Advanced Machining Course
At UBC's Manufacturing Automation Laboratory we have developed the most advanced, accurate, comprehensive machining process simulation, planning and troubleshooting system: CUTPRO V9. In this course we will be teaching the fundamentals of machining science and their practical application on the shop floor.
We can help you to significantly improve the performance of your tools, machine tools and productivity when you learn how to use and apply the advanced machining science embedded in CUTPRO. Companies that are on the competitive edge around the world are benefiting greatly from its use; we would like to extend this advantage every company who wants to learn how to capitalize on this remarkable software in our hands-on-training 5 days course.

Engineering Services
We are highly trained professionals specialized in machining processes, structural dynamics, and high performance machining. We harness our knowledge specific qualities and use our expertise to develop and implement plans, from conceptual planning to turnover. We may be hired to:
- provide expertise in identifying and troubleshooting machining related problems, |
- support your employees with advanced machining methods, |
- train them to transfer knowledge. |
In that regard, we are pleased to offer the following services:
- Develop methods to improve productivity of machining operations by achieving high material removal rates without compromising the part quality or process competitiveness; |
- Troubleshoot a machining failure by outlining the nature of the mechanism which may have caused damage or failure, and list options for remedial action such as selection of improved cutting conditions; more effective tool design suggestions; replacement of tool, tool holder or fixture; |
- Analyze a complete part program to predict critical process outputs such as spindle torque and power, cutting forces, and maximum chip thickness prior to machining; avoid under or over utilization of the cutting tool and machine; and speed up machining times by eliminating chatter; |
- Train process planners, designers, and application engineers on advanced machining methods and tools (software/hardware) to increase production on existing equipment; |
- Act as the liaison between various departments or group of companies, provide technical support and guidance to get projects completed in a timely and cost-effective manner; |
- Provide on-site/off-site engineering assistance to application engineers in troubleshooting machining related problems and help them deliver an effective corrective action; |
| - Characterize cutting tool performance with different work materials and identify cutting force coefficients. |

On-Site Training
MAL Inc. offers different on-site training options: 5 Day Advanced Machining Course, which is the same course offered at UBC. It covers the fundemetals of machining theory, sources of machine tool vibration and extensive hands-on training.
For CutPro customers, MAL Inc. offers 3-day CutPro training. It is an essential course and highly recommended in order to maximize the output of CutPro. I also includes extensive hands-on training.
For Shop-Pro customers, 1-2 days flexible training options are available. Our experts can train engineers and machine tool operators and can advise and discuss to tackle problems of specific applications.
Please contact us to receive more information on our training options. We can also set a custom training course for your needs.
Material characterization
CutPro allows the user to add their own material data very easily. However, extensive cutting tests and additional laboratory equipment is needed to characterize the material. In MAL Inc, we have the facilities and expertise to do this for the customers in our laboratories. This service has been provided quite often for industry. Please contact us if you want to use a material that is uncommon or not in CutPro material database.
