Case Study: Duisburger Modellfabrik GmbH achieves collision-free CNC programming with Hexagon WORKNC

Model Maker programs its 5 Axis Milling Machines with WORKNC

Duisburger Modellfabrik GmbH, a model-making company, needed CAD/CAM software capable of programming its large 5-axis milling machines to produce massive, complex parts. The challenge was to find a solution that would generate completely collision-free toolpaths to ensure safety and quality, particularly for its work in the wind power industry, while also being accessible for users with varying levels of programming expertise.

The vendor, Hexagon, provided its WORKNC CAM software. The solution automated the creation of collision-free NC programs and allowed for full process simulation, which was critical for handling the company's large components. The results included significantly reduced programming times, the ability for novice users to create toolpaths quickly, and secure, efficient machining that fully utilized their 5-axis milling centers.
