Compsys case study with Eastman cutters and Accurouter

▤ Summary

We could also standardize on a single CAM system to drive both knife and routing cutting technologies.” The decision was made to select JETCAM Expert with High Performance Nesting, supplied by US distributor NestOne Solutions in December 2007 with a view to integrating into Compsys’ in-house orders database. This was helped by the ability to specify ‘filler parts’; items that we regularly make can be specified to fill empty areas on a nest to maximize material efficiency. As data is passed automatically between the two systems, any orders created are immediately available within JETCAM, ready for nesting. Through a combination of JETCAM’s ability to automatically import and apply cutting information to entire directories of CAD files, and reliable, optimised nests produced without programmer intervention, overall programming time was reduced by 70% and the company could rely on efficient and dynamically created nests. The support is really excellent and we always get a good response.” Despite the economic downturn Compsys estimate that JETCAM paid for itself within 6-9 months, due to the savings made through reduced programming time and material waste reduction, and the company has no plans to stop there.
