"These models show Sculpt (models are shown right below) used for its simplest time savings. I was able to rough out the models in Rhino (no trims, blends or transition surfaces), get client approval, and then add all fillets, transition surfaces, cut lines and textures. The files were then exported as fully textured STL files and sent to the client for SLA output. The average time for these models was 15- 20 hours."
“GibbsCAM takes care of three turrets very easily—syncs them all up, and it spits out all the wait codes. So we use Sync Manager a lot, every time we program that machine. We have seen cycle time reductions between 50 percent and 75 percent on the machine. The NL lathes also have dual spindles, but a single turret. It was having additional turrets and a good way to manage them that sped up the job.”
