Autodesk CAM Solutions Deliver Quality, Efficiency, and Capability

Early experience with Pratt & Whitney on the joint strike fighter program gave me a real-world appreciation for sub-tenths precision and high-end manufacturing processes. While a design and engineering manager for a high-end architectural sign company, some community college machine shop training gave me a start in hands-on machining. This culminated in an internship for an R&D group in Florida for Disney, and due to not enough work for a full-time employee led to the creation of Barton Engineering Solutions. Disney was looking for a complete design-build service, which resulted in adding a Grizzly Knee Mill and engine lathe into the garage shop, along with a dynasty TIG and 220 Millermatic. When a large project for a rehabbed Enchanted Tiki Room came across my desk moved to a larger shop and realized the need for CNC. I didn’t know anything about it, and I thought CNC was only for big shops with 3 shifts and rows of machines run by apprentice-trained machinists. A mentor started teaching me CAM and the system was slow and we would import 3D CAD data and spend a lot of time extracting 2D data that already existed to go directly into toolpaths. One late-night search I found Autodesk HSMworks, and from there it has been straight magic.

Custom Fusion 360 Post with Rapid Support

Steel Craft Technologies, an ISO 9001-2015 certified steel service center located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, continues to raise industry standards for quality steel products along with on-time delivery. Steel Craft Technologies strives for excellence daily by consistently producing quality steel products that always include best-in-class customer service.Steel Craft’s continued focus on quality and on time delivery led to (3) robots and (1) multi-axis CNC machine in an automated cell capable of handling one off steel parts up to approximately 1,100 lbs. efficiently as though we were running production parts. We were challenged with needing a post for Fusion 360 that could utilize probing, tool break detection, multi-axis machining, and more at the CNC machine, but also able to simultaneously output multiple files for the automation to verify material, work holding and process it through the cell. That is when we looked to Autodesk Solution Provider NexGenCAM for support.

Adding Value In Quoting Jobs With Autodesk FeatureCAM That Used To Be Out Of Reach

Stark Industrial Inc. is a 3-generation family business started in 1959 as a distributor of cutting tools and industrial supplies. Over time, we transitioned from a distributor to a manufacturer of precision metal parts and assemblies for a variety of industries. We're also one of the most successful distributors of complex dimensional precision measuring tools in the U.S. because we teach our customers how to use them and we service what we sell. In 2005 we purchased our first Citizen Swiss CNC machine to meet the increasing requirements of our customers. Due to the complexity of the machine, we identified the need to purchase a CAM system for programming.

Rapidly Increase R&D and Production

In business since 1994, Aimpro Tactical grew up with traditional CAD/CAM processes and machining techniques. In 2018, the team developed a new product, now covered by 2 US Patents, from which they built a prototype and completed small batches on a Prototrac DPM. Using a separate third party vendor to draw/model in Solidworks and then another to CAM out code in Mastercam or other CAM software, the company moved at what now seems like glacial speed. The challenge was to grow the product line from one specific application and dramatically increase the number of product lines and the number of units produced. This continues to grow and the team is expanding their machining and production capabilities each month. During this time, they are maintaining high-end quality and tight tolerances while minimizing scrap parts and set up times. The company's end user customers expect and demand the highest quality and Aimpro Tactical is committed to delivering only that.
