Case Study #1 — Innovative Solutions
Problem Statement
A customer had a need for parts with a complex and hard to manufacture internal drilled hole. The diameter of the bore to access the feature was only 4.13″, and the requirement on size and location was ±.0005 diameter and .003 True Position.
Solution
Vecco Engineering retrofitted their 5-axis machine with a custom engineered solution that simulated another axis via a “ram extension.” We produced prototypes in house on our 3D printing technology — a full-scale replica in 2 weeks and a robust manufacturing design within 4 weeks. Because of this innovative and rapid prototype solution we delivered the customer’s complex part ahead of time and on budget!
