Case Study: Hi-Tech Machining Company streamlines complex machining with Mastercam

Hi-Tech Machining Company - Customer Case Study

Hi-Tech Machining Company, a tool and die manufacturer, faced the challenge of machining a complex, multi-angled fork plate simply and efficiently. Their goal was to eliminate programming errors, save time, and reduce tool wear on their endmills. To overcome this, they utilized Mastercam's Mill, Lathe, and Wire CAD/CAM software.

The solution from Mastercam provided powerful modeling and simulation features. The software's Solids functionality allowed for on-the-fly manipulation of the 3D model to handle various angles, while the Verify feature enabled programmers to simulate the entire operation and streamline the code. As a direct result, Mastercam helped consolidate operations, allowing the entire part to be machined with a single 3/8” endmill, which significantly improved manufacturing productivity and reduced setup time.
