Matching Geometry to Operation
        ISCAR has implemented modelling
        practices that allow R&D
        engineers to determine which
        insert geometry is appropriate
        for which operation, even at the
        design stage. When designing
        the CNMG 120404-F3P turning
        insert, for example, it was found
        that simulating cutting action was
        useful for shaping the insert’s
        top surface.
