Case Study: Loper Machine boosts machining efficiency and multiaxis flexibility with Mastercam

Loper Machine - Customer Case Study

The customer, Loper Machine LLC, faced the challenge of starting a new machining business that required versatile and efficient programming software to handle complex jobs for aerospace and consumer goods clients on a diverse array of multi-axis machines. To meet this need, they turned to the vendor, Mastercam, utilizing its Mill product for CNC programming.

By implementing Mastercam, Loper Machine gained a powerful and flexible solution. The software's features, such as OptiRough toolpaths and extensive tool libraries, allowed them to efficiently remove material, program for various machines from 3- to 5-axis, and successfully machine difficult materials like titanium. This resulted in reduced cycle times, the ability to competitively price jobs, and the capacity to take on complex work, such as a "5-axis required" job they completed on a 4-axis machine. The reliability of Mastercam's software supported the growth of their successful shop.
