Case Study: Oldenburg Metal Tech eliminates a programming step with Mastercam

Oldenburg Metal Tech - Customer Case Study

Oldenburg Metal Tech, Inc., a machine shop specializing in complex progressive stamping dies and components for the automotive and medical industries, faced challenges manufacturing parts with tight tolerances efficiently. Their hard milling processes were slowed by frequent tooling changes and breakages. To address this, they turned to Mastercam CAD/CAM software.

By implementing Mastercam, specifically its Mill and Dynamic Motion products, Oldenburg Metal Tech gained access to high-speed toolpaths and Dynamic Motion technology, which allowed their machines to run at maximum speeds while maintaining tool engagement. Key features like Model Prep eliminated an entire programming step by allowing on-the-fly modifications to 3D models. The solution cut machining times in half, enabled hard milling to extremely tight tolerances, and provided collision checking to prevent machine damage, allowing them to take on larger and more complex jobs.
