Case Study: SECO Tools achieves faster cycle times and improved tool life with VERICUT Force from Vericut

SECO and CGTech Collaborative Partnership Provides A Resultant FORCE

SECO Tools, a specialist in cutting tool technologies, collaborated with CGTech to address the challenge faced by their customers: the need to drastically reduce manufacturing cycle times and associated costs by 40-60% or more. This required a more holistic and proactive approach to providing technical solutions.

By implementing CGTech’s VERICUT Force optimization software, the partnership delivered significant results. For a complex aerospace pylon bracket, the cycle time was reduced from 4 hours to 3 hours. In medical manufacturing, optimizing a tibial tray saved 40-50 seconds per part, which CGTech’s solution calculates to a potential annual saving of £700,000 for a high-volume producer. The solution also increased tool life, reduced power consumption, and improved overall shopfloor sustainability.
