SUCCESS STORY
Better Accuracy and Efficiency for Plastic Parts
Customer Challenge
Founded in 2015, MK Machining set out with the goal of delivering innovative products to the precision shooting community at an incredible value. All their products are manufactured using cutting-edge technology and materials produced here in the USA. They began a search for a solution that would help them improve productivity while decreasing labor in their manufacturing process and allow them to refine the “nesting” process of parts.
Project Goals
MK Machining' primary goals aligned their three top challenges, to increase productivity, to decrease labor involved and to provide more control over nesting of parts. A future project goal will be to align their use of advanced features of the Autodesk Netfabb Premium solution with their emerging use of 3D Printing as part of their customer-oriented services.
Solution
D3 Technologies introduced Autodesk Fusion 360 with Netfabb Premium to MK Machining and illustrated how Autodesk Netfabb’s multifaceted capabilities can address design, nesting, packing, infill, and lattice issues while acting as a front-end utility for their new HP3D Printer. D3 also engaged Autodesk for their consulting expertise in the finalization of the solution related to newest features within Netfabb.
Business Outcome
MK Machining purchased Netfabb software to gain efficiency in packing MJF builds. Autodesk Netfabb has increased productivity, decreased labor involved, and given more control over nesting parts. Their 3 primary goals were realized with the intention of discovering other parts of the Netfabb subset of features that might be considered in the future.
Conclusion
“With Autodesk Netfabb there are a variety of features that increase capabilities beyond what can be done manually. It is the best combination of both “user-friendly” and “wallet-friendly,” feature subset to enhance our operation particularly from our standpoint as a small business.” -- Tyler Kemp, Founder & Co-Owner.
