“We have always done it that way.”

How many times have you heard this as the answer to the question “Why are you cutting that part in that manner?” This answer is not acceptable anymore for a company to be competitive in a global market. A manufacturing company must strive to make changes and adjustments that will help them produce parts in a more efficient and accurate manner. One solution to this problem is education. The goal of the Kennametal Knowledge Center is to assist manufacturers in not only staying competitive, but beating the competition by providing world class metalcutting education.

The Premier Source for Metalcutting Education

It is important to note that Knowledge Center believes that metalworking is a science and not an art. Principles and facts are the basis of what we teach and discuss, using a non-commercial delivery. Metalworking needs to be approached as a science and then we all will benefit.

There are many ways that the Knowledge Center can help deliver education to companies and they are – Comprehensive Application Engineering Courses, Industry and Application Specific Courses, Customer Onsite Programs and the online-based Certified Metalcutting Professional (CMP) program.

Comprehensive Application Engineering Courses

This non-commercial four-day seminar is intended to provide state-of-the-art information on lathe, milling and holemaking applications to mechanical engineers, manufacturing engineers, industrial engineers, tool engineers, process engineers, shop supervisors and technical specialists in machining.

In addition, this course includes a session on Lean Manufacturing.

Industry and Application Specific Courses

These non-commercial classes are designed specifically for the materials being manufactured in specific application areas. The seminars can be up to 2.5 days.

Customized On-site Programs

These non-commercial programs are presented at the request of a customer at the site of their choosing. They focus on the specific metalcutting topic(s) that are selected by the customer to improve their manufacturing competitiveness in those designated areas.

Education for Future Manufacturing Success

In manufacturing today, we must stay ahead of competition. We need to constantly be striving to be better at what we do. The ability to save time, increase productivity and save costs is critical to the success of all organizations.

In addition, with many in the manufacturing workforce getting ready to retire, we must have the remaining people be better than ever before at their jobs. The way to make sure this happens is through education. The Kennametal Knowledge Center is ready to be your Education Partner.
