Policies and strategies
Europe 2020 strategyChanges in sustainable consumption and production since 2000 indicate following*: •Only relative decoupling of resource use from economic growth; •Consumption of materials continues to rise; •Waste management improving, although generated is more hazardous waste; •There is decrease in atmospheric emissions; •Final energy consumption decreased in 2009; •Increase of organisations certified with an environmental management system;
* Measuring progress towards a more sustainable Europe- Eurostat statistical book
Industrial Technologies conference June 2012
Main findings of the study
Competitiveness of the EU MT Industry
• The key to competitiveness:
• Innovation• Differentiation through
technology• Excellence in engineering• Innovation capacity to develop
new processes and products
Industrial Technologies conference June 2012
Advanced manufacturing processes
Production methods for complex shaped workpieces• reliable and productive planning for
complex-shaped workpieces • Streamlined use of CAM
systems • machining strategies• configuration of post-processors• use of measurements and
measurement data evaluation to adjust machining methods
• further understanding of more effective process of cutting tools for open and closed surfaces
• , analysis of cutting process stability for machining with four or more axes

Industrial Technologies conference June 2012
Advanced manufacturing processes
Innovation of cutting tools• edge geometry • cutting stability, tool edge
durability and machined surface quality
• cutting stability, tool edge durability and machined surface quality
• Improved cooling• simulations of tool functions in
the design phase• simulations of the environmental
impact of machining methods combined with particular tools

Industrial Technologies conference June 2012
Advanced manufacturing processes
Optimum cutting conditions• optimization of cutting conditions in
terms of reduced costs, maximised manufacturing productivity and improved surface quality
• Prediction of tool service life• Monitoring of cutting stability,
energy demands and environmental impacts
• Development of mathematical models of the cutting process
• Optimisation of cutting conditions, using information about the dynamic behaviour of tool
• Use of environment-friendly cutting fluids and lubricants
Industrial Technologies conference June 2012
Advanced manufacturing processes
Machine tool mechanics and control on workpiece quality and dimensional accuracy
• simplified descriptions of static, dynamic and thermal machine tool properties
• NC code optimisation considering the dynamic properties of machine, spindle, drives and control system.
• Research on the influence of machine tool properties and their changes with time, temperature, kinematic configuration
