The Adaptive Control for Metal Cutting (ADACOM) project is an EU funded venture
that commenced in 2009. The project aims to develop a generic modular adaptive control
platform that will allow metal cutting processes to respond to changing circumstances.

About ADACOM
There is a drive in industry to be able to machine lighter, more flexible and complex
components manufactured from innovative materials including titanium alloys, composites
and metal-composite materials.
However, the properties that have made these materials
attractive to designers are also the source of various problems, specifically those
which make them difficult to machine.
ADACOM strives to overcome these problems by developing software tools that connect
data to the product. For example, analysis of life cycle data could result in increased
tool life and reduction of waste. The memory of these benefits are held in an intelligent
adaptive control system...
