Case Study: Aircelle reduces NC programming time with TopSolid'Cam from TopSolid

Aircelle - Customer Case Study

Aircelle, a manufacturer of engine nacelles within the Safran group, faced the challenge of harmonizing its CAM software across various sites. Their goal was to streamline operations to a single, expert level of software that was fully compatible with their existing Catia CAD system. After a rigorous selection process, they chose TopSolid’Cam from vendor Missler Software for its powerful functionalities and the vendor's commitment to specific development.

The solution from TopSolid involved implementing its TopSolid’Cam software, which featured advanced topological analysis for managing CAD model changes and seamless integration with other systems. This implementation led to a dramatic reduction in programming time. The complete programming cycle was slashed from five weeks to under two days, with the programming itself taking only half a day. This resulted in a 10% reduction in programming times and allowed Aircelle to mandate the software for all subcontractors, ensuring program ownership and processing efficiency.
