Case Study: Gira achieves error-free, faster and lower-cost electrode production with 3D Systems' CimatronE

Gira Delivers Error-Free Electrode Production with Cimatron CAD/CAM Software

Gira, a Radevormwald, Germany–based maker of building and home electrical products founded in 1905, employs around 900 people and is known for energy‑efficient, award‑winning designs. The company faced challenges designing complex electrodes and needed to cut quoting, mold design and NC programming costs and lead times, gain better process control, and automate repetitive tasks to stay competitive.

Gira implemented CimatronE’s 4‑ and 5‑axis tools and its automated Electrode solution, which integrated design and production workflows. The result was error‑free production, significant time and cost savings, enhanced electrode designs through powerful automation, and the flexibility to switch to manual processes when bespoke work was required.
