Machining Innovations Conference for Aerospace Industry
Current developments and best practices
In the exhibition area at this year's conference, you had the opportunity to meet our Head of Product Development, Dr.-Ing. Stefan Hannich , and Harry Schneipel, Head of Design. They brought along Pokolm's premiumtools Spinworx®, Squareworx® porcupine cutters, and solid carbide end mills and discussed current developments and best practices in aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel machining with the expert audience. Pokolm has specifically optimized its tool systems for these materials and presented practical solutions for efficient and reliable machining at MIC2026.
Once again, this year's event was hosted by the Hannover Center for Production Technology (PZH). Together with the IFW, Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Machine Tools, the PZH brings together eight institutes from Leibniz University Hannover. Experts from industry and science traveled to the event to discuss ideas, challenges, and trends relating to sustainability, recycling of solid carbide tools, additive manufacturing, and digitalization.
“MIC in Hanover is an excellent event for engaging with the industry. We presented our new tools for aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel machining and were able to gather valuable feedback. There was particular interest in the Spinworx® tool system.”
