We operate two systems for CAD/CAM purposes – Mastercam and Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire.

Mastercam allows us to generate complex 3D toolpaths for machining custom shapes e.g. aerodynamic wing profiles. This can be accomplished quickly, with the minimum of effort. The software also allows us to interrogate our customer’s 3D models, which can be of use when working on prototypes or urgent work, relieving the customer of the need to produce a full technical drawing prior to us commencing manufacture.

Our Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire software does all the above, but with finer controls for the most advanced machining. The Complete Machinist package drives our 5-axis machines with full simultaneous axis control. With today’s designers looking towards more complex geometry to fulfil increasingly demanding design briefs, the ability to machine almost any shape imaginable is proving invaluable to our customers.
