Case Study: Virtual Manufacturing UK cuts energy use and cycle time with Vericut Optimizer

Virtual Manufacturing UK - Customer Case Study

Virtual Manufacturing UK, a manufacturing consultancy, collaborated with Vericut to validate the energy-saving predictions of the Vericut Optimizer software. The challenge was to move beyond theoretical cycle time claims and provide hard, measured evidence of reduced electricity consumption during machining to support sustainability objectives.

The solution involved Vericut Optimizer analyzing and optimizing the NC code for machining a titanium component. The results, measured by Virtual Manufacturing UK's monitoring hardware, showed a 19.2% reduction in energy consumption and a 24.5% reduction in cycle time. These verified savings from Vericut add to the software’s benefits of increased productivity and a more compelling investment proposition for manufacturers.
