Built Around Real Manufacturing Experience
Applied Manufacturing Concepts was built around solving real manufacturing challenges through practical experience and direct involvement.
​
After more than 25 years in manufacturing and over 20 years in CNC programming, I started AMC to help manufacturers improve efficiency, optimize machining processes, and solve complex production challenges.
​
Specializing in 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC programming using Siemens NX and Mastercam, AMC supports aerospace and complex manufacturing environments where reliability, consistency, and efficiency are critical.
​
Rather than offering generic recommendations, I focus on practical manufacturing solutions that improve real-world production performance.
How We Work
A structured approach focused on understanding your process, identifying opportunities for improvement, and validating results.
Initial Consultation
Every project begins with a conversation focused on understanding your current process, production goals, and manufacturing challenges.
On-Site Evaluation
For projects requiring deeper analysis, I perform an on-site review of tooling, setups, machine capabilities, and overall process strategy.
Process Optimization
Optimized programming and machining strategies are developed to improve efficiency, reliability, throughput, and machining performance.
Final Prove-Out
Projects conclude with on-site support to review the updated process and ensure the final solution meets expectations.
Real Manufacturing Results
Case Study: Reducing Setup Time and Operator Dependency
Problem
Operators required engineering support to adjust the program based on CMM results.
Setup took multiple days and required several trial parts to achieve a conforming result.
Solution
Developed three custom programs that allowed operators to input measurement data directly from CMM reports.
These programs automatically calculated and applied the required adjustments.
Results
-
Setup reduced from multiple days to a single day
-
Trial parts reduced to 3 or fewer
-
Eliminated need for constant engineering support
