Case Study: Ultra Machining Company achieves up to 28% cycle time reduction with Vericut Force

For this Minnesota job shop, CGTech’s Force optimization software reduces cycle time on every job it touches

Ultra Machining Company (UMC), an aerospace and medical job shop, was seeking ways to reduce cycle times, improve tool life, and increase efficiency in the face of a shortage of skilled labor. To address these manufacturing challenges, they turned to CGTech and implemented its Force optimization software.

By deploying CGTech's Force module, UMC achieved significant and immediate results. The physics-based optimization reduced cycle times by an average of 5-6% even on jobs previously optimized with another solution, with savings on one part alone reaching almost $13,000. The company also benefited from extended tool life, a reduction in cutter breakage to zero, and an estimated return on investment of three to four times within the first year, solidifying the value of CGTech's solution.
