This week Justin sits down with Dr. Yavuz Murtezaoglu, the mind behind ModuleWorks, whose toolpath algorithms quietly run inside most CAM systems on the planet. From hacking five-axis machining on a 486 processor in the ’90s to leading a 400-person company at the cutting edge of CAD/CAM and AI, Yavuz has seen it all. They talk about the wild early days of “visual collision control” (spoiler: if it crashes in the sim, don’t run it), why mesh vs. NURBS still matters, how deburring became a sleeper hit, and where automation and AI might take manufacturing next. It’s a conversation full of history, humor, and big ideas about the future of making things.
