About Productive Machines
Productive Machines builds software that sets optimal feed rates and spindle speeds for CNC machining before parts are cut. Its SenseNC Feeds and SenseNC Finesse apps integrate with Siemens NX CAM and Mastercam, and use a digital twin and stability map to eliminate chatter vibrations across a toolpath. TapStarter combines tap-testing hardware, software and training with a library of frequency response data to optimise simple milling cuts independent of CAM.
Customers are machine shops and manufacturers, including aerospace and medical companies; the website names AML as a customer. The company sells annual subscriptions priced per CAM seat or per machine tool covered. TapStarter is listed at £9,750 for year one and a £5,000 annual software renewal, with hardware delivered in 4 to 8 weeks.
Productive Machines was founded in 2019 and spun out from the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre in 2021. It is headquartered in Rotherham, with its team based at the Advanced Manufacturing Park Technology Centre. The website states the company has raised a cumulative £3m in investment. Its founder and CEO is Dr Erdem Ozturk.
Product: SenseNC Feeds, SenseNC Finesse and TapStarter: CNC toolpath feed and speed optimisation software, with tap-testing hardware for TapStarter.
