Third Wave Systems provides finite element-base process modeling technology specific to metal removal applications.  Engineers can run simulations and conduct analysis on various metal cutting problems using a computer, eliminating the need for extensive and costly testing and production runs.  More than 50 academic institutions worldwide currently hold licenses and conduct research incorporating this powerful modeling tool.

We have conducted our Short Course on Modeling Metal Cutting in association with the following institutions:

  • Fraunhofer IPT: Germany and Boston
  • The KTH Royal Institute, Sweden
  • The University of Birmingham, UK
  • Mondragon University, Spain
  • University of North Carolina, Charlotte
  • Georgia Tech University, Atlanta

To join our Academic Research Program, submit your one page proposal for research in one of the following areas:

  • Residual Stress Validation
  • Composite Materials
  • Cast Iron
  • Tool Wear
  • Coolants
  • Tool Coatings
  • Workpiece Material Modeling
  • Other
