Outsourcing
Outsourcing CNC Programming with Computape is really quite easy. A sample program to create a post, a quick discussion on processing, stock size and a part design is all that is required. We create the CNC program, document for setup and specify what each tool will be milling. We also provide a video of a computer simulated machined part for your review before the program goes to the machine. We take the surprise out of what to expect at the machine. Before our programs are delivered they are processed using Vericut to detect any gouging, excess stock, shanking, and rapid errors.
Workload is the most common task we fulfill. Large, medium and small businesses use Computape resources when they need additional resources. Computape contract CNC programming is a means for you to take on additional work and keep your machines making chips. It reduces the costs of employee wages, taxes and benefits when workload is light.
Complex designs are the norm at Computape. Today’s designing technology is complex and often requires the skills of advanced programmers to create tool paths. Computape has the skill to program 3-Axis through 5-Axis parts specifically in the defense and aerospace industries.
Large and medium businesses use Computape not only because of our CNC programming skills but also because we are compatible. We conform to the Boeing DPD (Digital Product Definition) standards which makes it easy to conduct business. We have the experience to program extremely large, complex and expensive parts.
Small businesses use Computape when they have complex CNC programming tasks. They save by not needing expensive CNC programming software, the time it requires to learn the software, and the software maintenance. Like the large and medium businesses they also save on the employee cost.
Optimizing current projects is also a common task at Computape. Machine time is money and your programs need to be optimized. Reprogramming old jobs to decrease machine time is an on going task. Use Computapes experience and technology to optimize your programs. Or use us to cover the incoming work while you optimize your programs. We deliver the flexibility to make your workflow seamless.
Time is of the essence. With todays fast pace part turn around programming needs to be done now. Using our high end software (Unigraphics, Catia, Vericut and CimPro) we get the job done fast and right the first time. We have templates to facilitate the programming process that include feed/speeds, DOC, step over, finish… Once we have programmed a part for you we create a template and use it for your next project decreasing programming cost.
