Frustrated by the degree of manual programming process in production metal machining. The industry exists largely on inertia. I would like to resolve this by applying standard optimization algorithms to a set of known machining strategies plus machine, work-holding, material, part and tool inputs. Have already analyzed the problem space to some extent and will be touring a huge production facility next week to better understand best-in-class processes from large established players. Need someone to either wrap existing simulation algorithms (any CAM system) or write enough of one (not that hard, the solution space is extremely multivariate but well understood and well documented) to make it feasible (not too hard for 2.5D machining). You can get as intellectual as you like in the solution, but remember perfect is the enemy of done. Value is huge, happy to split equity on a new entity to resolve if a workable solution for the easier subset of parts emerges in the next few weeks.
