Case Study: X-Cel Tooling boosts precision machining and efficiency with Mastercam

CAD/CAM Innovation Helps Shop Compete and Improve in Evolving Transfer and Progressive and Die Industry

X-Cel Tooling, a manufacturer of precision tooling for industries like automotive and appliances, faced a challenge with outdated machining capabilities. Their previous CAD/CAM software was slow and could not keep up with client demands for more precision or utilize innovative toolpath strategies, making them feel uncompetitive.

The company implemented Mastercam as their new CAD/CAM solution. This provided them with advanced toolpaths like Dynamic Milling and OptiRough for high-speed material removal and precision. The results included drastically faster feeds and speeds, the ability to use more efficient tooling, and fewer errors thanks to simulation features. Mastercam streamlined their entire shop floor operation across their CNC, wire EDM, and laser machines.
