Case Study: Crown Tooling reduces cycle times and boosts accuracy with TopSolid

Crown Tooling - Customer Case Study

Crown Tooling, an established manufacturer of woodworking tooling, faced the challenge of reducing cycle times and improving productivity for their complex parts. To stay competitive, they invested in a new 9-axis Okuma Macturn machining center but needed a powerful, integrated CAD/CAM system from a vendor like TopSolid to fully program and utilize its advanced capabilities, eliminating multiple machine setups.

The solution was implemented using the TopSolid software, a completely integrated CAD/CAM system. With support from the TopSolid team, Crown Tooling successfully programmed their new machine, resulting in a dramatic reduction in cycle times. For example, a complex floorboard cutter that previously required six operations was completed in a single 1.5-hour operation, greatly improving both efficiency and part accuracy.
