Case Study: Carolina Precision Components boosts programming productivity with Mastercam

Carolina Precision Components - Customer Case Study

Carolina Precision Components, a job shop, faced a challenge in keeping its programming productivity on pace with its rapid growth in work volume. This prevented them from taking on complex mold and die work and often forced programmers to start over after backing themselves into a corner when programming manually at the machine. To address this, the company implemented Mastercam's CAD for CAM software, including its Mill, Multiaxis, Lathe, and Dynamic Motion products.

With the Mastercam solution, programmers gained the ability to select features from models to automatically generate toolpaths and use simulation to ensure accuracy and safety. The implementation of Mastercam's Dynamic Motion technology dramatically reduced roughing cycles by up to 50% and lowered cutting tool costs. These efficiencies allowed the shop's three programmers to support 37 CNC machines, improved their ability to quote jobs, and made the company's quality and pricing so competitive that it captured new business.
