DSI & Haas Demo Day 2026
Where the manufacturing community comes together to learn cutting-edge CAM strategies, streamline setups, and maximize machine efficiency.
April 23, 2026
Brookfield, WI
Morning Session: Mastering the Setup
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Focus: Precision & Standardization
- Zero Point Workholding: Learn how Haas Zero Point systems can transform your changeover times from minutes to seconds.
- The Power of Templates: We’ll demonstrate how CAM Templates and Template Files eliminate repetitive tasks, ensuring faster programming and consistent setups every time.
- Machine Simulation: See the benefits of "proving out" in the software rather than on the machine to prevent crashes and maximize uptime.
- 4th Axis Tombstones: Strategies for high-density workholding to get more parts per cycle.
- Morning Q&A: Get your specific workholding and programming questions answered by the pros.
Afternoon Session: Smart Manufacturing & Automation
12:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Focus: Real-Time Data & Closed-Loop Machining
- Live Connect: Experience the power of real-time machine monitoring and data integration.
- Driving WCS: Learn how to reduce setup time by using a Driving Work Coordinate System to automate part positioning.
- Inspection – Cut, Measure, Cut: Stop guessing. Learn how to use in-process probing to measure parts and update offsets automatically for perfect first-article results.
- Advanced Part Alignment: Techniques for handling complex castings or misaligned stock with ease.
- Wrap-up & Q&A: A final deep dive into the day’s topics to ensure you're ready to implement these tools immediately.
