Value Added Engineering

Successful forgings begin long before steel reaches the hammer or press. Milwaukee ForgeTech's engineering team works with customers early in the design process to optimize forged components for manufacturability, performance, and cost.

Using CAD/CAM technology and more than 113 years of forging experience, we help develop components that are easier to manufacture, require less machining, and perform reliably in demanding industrial applications.

Whether you're developing a new component or improving an existing design, our engineering team works alongside yours to identify practical manufacturing solutions before production begins.

Design for Manufacturability

Every forging begins with careful engineering.

Our engineers use Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software to develop accurate 3D models, evaluate component geometry, and optimize designs before tooling is produced.

By reviewing manufacturability early in the process, we can help:

• Reduce production costs

• Improve grain flow within the forging

• Optimize material usage

• Improve overall component performance

• Reduce unnecessary machining

Our goal is not simply to manufacture the component you've designed—we work with you to identify opportunities to improve manufacturability and long-term performance.

CAD/CAM Integration

Once a design has been finalized, CAD data transitions directly into our Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) system to support tooling development and CNC machining.

This workflow helps improve accuracy throughout production while reducing programming time and minimizing opportunities for error.

Integrated CAD/CAM technology allows Milwaukee ForgeTech to:

• Generate accurate CNC toolpaths

• Improve tooling consistency

• Reduce programming time

• Accelerate tooling production

• Maintain tight dimensional requirements

Optimizing Every Forging
