Case Study: Hearth & Home Technologies achieves 10-month ROI with JETCAM International

Hearth & Home Technologies - Customer Case Study

Hearth & Home Technologies, the world's leading producer of hearth products, faced challenges with their previous CAM system which generated inefficient nests, was slow, and unreliable. They sought a new system that could integrate with their existing MRP and Pro-E CAD software and better optimize material for their non-rectangular parts. This led them to evaluate solutions, including from vendor JETCAM International.

JETCAM implemented its Expert Premium software with the High Performance Nesting module. The solution integrated tightly with the company's legacy data systems and Pro-E CAD, enabling automatic data transfer and one-click file exports. The results were significant, yielding an ROI in just ten months from material savings alone. JETCAM's system also saved two hours of programming daily, improved average nest efficiency by 5.73%, and reduced machine cycle times, leading to greater overall throughput.
