Case Study: Schupan & Sons cuts cycle times with Mastercam Multiaxis

Schupan & Sons - Customer Case Study

Schupan & Sons, a metal service center and job shop, sought to optimize its machining operations by reducing cycle times on complex parts that historically required three or four separate operations. To meet this challenge, the company chose to implement multiaxis machining capabilities using Mastercam's CAD/CAM software.

By utilizing Mastercam's Multiaxis and Dynamic Motion toolpaths, Schupan significantly decreased cycle times, sometimes up to three times faster in steel, while also improving part accuracy and tool life. The solution was supported by their local Mastercam reseller, who provided vital post-processing and troubleshooting assistance. These advancements allowed Schupan to machine complex aerospace components like aluminum shrouds in a single operation, achieving superior surface finishes and greatly increasing production efficiency.
