We take hold of advanced engineering as it emerges – and our £20k investment in 3D CNC software earlier this year is proving a successful part of our strategy to remain lean, effective and fast-moving.
The CAD-CAM programmes enable us to work smarter while manufacturing increasingly complex components. And because our resulting programming contain less CNC machinery idle time, our efficiency, lead times and competitive edge are enhanced.
The process starts by accurately producing CAD direct from 3D scanning of a customer’s solid model, including even its positioning within a given CNC machine.
It directly creates coding for CNC machinery programmes, saving many hours of manual programming and engineering time. The programme utilises latest manufacturing strategies that are essential for manufacturing complex components which can be virtually impossible to programme longhand.
From start to finish, the whole process is faster – even quotations, because cost estimates can be calculated direct from the original 3D scan.
