Sandvik Coromant will present its comprehensive approach to solving real-world manufacturing and metalworking challenges at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS), held September 14–19, 2026, in Chicago. Exhibiting at booth #338348, the company invites attendees to bring their toughest shop floor problems for expert consultation. Specialists will be available to collaborate on specific challenges spanning the entire manufacturing value chain, offering guidance on design, process planning, production logistics, tool selection, CAM programming, and machine investment.
Interactive Digital Experiences and Manufacturing Wellness
The exhibit will feature advanced digital experiences, including an interactive 3D component simulation table that demonstrates the machining of complex parts—such as aero engine casings and fracking blocks—for the aerospace, automotive, and energy sectors. Visitors can also experience an immersive virtual reality tour of the company's North Carolina production facility to see its data-driven tooling approach in action. Furthermore, Sandvik Coromant will introduce its "manufacturing wellness" concept, offering visitors assessments based on eight operational habits designed to help machine shops eliminate waste and build more resilient, efficient operations.
Additional Context
This section provides technological and market background not explicitly detailed in the original release.
The manufacturing industry is increasingly shifting away from isolated physical tooling sales toward integrated, data-driven operational partnerships. As machine shops face severe skilled labor shortages and rising demands for extreme precision in sectors like aerospace and electromobility, adopting a holistic approach is critical. By leveraging digital twins, advanced CAM process simulation, and virtual reality training, tooling providers are now acting as strategic consultants. Concepts like "manufacturing wellness" reflect a broader Industry 4.0 trend where physical tools are tightly coupled with software and logistics to maximize machine uptime, reduce scrap rates, and optimize Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
