THE CLIENT
Company: Tampa Bay Steel Corporation
Headquarters: Tampa, Florida, USA
Industry:Mining and Metals
THE OBJECTIVE
To implement a system that would assist in
programming machining features and at the
same time provide a 3D visual effect of the
process to the end customer..
THE SOLUTION
CAMWorks’ extensive feature set and built in
intelligence helped create features exactly as
per the designed specifications.
We also evaluated 1 CNC which was also 3D capable, but felt that CAMWorks was a much more impressive overall package - it was also more user friendly. Using CAMWorks has made us a lot more e cient - with the software you don't have to question whether the part is going to come off right. Earlier, we would do an extra 3-4% CNC run. But, with CAMWorks you don't need extra parts other than one sample (for reference). It has certainly helped us reduce material cost overhead."
