Aramill Main Site

AraMill Inc. is a company founded by Dr. Maryam Aramesh that commercializes patented Dry-Cut solid-lubricant coating technology developed through research at McMaster University. The technology enables industrial dry machining by eliminating the need for liquid coolants while reducing friction and improving performance. The company focuses on bringing sustainable, high-performance metalworking solutions to the global metalworking industry.

AraMill was born from a question about why modern manufacturing still relies on messy, environmentally harmful liquid lubricants. Years of research at McMaster University led to the patented ultra-soft solid-lubricant coating designed to reduce friction and improve machining performance.

The company lists sections for home, about, technology, applications, and contact on its website. The site also includes a contact form and a direct email address for technical inquiries about Dry-Cut.

The patented technology is protected by US Patent #11,389,879 and has been supported by NSERC funding. More than 10 peer-reviewed publications have been published regarding the technology.

Some reviewers say the technology reduces tool wear, cutting forces, and operating cost. The company claims to achieve 2x tool life improvement, 50% cutting force reduction, and 1.5x productivity improvement.

The company claims to reduce operating costs by 30%, lower machine downtime by 50%, and increase productivity by 50%. They also claim a 30% reduction in energy costs by lowering cutting forces and eliminating coolant pumps.

The technology reduces friction and cutting resistance at the tool–chip interface, improving tool life, surface integrity, and machining efficiency. It also reduces work-hardening and enables faster machining with more stable production.

The company aims to eliminate hazardous lubricant handling, coolant waste, and shop-floor contamination to create a cleaner and safer work environment. This approach also reduces scrap part costs and production interruptions.

The company provides a general inquiry form for partnership opportunities, product information, and support requests. They also offer a direct email for technical questions about Dry-Cut if specific details like machining application and material are included.

The company is led by Dr. Maryam Aramesh, who serves as the founder and CEO. The technology is branded as Dry-Cut and is designed for high-speed machining using solid lubrication.
