The techniques and philosophy of Quality by Design are now being widely embraced by pharmaceutical and other manufacturing companies.  Instead of a system that assures the quality of the finished product after production, the manufacturing plant is designed, monitored, operated and optimised to achieve or exceed quality targets from the start.  The result is less waste, more right-first-time product, less time to scale up from development to full production, and lower operating costs.

“My ultimate goal was to be a better Engineering leader. I progressed my own Engineering knowledge in a work-based environment by pushing for projects proactively that I may not have been suitable for without the online learning support. This led to a great deal of visibility and positive recognition, whilst expanding my network. I have also gained experience to apply for Chartered Engineer Status (CEng) something that I can now do following the completion of the course.”   Matthew Day, MSc Professional Engineering.

The Swiss Cutting Tool manufacturer Mikron Tool presents a new 4-flute Finishing Milling Cutter with shank integrated cooling, available in the diameter range of 1-8 mm, for milling depths of up to 5xd. This milling cutter is suitable for machining all materials up to a hardness of 54 HRC, focusing on stainless steels, titanium, heat resistant alloys based on nickel and chrome-cobalt-alloys. Hence it is not surprising that these tools are especially convincing with highest performances when working with these materials. All characteristics of the new milling tool are designed to reach highest milling performance as well as best surface quality. Primarily, this means that due to poor heat conductivity of stainless and heat resistant materials, overheating of the tool cutting edges must be avoided. Several factors are instrumental.
