Groveley: IT investment boosts 3D CAD-CAM

[Photography and online PR for Groveley Precision Engineering]


A £2.5k IT investment is enabling us to handle 3D modelling and CAD-CAM at the same time, for greater efficiency in preparation and manufacturing.

Twin screens permit dual function such as running a 3D simulation of a complex component while working on a completely different CAD job.

Faster processing and better graphics also allow us to use full 5-axis CAD software within the Edgecam CAD-CAM 3D CNC package.

Edgecam enables us to accurately produce complex parts direct from a customer’s solid model. And because its programmes contain less CNC machinery idle time, our efficiency, lead times, competitive edge and pricing are constantly being enhanced.


The package creates coding for CNC machinery programmes, saving many hours of manual programming and engineering time. Latest manufacturing strategies are utilised – essential for manufacturing complex components which are virtually impossible to programme longhand.
