Case Study: Kummer GmbH achieves rapid tool design and 90%+ feature recognition with Vero Software

Kummer GmbH - Customer Case Study

Kummer GmbH, a precision stamping and mould‑tooling specialist near Pforzheim, Germany, developed the K’Tecsystem — a laminated injection process that stamps, forms and over‑moulds hybrid metal‑plastic microcomponents in a single machine. Facing growing competition in plastics and stamping and needing one 3D system to handle sheet‑metal, mould and CAM workflows, Kummer found traditional parametric CAD tools (CATIA/Pro‑E/UG) too complex and inefficient for fast, economical tool design.

Kummer implemented Vero Software’s VISI suite (VISI Progress, Mould, Modelling and VISI Machining with Compass), creating a single CAD/CAM solution that sped onboarding to two weeks and delivered measurable gains within three months. The integrated workflow and Compass feature recognition (over 90% for 2/2½‑axis work) reduced programming time and errors, streamlined design‑to‑manufacture processes and helped Kummer and its user group drive further product improvements.
