Japan’s manufacturing scene is facing an array of technical/engineering challenges of today as markets increasingly demand the adoption of high-mix, low-volume production, difficult and complex machining technologies, new materials, and micro-machining. How do industry players apply technologies they’ve accumulated over the years to satisfy today’s technological demands while setting themselves apart from their competitors?

MECT 2023 offers visitors the opportunity to see unique and highly advanced machining technologies that are rarely presented to the public under the theme “Machining Extraordinaire.” Machining demonstrations by three companies present clues to how industry players can satisfy demanding engineering needs, allowing for a closer look at the potential and future of machining.
