One of my programmed parts was featured in the Paris Air Show of 2023

We build a bulkhead for a business Jet.  It's flat on one side with pockets on the other.  In the past, we have scraped many out of TOL. from warpage.  Recently, I re-programmed this part with success and little distortion.  Constellium, our material supplier was impressed with the part and asked to purchase one of these to take to the show.  Of course, we requested permission from the OEM.  They did grant permission as well as instructions to modify the part and rivet a name plate.  This was displayed in there area of the Paris Air Show 2023. I am proud of this work.  

Thanks for reading,

I saw that on your LinkedIn page. Pretty cool accomplishment. We don't do parts anywhere near as large as y'all, but we do have a different process to guard against distortion. I don't think it would work well in production parts, but as we generally use it for one offs it works well enough for us.

I really liked your post on the causes & solutions.

Congratulations. It is nice when things we make can be shown to others.

If it's good enough for the 6 million dollar man, it's more than good enough for me

Congratulations - nice work!

That's really impressive. Can you give any information on what you changed in the re-programming process to help the part from distorting?
