The world's aircraft industry is maintaining a high rate of growth of 5% per year with economic growth in emerging countries and the development of globalization. Besides, aiming for improvement in fuel efficiency, CFRP, titanium and Al-Li alloy are being applied to aircrafts to make the airframe lighter. They are called difficult-to-cut materials, and the establishment of new technologies for high speed machining is necessary. In April 2013, CMI, a project through industry-university-government collaboration was launched. CMI has a slogan, 3S (Science, Speed, Same Target), and active researches are conducted.
In this symposium, we will introduce to you the current market outlook, technology trends and also the participation of small and medium-sized companies in CMI activities.
