...the cycle times have been reduced by 70% to 80% - sometimes even reduced by 90%
..a part from customer that took him 7 hours and 30 minutes to manufacture, we did it in iMachining in 2 hours and 50 minutes
..we can now use iMachining, which we find to be really great technology.
..milled the same part with a higher iMachining level, and we reduced the machining time to 4 1/2 mins , as opposed to 17 mins
..task to achieve much longer tool life...iMachining results: 2 min cutting time (50% saving)..12 slots milled per tool - tool like new!
..iMachining time 17 min vs Competitor CAM time of 1 hr 45 min..
....Rubber mold (automotive component)...steel EN31
...We have been running an aluminum pocketing job for 15 years. The run time has been 22 minutes. The job now runs in iMachining in 9 minutes...
..first part cutting steel took about 5 min using iMachining, compared to the 2-3 hrs we were spending before to make the same part
"You can quickly recover the entire cost of SolidCAM and iMachining in tooling cost savings alone."
