NCG CAM Enables RP Tooling Ltd to Increase CNC Machining Capacity by 50%

A good CAM system can contribute substantial cost savings not only by traditional cycle time utilization but also for the ability to utilize existing standard cutting tools. Be able to visualize the tool path of a specific cutting tool enables the operations manager to getter better utilization from their existing inventory and avoid additional tooling purchases.
In some cases however, the ability to develop the tool path and related machining cycle will also demonstrate the need for a custom cutting tool and easily provide quantifiable data related to the cost justification and return on investment.
A very good article to read and consider implications for using such a software application.
