Case Study: ELE Advanced Technologies achieves 20% tooling cost savings with Vericut Force

20% Tool cost savings with Vericut Force

ELE Advanced Technologies, a UK-based manufacturer of turbine components, faced significant cost pressures from rising tooling expenses and customer demands for lower prices. To address the challenge of machining exotic alloys, they implemented the Vericut Force module from vendor Vericut to reduce their consumable costs and cycle times.

The Vericut solution optimized their NC code to maintain a constant chip thickness, which significantly extended tool life and streamlined the machining process. This resulted in a 20% reduction in tooling costs and an 11.2% cycle time saving on a key component, putting them on track for an ROI of less than 12 months. Vericut also provided additional benefits including enhanced sustainability and increased machine capacity without further capital investment.
