Case Study: Phoenix CNC Engineering achieves faster, single-setup 5-axis machining of complex aerospace parts with Vero Software's Edgecam

Edgecam Resolves Complex Aircraft Parts Challenge for Phoenix

Phoenix CNC Engineering is a specialist aerospace subcontractor producing hundreds of complex airframe components daily for demanding customers. With a high mix of parts designed in Catia and many jobs requiring difficult multi-operation machining and full traceability, the company faced challenges around machining complexity, setup errors and managing thousands of job cards across the shop floor.

Phoenix solved this by adopting Edgecam’s 5‑axis CAM for associative Catia import and Vero’s Javelin production-control system with shop-floor data capture. The 5‑axis toolpaths allow many complex parts to be machined in a single setup—reducing programs, fixturing and errors while improving surface finish and tool life—while Javelin provides full materials control and traceability. The result is faster, more reliable production, better shop-floor visibility and the capacity to support long-term aerospace programs as the business grows.
