Direct Machining (DMAC)

Direct Machining (DMAC)-The process of driving production machines directly from a higher order part description such as CAD. DMAC integrates the part description software and machine controller on the same PC, eliminating numerous intermediate post-processing and control steps and much of the controller hardware.

General Information

Currently, multiple codes intercept progression from one data source to the next operation. Each operation requires a new set of code that must interpret the previous language. By the time the code reaches the end product, time becomes a factor. The rapid prototyping is no longer in effect. The processes preceding action implement limited production. DMAC is the process of driving production machines directly from a higher order part description, such as CAD or CAM. Direct machining integrates the part description software and machine controller on the same PC, eliminating numerous intermediate post-processing and control steps.

The Market

DMAC (Direct Machine Access Control) eliminates virtually all codes and tools by creating a new system that directs action from a single terminal. DMAC converts language into instructions quickly and efficiently. Within the corporation, all design and manufacturing personnel reference the same model. Mixed code and tools no longer conflict with accomplishing the specific tasks. Additionally, DMAC allows problems to repair quickly and efficiently without wasted time, trial and error. When a problem appears, the operator simply corrects the code in the system without having to correct code in other systems as well. A single terminal reduces complications and saves countless hours.
