Case Study: BD-Micro achieves faster CNC production of aerospace parts with MecSoft VisualMILL for SolidWorks

BD-Micro - Customer Case Study

MecSoft Corporation's customer, BD-Micro, an experimental aircraft kit manufacturer, faced the challenge of designing and producing high-precision, complex components for their jet-powered planes. Their lead engineer required a reliable and adaptable CAM solution that could handle a wide range of aerospace materials and work seamlessly within their existing SolidWorks design environment.

MecSoft implemented VisualMILL for SolidWorks, which integrated directly into BD-Micro's workflow. The solution allowed for the efficient creation of high-quality toolpaths from complex 3D models, enabling the rapid revision of parts and the successful machining of intricate components like the instrument panel and a two-sided angle of attack vane. The result was a streamlined production process that delivered the precision required for aerospace applications, with the engineer praising the software's speed and quality as a perfect fit for the company's needs.
