Case Study: Mallory Industries achieves safer, faster aerospace machining with Mastercam

Mallory Industries - Customer Case Study

Mallory Industries, a specialist in precision machining for the aerospace sector, faced the challenge of fulfilling demanding customer orders while minimizing the high costs of tool breakage, machine damage, and part errors. To grow their business, they invested in powerful CNC and EDM machinery but needed a way to verify the machining process would be safe and accurate before any metal was cut. They turned to the vendor, Mastercam, utilizing its Mill, Lathe, Multiaxis, and Dynamic toolpath products for a solution.

The solution was implemented using Mastercam's verification and Dynamic Motion technology. This allowed programmers to simulate and verify all toolpaths, check for collisions, and analyze part tolerances entirely within the software before sending a job to the shop floor. The results were significant: Mallory successfully machined extremely complex parts like a helicopter dashboard frame, reducing a 275-pound aluminum block to a 9-pound finished product. Mastercam enabled them to take on previously impossible jobs, drastically reduce tool breakage, and achieve faster throughput with flawless production runs.
