Case Study: 17D Miniatures boosts precision and speed with Hexagon EDGECAM

17d Miniatures - Customer Case Study

17D Miniatures, a manufacturer of scaled working model trains, sought to expand its services to offer machined components for hobbyists and other model-making companies. To achieve this, they needed a more powerful and efficient CAM solution. They implemented EDGECAM from Hexagon to modernize their manufacturing process and meet this new business challenge.

By adopting Hexagon's EDGECAM software, 17D Miniatures was able to machine parts directly from solid block material instead of relying on castings, greatly increasing precision. The solution allowed them to triple feed rates and cut significantly deeper, making the process faster and more accurate. This enabled the company to profitably offer a new component machining service to enthusiasts and confidently expand into manufacturing parts for model cars, boats, and aircraft.
