Case Study: Bombardier Aerospace achieves faster CNC programming and material savings with JETCAM Expert

Bombardier Aerospace - Customer Case Study

Bombardier Aerospace's Belfast facility, a major aircraft manufacturer, faced high costs and limitations with its legacy UNIX-based programming system for CNC routing machines. Unable to justify the prohibitive upgrade expenses for their old system and a new machine, they sought a modern alternative. This led them to partner with vendor JETCAM International and implement the JETCAM Expert Premium software.

The solution from JETCAM provided automation, ease of use, and excellent graphical representation, which drastically reduced programming times by up to 90%. Results included material savings of 10-15%, a potential 166-hour saving from a software enhancement, and programming for twice the number of machines with 30% fewer resources. JETCAM also delivered a 50% reduction in annual support costs and significantly less demand for technical assistance.
