Case Study: Bunorm AG achieves complete in-house turbine production with TopSolid'Cam

Bunorm AG - Customer Case Study

The customer, Bunorm AG, a Swiss engineering company, needed to manufacture complex tubular turbines for small hydroelectric power plants. Their challenge was to produce highly precise components, particularly the difficult-to-machine blades, which required advanced 5-axis milling and collision-free programming. To achieve this, they utilized the TopSolid'Cam CAM system from vendor TopSolid.

TopSolid's solution provided Bunorm with the advanced 5-axis milling strategies and realistic machine simulation needed to program and safely mill the turbine blades from solid material. This allowed Bunorm to progress from supplying simple parts to delivering complete, assembled turbine modules. As a result, TopSolid'Cam enabled Bunorm to enter this new business segment, secure more valuable orders, and establish itself as a full-service provider from a single source.
