CNC Software Helps Job Shop Produce More Complex Jobs in 1/3 the Time

Lyle Stahle purchased a 3-axis computer numerical control (CNC) machining center and several manual machine tools and started a prototype machining shop in his garage. At first, Stahle produced very simple parts that he programmed using conversational CNC on the control of his ProtoTrak machining center. Soon, Stahle was asked to take on more complicated and profitable jobs but found that they were difficult or impossible to program conversationally. Stahle began using FeatureMILL2.5D CNC programming software because it makes it very easy to program complex parts and provides many features to optimize machining time.

2010 is certainly beginning better than 2009, by all accounts. Bloomberg Business Week’s Meter, developed using data from YouGov, topped 59 (on a scale of 0= lowest and 100 = highest), a two month high. Economists raised their 2010 gross domestic product growth forecast by an average of 2.7%. The METER is a proprietary measure of sentiment and expectations, economic statistics, and market forecasts. It evaluates shifts in outlook among individuals, professional investors, and economists in the areas of US economic growth, jobs, equity markets, and real estate.
