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
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
