Case Study: Sharp Tooling Solutions boosts complex fixture programming with Hexagon WORKNC

Leading fixture supplier Sharp Tooling Solutions uses WORKNC to produce complex prototypes and check fixtures for the automotive, aerospace and defense industries

Sharp Tooling Solutions, a fixture supplier for the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries, needed a more robust CNC programming solution to produce its complex and precise prototypes and check fixtures. Their previous system could not meet all of their demanding programming needs, prompting them to seek a new vendor. They selected Hexagon's WORKNC CAM software for its advanced capabilities.

Hexagon's WORKNC solution provided Sharp Tooling with efficient roughing, finishing, re-machining, and 5-axis programming. The software's automated features, like the drilling manager, cut programming time for holes by over 50%. The re-machining and dynamic 3D stock management capabilities increased machining efficiency and ensured quality. These improvements from Hexagon allowed Sharp to maintain its competitive edge while handling complex, multi-setup parts.
