About the Company

Shorter lead times were required to remain competitive in the manufacturing industry,

especially against low cost production offered from toolmakers in Asia. At the same time

RP Tooling needed to ensure that they maintained their established reputation for quality.

About the Company

Pinfold Patterns were looking to diversify to offer toolmaking as well as patternmaking. They

would be competing with larger companies and needed software that was reliable and could

help them to keep the cost of producing the tools down to a minimum. At the same time the

tools produced had to be good quality and compatible with Correa machining centres.

NCG CAM Helps Inca Tooling Ltd to Expand Their Customer Base Globally

Requirements

Inca Tooling was established in 1972 to supply tooling to the UK based investment-casting

foundries. Since that time the company has expanded its customer base to cover Europe, the

United States, Japan, South Africa and the Middle East.

The company is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of airfoil tooling, ranging from the

smallest turbine blade for helicopter engines up to the largest blades and vanes for power

generation turbines. Inca works closely with companies such as Rolls Royce, General Electric,

Pratt & Whitney, Snecma, MTU, ABB and Solar Turbines to name a few.

The reliability of NCG CAM has helped Inca Tooling to build up and maintain excellent working relationships with many of the

leading aero-engine and gas turbine manufacturers, both in UK and globally.

Inca Tooling pioneered the design and construction of single shot dies for multi-vane segments using NCG CAM.

Wear on tooling is kept to a minimum, saving money.

“At INCA Tooling, we use SolidWorks to design and NCG CAM to manufacture complex wax pattern dies and ceramic

core tooling for the aerospace industry. Using NCG CAM on our BRIDGEPORT VMC Machining Centres, we are

capable of even higher production standards in shorter lead times.”

GAdopting NCG CAM on the Shop-floor Reduces Machining Lead Times by up to 95% for Dynamic Die & Steel (Sheffield) Ltd

Requirements

Established since 1970, Dynamic Die & Steel (Sheffield) Ltd, Sheffield, UK, provide a complete

sub-contract solution, specialising in medium to heavy machining of large forge tooling for a

variety of industries including aerospace, mining and transportation.

Machining lead times have been significantly reduced from 8 weeks down to just 2 days

Operators can make modifications straight away, by using the software on the shop-floor, saving time

The amount of benching has been minimised , as the smooth cutter paths produced by NCG CAM give excellent

surface finish

Training of additional staff is no longer an issue, as NCG CAM is so easy to use

“NCG CAM is a very powerful 3D programming system. The speed with which we create the very large cutter paths

required in the production of 2 metre die impressions is incredible and has enabled us to operate lights out

machining on our high speed machine tools.

Most of all, our customers have been astounded by how quickly we can turn round a suite of tools, which allows us to

keep our pricing very competitive.”

Class 100 Offer Simultaneous 4-axis

Utilising 5-axis Capabilities in NCG CAM

Requirements

Established since 1992 in Hertfordshire, UK, Class 100 specialise in 3D machining of

prototypes, mould tools, vacuum form tools, special purpose jigs & fixtures and vibration

welding fixtures.

Toolpaths, especially the roughing, are very quick to generate, keeping lead times to a minimum.

Able to purchase a Haas machine tool to utilise NCG CAM and diversify into running an in-house toolroom with ease.

Able to further diversify to offer simultaneous 4-axis capabilities to customers by adding the NCG CAM 5-axis add-on option.

“I have always found NCG CAM to be very intuitive. One key benefit of the software, is that it allows you to quickly

amend toolpaths semi-automatically with the help of the process manager and control key. Most other software

packages require the user to regenerate each stage individually.

All of the time savings really add up when you are looking to keep lead times to a minimum.“

drop forging dies, mainly for the automotive industry.

Easy and fast creation of NC programs also within complex shaped surfaces

High speed and accurate machining

Thanks to optimisation, NCG CAM reduces time that is needed for the defining toolpath and

its calculation, as well as production time

Prompt implementation thanks to easy and intuitive user interface

“We have invested into the NCG CAM program and now it allows us to create programs ofcomplex shaped surfaces with highly accurate machining. Easy-to-operate is among its greatbenefits. Even if the user is not skilled with CAM, they are able to learn how to manage it afterjust a few days without any previous CAM experience.“

About the Company

In order to expand their production, the company had to set-up its own in-house tool-room.

As well as purchasing a machining centre, it was also necessary to have the facilities to create

programs for 3-axis machining in house. As the tooling is used for production of quality forgings

the doubly curved surfaces needed to be machined to accurately.

About the Company

Beta-Tech needed a 3D CAM system with enhanced capability that would easily cut complex,

organically shaped surfaces. Cost-efficiency was also important, being able to leverage the

multi-threading capability needed to calculate multiple toolpaths simultaneously. As Beta-Tech

has experienced growth combined with the purchase another company, increased throughput

and large part performance was a major requirement.
