CAM Package Unlocks Turn-Mill Capabilities
While multi-spindle turn-mill machines can improve productivity by enabling users to machine parts complete in one setup, fully realizing their benefits requires a CAM package that is capable of synchronizing multiple spindles. With Delcam’s FeatureCAM software, cutting tool manufacturer Parlec eliminated the time-consuming process of programming each spindle of its turn-mill machines separately before manually synchronizing them on the shop floor.

Software Aids Transition To Production Mindset
Over the years, aerospace manufacturer Costa Precision has developed a reputation for taking on large, complex parts that other shops can’t handle. However, overly optimistic customer expectations and lengthy cycle times led Costa to struggle with generating revenue on the manufacturing side of its business. With a new production-oriented mindset and CAD/CAM software from Mastercam, the shop was able to maintain the high precision for which it is known while improving manufacturing efficiency and profitability.

CAD/CAM Software Reduces Time, Errors
The latest version of PartMaker CAD/CAM software allows users to integrate a solid model into a programming window and assign tool paths directly to the model. Critical manufacturing data is automatically retrieved from a solid model using the software’s new “Extract Parameters from Solids” feature. This saves time and reducing the chance for error by eliminating redundant data entry, the company says.
