Scott System uses CAM software to control the CNC machine during cut to size operations. This allows us to develop and produce parts that come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The largest machine has a production envelope of 4’ high x 10’ wide x 15’ long. It can handle very large parts and supports indexing and restart programming.
Our Cut to Size Capabilities
Our 5-axis milling process uses CAD/CAM subtractive manufacturing techniques in a production sequence.
This means that bulk material is placed on our machine. Then the router removes it in two steps: a rough pass and a finish pass.
The design team at Scott System uses CAM software to control the CNC machine’s direct cutting. That allows us to develop and produce parts in a range of shapes and sizes to fit the project’s needs.
The machines in our arsenal can mill 120 inches on the x-axis, 180 inches on the y-axis, and 48 inches on the z-axis.
We also have the capability to mill non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, various types of foam, wood, and even composites.
Quality Control
Our design team has a built-in system of checks and balances within the design and manufacturing process. They ensure that cut-to-size quality control is met each time.
Digital Design gives us the flexibility to manufacture a part using our CAD/CAM software before the material even reaches our production floor.
Then the design process verifies part fabrication, the machine’s tool path to avoid collisions, and generates lead times.
