CAM automation and library revitalize precision manufacturer

TECMA, a family-owned precision machining business, provides machining services for the aerospace and defense industries. They have provided parts for many historic U.S. space programs, from the 1st Apollo missions to the upcoming Artemis mission. To remain competitive and continue their growth, the company needed to transition from 2D to 3D programming capabilities. They found an excellent solution in CAMWorks, which enabled them to increase output, control costs, and position for the future.

How Jewa Metallverarbeitung improves its productivity by getting the most from CAM system

A Technology Database is the “brain” behind the automated machining performed by CAMWorks. The database links tools, operation strategies, and machining parameters with the features. When generating operations, CAMWorks automatically links these settings. The operation parameters can be changed before and after the toolpath is created. CAMWorks allows the creation of rectilinear, highly targeted programs, making the user’s job that much easier.
