  1. Cam-Tech Inc. • Customer Background • Cam-Tech is a leading supplier of complex machined parts for the commercial and military aerospace industries. • Business Challenges • Multiple CAD/CAM systems that complicated programming and machining • Multiple operations to machine a single, complex part led to repeated, time-consuming grabs • Error-prone machining programs that required multiple tape proofs or multiple re-makes of first article parts • Slow on-the-fly changes that consumed machining time and reduced output • Solution Implementation • CATIA V5 for extensive, graphical-based toolpath strategies with true-to-life representation of machining environments up to 5 axes • Robust visualization and preview capabilities that allow the designer to anticipate precisely what the machinist will see • Windows-based for better affordability and simplified maintenance • Improved ability to manipulate existing models • IBM Intellistation M Pro for optimum CATIA V5 performance • Benefits of the Solution • Machining times reduced up to 50% • Time required for on-the-fly changes reduced from hours to minutes • Modeling time reduced by more than 25% • Programming time reduced additional 15-20% • Multi-CAD capability reads native CATIA V5 data, easily imports CATIA V4 data and reads data created in many other CAD systems • Virtual elimination of programming errors in NC operations • Improved profitability and competitiveness Presentation Title | Date | Confidential

  2. Cam-Tech is an aerospace supplier known for its ability to manufacture the most mind-bendingly complex parts. But a proliferation of CAD/CAM systems that slowed the design process and led to wasted effort on the shop floor was threatening to derail the company’s growth. See how CATIA V5 put Cam-Tech back on a growth track, despite a struggling economy. CATIA V5 helps aerospace supplier thrive in tough times “Knowing that we have CATIA Version 5 on our side now enables Cam-Tech to go out, compete more effectively, more efficiently, and produce parts quicker than we have in the past. Overall, it’s going to allow Cam-Tech to grow to its next stage of success.” Larry Broseh, Owner/CEO, Cam-Tech

  3. CAM-TECH • The Industry • Cam-Tech is a leading supplier of complex machined parts for the commercial and military aerospace industries. • The Challenge • A proliferation of CAD/CAM systems had slowed the design process and contributed to wasted effort on the shop floor, threatening to derail the company’s growth. Error-prone machining programs required multiple tape proofs or re-makes of first-article parts, and slow on-the-fly changes consumed machining time and reduced output. • The Solution • Cam-Tech chose Windows-based CATIA V5 for extensive, graphical-based toolpath strategies with true-to-life representation of machining environments up to 5 axes. Robust visualization and preview capabilities allow the designer to anticipate precisely what the machinist will see. The Windows base also offers better affordability and simplified maintenance. • The Customer Benefits • With CATIA V5, Cam-Tech reduced its machining times by as much as 50%, and cut modeling time by more than 25%. On-the-fly changes are made in minutes instead of hours and programming errors in NC operations were virtually eliminated. “Knowing that we have CATIA Version 5 enables Cam-Tech to go out, compete more effectively and produce parts quicker than we have in the past.” -- Larry Broseh, Owner/CEO, Cam-Tech
