Case Study: Marton Precision Manufacturing reduces programming time and avoids collisions with Hexagon NCSIMUL

Space tech specialist opts for NCSIMUL simulation over dry runs

Marton Precision Manufacturing, a company specializing in large precision machined components for the space and aerospace industries, faced challenges with inefficient and costly dry runs on their CNC machines. Their machinist would spend significant time manually checking for collisions and errors, which often required purchasing extra material. They sought a solution from vendor Hexagon to address these issues.

Hexagon implemented its NCSIMUL machine simulation software, which was customized for Marton's specific machine tools. The solution provided accurate G-code verification and collision avoidance, which eliminated the need for physical dry runs and backup materials. The results were significant, reducing programming time from up to 16 hours to just 2 hours and providing substantial cost savings, giving the team complete confidence in their machining process.
