Case Study: Roku-Mechanik GmbH reduces machining and programming costs with TopSolid

Roku-Mechanik GmbH - Customer Case Study

Roku-Mechanik GmbH, a German manufacturer of high-precision components, faced the challenge of reducing machine running times for its complex parts. To optimize their CNC programming and fully exploit their advanced multi-axis machining centers, they needed a powerful CAD/CAM solution that could provide realistic simulation to prevent collisions and minimize costly machine downtime. They turned to the vendor, TopSolid, for a solution.

TopSolid implemented its integrated CAD/CAM software, including TopSolid’Cam, which allowed Roku-Mechanik to simulate and optimize tool paths and machining duration. This led to significantly reduced program running-in times and fewer machine errors. While precise savings were still being quantified, company management anticipated a total cost reduction of at least 50 percent for programming costs once the TopSolid system was fully implemented across all machines.
