About the Company

Rubber compression / transfer / injection tools, Blow moulds, Profile, hose/tube and rubber extrusion dies. Rapid prototype tooling produced in days, not weeks. Covering all the sectors of industries, from POS/POP, Medical, automotive, aerospace, MOD, oil and gas, marine and nuclear.

Requirements

M J Toolmakers felt that the existing software they used needed updating as it seemed inefficient in processing and the drilling cycling was very laborious.

Results from Purchasing NCG CAM

With the recent addition of 5 licenses of NCG CAM, M J Toolmakers have seen:

• 1 x day of On-site Training was given to 2 new Users and they were live machining the following day, it really was that easy!!
• Production times have been improved and lead times reduced by over 40% in some cases.
• The Drilling in NCG CAM reduces the chance of errors at the machine tool and saves a lot of time.

The team of 9 highly experienced toolmakers all agree, the ease of using the NCG CAM system is second to none.
