Tools may run faster with PCD, thanks to its sharper edges and subsequently reduced friction, paired with its high thermal conductivity. This means that CFRP stacks with aluminum and titanium can be drilled at twice the speed* without risking the problems linked to overheating of the work piece.

The Indexable Inserts Published Research Report is divided into sections according to product type. Each section contains data and analysis based market criteria, such as global demand by country, market/technology overview, end-user industry demand, application, product subtypes, and competitive environment.

With 20 years experience in the cutting tools industry, Dedalus Consulting's intelligence coverage offers the most comprehensive data and analysis available. This intelligence dataset focuses on the global market for indexable inserts which represents the majority of demand within the cutting tool industry.

For machining the newest generation of composite materials, Aero-Dianamics™ is a proven cost-effective solution. Examples illustrating this are outlined below. Further tests are ongoing, whilst the below are taken from current testing.

Milling and drilling are the two portfolios of Element Six’s Aero-Dianamics™ range. They are comprised of three production-ready product configurations.

Break through boundaries in aerospace tool design and discover new geometries with Element Six PCD round tool blanks.

These composite tooling solutions are next-generation, eradicating the need for coated tungsten carbide tools in fabricating composite components.

Of all materials in industrial use, PCD is the hardest man-made material, far exceeding the wear-resistance of tungsten carbide.

The indexable inserts dataset provides quantitative data and qualitative analysis on the global market by country, end-user industry, tool type, workpiece material, grade, and competitors.

Tool life is extended by a factor of at least 10* times with the employment of PCD, as well as maintaining maximum sharpness throughout the tool’s life.

The 787 Boeing Dreamliner uses 50% CFRP composites by weight, for fuselage, wings, stabiliser, fin, control surfaces and nacelles.  Aerospace’s overall use of CFRP is predicted to grow to 23,000 tonnes by 2020 - a 14% increase p.a.*

Aero-Dianamics™ Planar and Chevron tools vastly lessen the total price of drilling 10,000 holes compared to competitor veined PCD, CVD and tungsten carbide tools.

Dedalus Consulting® offers its products under several user licenses which allow for access and use of the data and analyses presented.

As airframe weight drives the aircraft operational economy, the global aerospace industry is turning towards CFRP. There are multiple benefits offered by CFRP, such as:

Dedalus Consulting's experience goes beyond our off-the-shelf published datasets and research reports. Much of our experience includes delivering custom intelligence reports based on a client's objectives. Parameters typically include market breakdowns by products, country, competitor, and end-user demand.

Consistent hole and edge quality are produced by PCD drills and end mills for much longer, as compared to coated carbide tools.

Productivity is guaranteed for tool makers with these market-leading Aero-Dianamics™ tool blanks, by creating semi-finished tool materials and enabling rapid creation. Productivity is ensured for aerospace customers by significantly speeding up production of CFRP components.

New technology is required to machine these new durable, strong, lightweight and fibrous materials. Element Six's Aero-Dianamics™ range of Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) round tool blanks is a revolutionary technology that allows the tool designer to attain geometries to precisely match the customers’ milling and drilling requirements, a previously impossible task.

The eradication of lengthy reworking of holes and edges, combined with longer intervals between tool changes hugely lessens machine downtime.

Tool designers can now break through existing obstacles of PCD tool design with these innovative PCD tool geometries, such as:

Aero-Dianamics™ Helix tools significantly lessen the total time required to mill 10,000 meters when contrasted with tools of uncoated tungsten carbide and competitor flute PCD.

Dedalus Consulting employs all current market and competitive intelligence techniques in order to ensure comprehensive research and analysis. This includes primary and secondary research.

Quantitative and qualitative analysis is presented for 2023 through 2029. The Ulysses database contains market data for the years 2004-2029.

CFRP airframe components can be produced faster and more efficiently , thanks to the ability to mill and drill CFRP faster, at lower temperatures, more cleanly and with lower tool forces. This efficiency means that finished components can be delivered for assembly with shorter lead times, which permits airplane manufacturers to have a shorter delivery schedule for customers.
