Time is of the utmost importance for machine shops. The faster you complete jobs, the higher your revenue. For NC programmers, that not only means producing toolpaths quickly but producing toolpaths that run fast. At the end of the day, machine shops are only as profitable as the number of jobs you complete. But taking on too many orders and failing to complete them - or to meet customer specifications - can cause long term damage to your trust and credibility. The only way a job shop can assure profitability is to fill its roster, perform quality work, and move each job through in a timely manner.
That straightforward formula for job-shop success puts NC programmers under pressure to get toolpath creation done quickly and done well. Programmers and the manufacturers they work for have long relied on computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software, but now they’re asking more from their CAM programs than ever before.
In this ebook, learn how new advanced techniques can help you achieve your machining goals. These include high-speed machining, feature-based machining, toolpath simulation, and working associatively with designs from any computer-aided design (CAD) application.
