CaPa Tec combines hands-on CNC experience with CAD/CAM, simulation and process engineering to improve cycle time, programming reliability, machine utilisation and overall manufacturing performance.
CNC Process Engineering
Better toolpaths are only part of the answer.
Optimising a CNC process means considering programming, tooling, workholding, machine capability, setup strategy and automation together. We focus on improvements that translate into measurable performance on the shop floor.
CNC Programming
Production-ready CNC programming developed around the component, machine tool, control and manufacturing strategy.
Toolpath Optimisation
Review cutting strategies, linking moves and machining methods to reduce unnecessary cycle time.
Post Processors
Post processor setup, refinement and troubleshooting to create reliable machine-specific NC output.
Multi-Axis Machining
Programming and process support for 3+2, simultaneous multi-axis and complex machining applications.
Simulation & Verification
Validate machine movement, NC programs and complex processes before committing valuable machine time.
Process Optimisation
Review the complete manufacturing method to reduce setups, improve reliability and increase productive spindle time.
Autodesk Fusion
Build a better programming workflow.
CaPa Tec supports the implementation and optimisation of Autodesk Fusion for CNC manufacturing, helping businesses develop efficient and repeatable programming workflows around their machines and components.
Advanced Simulation
Eureka manufacturing software solutions.
Advanced simulation and verification can help move prove-out away from valuable production equipment and provide greater confidence before programs reach the machine or robot.
G-Code
Full machine simulation and NC program verification using the actual posted machine code.
NC Coder
NC programming tools supporting efficient program creation and machine-oriented workflows.
Chronos
Cycle-time analysis to understand production performance and identify optimisation opportunities.
Robot
Offline robot programming and simulation for complex industrial automation applications.
Process Improvement
The objective isn't prettier CAM. It's better production.
Existing CNC processes often contain improvement opportunities that aren't immediately obvious from looking at the CAM program alone.
How We Work
Start with the process. Measure the improvement.
Whether the objective is reducing a single component cycle or standardising programming across multiple machines, improvement starts by understanding the existing process.
Review
Understand the component, machine, program, tooling, workholding and current cycle.
Identify
Find programming, tooling, setup and process constraints affecting performance.
Optimise
Develop and validate improvements using the appropriate CAD/CAM and engineering tools.
Standardise
Capture proven methods so improvements can be repeated across future production.
Training & Knowledge Transfer
Improve the process and develop the people running it.
Practical CAD/CAM and CNC support can be combined with training so that improvements remain within the business rather than disappearing when the project finishes.
Training can be delivered around your machines, components and existing programming workflow, with additional Autodesk Fusion training and support available through our specialist partners where appropriate.
