Case Study: Cascade Engineering Technologies boosts machining confidence and avoids costly errors with Vericut

Cascade Engineering Technologies - Customer Case Study

Cascade Engineering Technologies, an aerospace manufacturer specializing in machining high-value investment castings, faced the critical challenge of machining unique, "snowflake" castings perfectly the first time. With no room for error on extremely expensive materials, they needed to ensure their complex CNC programs and probing routines were flawless before any metal was cut on their machines. To mitigate this risk, they turned to Vericut from CGTech for simulation and verification.

By implementing Vericut, CET gained the ability to simulate and verify their entire machining process, including extensive probing routines, in a virtual environment. This solution allowed them to confirm program logic and catch errors before committing to CNC runtime, ensuring first-time success. The results were highly impactful: Vericut provided the confidence to take on their most complex project to date, a large air inlet, and has since become a priceless part of their process. It has saved them from costly mistakes, ensured on-time delivery of parts, and solidified their reputation as a trusted Tier 1 aerospace supplier.
