Case Study: Rigging Projects achieves safer first-time machining with Vericut

Vericut software helps Rigging Projects stay ahead of the curve

Rigging Projects, a specialist in the design and manufacture of high-quality marine hardware, faced a challenge in ensuring the safe and accurate operation of its new, high-value Matsuura five-axis machining center. The complexity of machining parts with intricate curves and freeform surfaces in a single setup created a significant risk of costly collisions and machine damage. The company turned to Vericut’s CNC simulation, verification, and optimization software to provide the necessary confidence for its programmers.

By implementing Vericut, Rigging Projects gained a seamless solution for verifying NC programs from its Autodesk Fusion 360 software. The software's precise collision avoidance and tolerance-setting capabilities prevented a major machine crash, saving substantial repair costs and downtime. This provided the team with complete peace of mind, especially during extended unmanned operation, making Vericut an essential insurance policy for their advanced manufacturing process.
