Case Study: Magnuson Products speeds supercharger machining with Mastercam

Magnuson Products - Customer Case Study

Magnuson Products, a manufacturer of high-performance superchargers for the automotive industry, faced the challenge of machining intricate parts with superior finishes. Outsourcing led to long lead times and inconsistent quality, particularly for complex dovetail O-ring grooves in various materials. To gain control and improve their process, they invested in CNC equipment and implemented Mastercam Mill 3D, Multiaxis, and Lathe software.

The solution from Mastercam provided diverse toolpath options, including Dynamic Motion, for machining the challenging grooves. The software's Verify feature allowed programmers to simulate operations and simplify code, preventing errors. A partnership with Harvey Performance provided access to specialized tooling with optimized feeds and speeds. By combining these tools and Mastercam's flexible programming, the company doubled feed rates, shaved considerable time off machining processes, and now produces 80-90% of parts in-house, machining 3,000 to 4,000 parts monthly.
