Challenge

Producing parts involving a high degree of complexity as a way of giving the company a competitive advantage over other tool shops
Finding the right technology for high precision product development
Achieving efficiencies across the board in terms of time, cost and labor

Solutions

Cimatron’s 5-Axis

Results

Accurate translation of imported data from a variety of standard and proprietary formats, as well as the ability to repair defects such as gaps and overlaps
Significant efficiencies resulting from templates and pre-set processes, as well as automatic programming that supports manual checking off every aspect of the processing if so desired
Precision in complex product development, such as the ability to create holes with a tolerance of 0.2 microns, obtaining surface roughness and special profiles, beams or bevels almost invisible to the naked eye
Certainty that the tool paths are fully tested and secure, thanks to Cimatron’s realistic simulations of the process of chip breaking
