Case Study: Quest Aircraft cuts material use and programming time with JETCAM Expert

Quest Aircraft Company - Customer Case Study

Quest Aircraft, a manufacturer of light aircraft, faced significant challenges with their previous CAM system, including a faulty nesting module that failed with updates, time-consuming manual tooling, and inefficient material usage. They engaged JETCAM International to implement its JETCAM Expert Premium system to automate and streamline their sheet metal programming and nesting processes.

By implementing JETCAM's solution with its high-performance nesting, the vendor enabled Quest to move from DXF files to a complete nest in just minutes, automating tooling that previously took 20 minutes per part. This resulted in material savings of up to 50% and a dramatic reduction in scrap output. JETCAM's system was so straightforward that an operator could run it without needing a dedicated programmer, and it generated reliable NC code that also reduced machine cycle times.
