Case Study: The Bonnot Company achieves major machining efficiency gains with Hexagon EDGECAM

Custom processing-equipment manufacturer The Bonnot Company uses EDGECAM to manufacture complex screw geometries and state-of-the-art machinery

The Bonnot Company, a custom processing-equipment manufacturer, faced challenges in efficiently programming and machining complex screw geometries and one-off parts for its legacy machinery. To meet these modern manufacturing demands and reduce the risk of scrapping expensive components, they implemented the EDGECAM computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) solution from Hexagon.

Hexagon's EDGECAM provided advanced toolpath simulation and verification, which allowed Bonnot to confidently streamline operations and optimize cutting parameters. This solution delivered a significant decrease in production time, including an 80-hour reduction (from 240 to 160 hours) in milling a single large feed screw, leading to a more profitable part and greater overall manufacturing efficiency.
