Changing CAM Systems on the Fly
|
1/1/2010 |
BEDMINSTER, NJ (January 2010) — Ask a busy shop to change its CAM system, and you are likely to get a comment something like this: "We don't need it. We're doing fine right now."
McGuigan, however, was able to take a longer view of the company's potential and wanted to improve the shop's CAM productivity and multiaxis machining capabilities. Because this couldn't be done with its present software, the company researched the marketplace, chose a CAM package, and worked out a plan with the dealer that would make the transition as clean and painless as possible.
"You have to reinvent yourself every year in this business," McGuigan explains. "If you don't modernize or upgrade every year or two, you eventually fall behind. Then it is too big of a step to go forward again. Every year, we try to do something—add another Swiss CNC lathe, a mill, a lathe. We are constantly trying to upgrade to the latest technology in one of those departments in every year. Changing over to more powerful CAM software was one of those upgrades."

SolidWorks ‘Engineering Stimulus Package‘ Yields Results
|
8/3/2009 |
CONCORD, Mass., Aug. 3, 2009 – Nick Cook wasn’t looking for work until the economy “turned my 401K into a 201K.”
Early in his search, the retired aerospace engineer heard of a possible opening at a local company, Aerocet (http://www.aerocet.com/), that makes advanced composite aircraft floats for seaplanes. But there was a catch: Aerocet engineers use SolidWorks® CAD software, yet Cook had used a different program his whole career.
