Case Study: Hi-Con Technocast achieves 30–35% productivity gains with Solid Edge and CAM Express

Casting manufacturer sees productivity gains of 30 to 35 percent using Solid Edge and CAM Express

Hi‑Con Technocast, an India‑based investment casting manufacturer serving pumps, valves, automotive, medical and oil & gas markets, faced long cycle times and customer risk because die design was outsourced. To bring die design in‑house and speed development, Hi‑Con evaluated CAD/CAM options and selected Solid Edge and CAM Express from Siemens Digital Industries Software for their tight integration and Parasolid‑based synchronous technology.

Using Solid Edge with synchronous modeling and integrated CAM Express for NC programming, Hi‑Con implemented in‑house die design and machining workflows. The Solid Edge solution delivered measurable results — productivity gains of 30–35 percent, reduced cycle time, improved product quality and a stronger competitive position with customers.
