Piemme Arredamenti Reduces Programming Time by 30% with JETCAM
Piemme Arredamenti, based in Tuscany, Italy manufactures specialist furniture for supermarkets, shops and offices. They purchased an Amada LC2415 laser in 2006 along with an Italian CAM system recommended by the machine tool reseller, however the software proved unstable, complicated to use and did not generate accurate NC code with the programmers often having to manually amend it.
In 2007 they decided to evaluate the CAM market. Their main requirements were the ability to import batches of files from SolidEdge automatically, integrate the CAM into their MRP and generate accurate NC code. They finally selected JETCAM Expert, provided by local reseller SGR Consulting.
Two licenses of Expert 1 and one Expert Premium were installed in March 2008, with three staff being fully trained over two days. The Expert 1 licenses were used for converting and manage geometry. The Expert Premium license included free form nesting capabilities. Said Marco Primaveri, Owner; “Immediately the problem of poor NC code was removed as the JETCAM postprocessor generated accurate code every time. The system itself was also stable; never crashing or generating errors of any kind.”
