Case Study: Oticon achieves faster mold design and prototype turnaround with Cimatron

Oticon Builds Sigificant Productivity Gains with Cimatron Software

Oticon, a hearing aid manufacturer, faced significant challenges in designing molds for extremely small and complex parts that required up to 200 electrodes while maintaining the highest quality standards. They also needed a unified CAD/CAM solution to seamlessly connect their geographically dispersed R&D and tool shop departments. Oticon found their solution in Cimatron's software, which included applications like MoldDesign, NC, and QuickElectrode.

After rigorous testing, Cimatron was selected. The implementation led to a quick ramp-up after only three days of training and delivered substantial measurable gains. Oticon achieved a 30-60% reduction in electrode design time, a 40% time-saving in prototype design, and seamless inter-departmental operations. Cimatron’s solution enabled Oticon to shorten turnaround times, improve product quality, and consistently meet tight deadlines.
