By using Sescoi’s WorkNC CAD/CAM software and its MyWorkPLAN job management system, CA Tooling, based in Lynchburg, VA, has been able to cut its machining cycle times by 25% and generate 15% more business. Specializing in foundry tooling and general machining, the company will be opening a new 8000 sq. ft. facility that will nearly double its present capacity.

The speed of expansion was a key driver for investing in new systems. “We were having a few mishaps with tool and holder collisions, which prompted us to look for new software,” Darrel Gallier, tooling shop manager. “WorkNC came out on top for the way in which it reduces the number of rapid moves and keeps the tool in the job for much more of the time.”

In addition to rapid quotation production, achieved through analysis of CAD data and reference to historic quotation information, the software has helped CA Tooling adhere to delivery schedules and keep track of the individual costs associated with each job.
