital environment using science-based approaches in which the complete machining process can be simulated and optimized before resorting to costly and time-consuming physical trials on the shop floor. Digital models must now be integrated into the manufacturing environment to allow an autonomous and continuously optimized production of quality certified parts.
