We're pleased to announce our latest investment in SolidCAM, completing our 'make to model' solution across all of our CNC machines and adding advanced programming capability for mill-turn and sliding head production.
By investing in SolidCAM, we're enhancing the way we programme complex components, helping us make even better use of our machining technology while improving efficiency, accuracy and productivity.
Key benefits include:
✔️ Direct CAD to CAM integration, eliminating translation issues
✔️ iMachining technology to reduce cycle times and extend tool life
✔️ Advanced mill-turn programming for more efficient machining
✔️ Synchronisation of multiple turrets and spindles to maximise productivity
✔️ Machine simulation and collision detection to minimise programming errors and reduce risk
From October 2026, SolidCAM will be used to programme our Mazak Quickturn and Star Sliding Head lathes, further strengthening our ability to deliver high-quality precision machined components for our customers.
This investment is another step in our ongoing commitment to continuous improvement, advanced manufacturing technology and Right First Time production.
