Kipware® Conversational Featured in Production Machining Magazine

This month's issue of Gardner Publications's PRODUCTION MACHINING magazine features an article on  Kentech's Kipware® conversational CNC programming software.

The main focus of the article deals with the basic fact that CAD/CAM is a great tool ... but for the 95% of the everyday programming done on shop floors around the world ... it can be overkill ... can slow down the programming process ... and can remove good chipmakers from the programming process. With today's shops struggling to find qualified personnel ... reducing the complexity on the shop floor is even more essential.

A couple of the highlighted points quoted directly from the article include :

1. " ... But for a large amount of the programming that takes place in shops each day, the complex capabilities of a typical CAD/CAM package may be considerably more than is needed, potentially slowing down the programming process and restricting the work capacity of good chipmakers who don’t happen to be proficient with the software."
2. " ... The addition of Kipware Conversational allows shops to focus their CAD/CAM personnel on the more complex workpieces while machine operators can quickly perform the simpler, everyday programming. With shops finding a shortage of skilled metalworking and CAD/CAM personnel, use of this software could potentially ease the programming burden and increase work flow."
