Case Study: Fim‑Premec achieves faster, high‑precision production and seamless CAD conversion with 3D Systems (CimatronE)

Fim-premec Builds Even Faster Production Times With Cimatron 5-axis Machining Software

FIM‑PREMec, based in Modena, Italy, is a high‑precision prototype and mold maker serving automotive (especially motorsports), biomedical, packaging, gear motors and aerospace sectors. Founded in 2000 through a merger and operating to UNI EN ISO 9001 / EN 9100 standards, the company faced tight delivery windows, demanding surfacing quality, reliable conversion of diverse 3D data (IGES, STEP, CATIA) and a need for better process control.

FIM‑PREMec implemented CimatronE’s 5‑Axis, which automatically optimizes toolpaths, improves surface quality and reduces cycle times and costs. The system handles solid, surface and wireframe geometry with fast processing that eases NC programmers’ workload, provides smooth data transfer with correction of conversion issues, and combines automation with the flexibility to switch to manual processes when needed.
