AAT3D IMTS Tech Hub presentation on adaptive manufacturing and onboard inspection using CAPPS-NC on-machine metrology software.
Presented by Chris Affer
Building on Wednesday's Smart Machining session, this presentation takes a deeper dive into what it actually looks like to put on-machine inspection to work -- from first deployment through measurable, sustained results.
CAPPS-NC has become the tool of choice for manufacturers who need more than theory. In this session, Chris Affer walks through real implementation experiences across aerospace, defense, and mold and die -- sharing the decisions made, the obstacles overcome, and the outcomes achieved by teams that have made on-machine inspection a core part of how they run their process.
Attendees will come away with a grounded understanding of what implementation really involves, including application overviews that map to common shop floor scenarios, KPI benchmarks that reflect what world-class manufacturers are actually achieving, and an honest look at the tools and workflows that drive those results.
Whether you're evaluating CAPPS-NC for the first time or looking to get more out of an existing deployment, this session offers the kind of practical detail that moves projects forward.
