Case Study: BNL Bearings achieves faster tool design and production with Cimatron CADCAM

How BNL Bearings have used CADCAM to turn products around faster

The customer, BNL Bearings, a world leader in producing integrated plastic bearings, needed to gain better control and precision over the in-house design of its complex injection molds. Previously relying on external toolmakers who lacked specific expertise in plastic bearings, the company sought a more efficient process. They turned to the vendor, Cimatron, for its CADCAM software to bring the tool design and machining programming in-house.

By implementing Cimatron's Mold Design and 3D CAM packages, BNL Bearings gained full control over the dimensional development of its tools, resulting in a much quicker and easier design process. The solution from Cimatron provided an intuitive and efficient way to work, allowing BNL's skilled engineers to design innovative products and perfect its injection moulding techniques for high-precision bearings. This has enabled the company to advance its product offerings and maintain its leadership position.
