A Hexagon Case Study
Uni-Fab Industries, a precision sheet-metal specialist, sought to maintain its competitive edge and ensure quality by handling complex machining work in-house instead of outsourcing. To achieve this, the company relied on its investment in skilled employees and utilized SURFCAM Traditional CAD/CAM software from Hexagon to program its CNC machinery for intricate parts.
The solution from Hexagon, SURFCAM Traditional, provided specialized toolpaths like 3D undercut machining and TRUEMill, which allowed Uni-Fab to drastically reduce setups, save time, and protect tools. The software's simulation capabilities also ensured error-free code was sent to machines. As a result, Uni-Fab gained a greater ability to eliminate outsourcing, solve complex part challenges efficiently, and improve overall sheet utilization with integrated nesting software.
