PLASSON's Two Decades of Success with VERICUT: A Manufacturing Case Study

In this episode of the North West Aerospace Alliance News, Emma and Daniel explore how PLASSON, a global manufacturing company with over 50 years of experience and a turnover of 1.3 billion Israeli new shekels, has been using VERICUT software for two decades to enhance their machining processes. The discussion delves into how PLASSON initially adopted the software to address discrepancies between CAM simulations and G-code outputs, leading to more accurate tool paths and significant cost savings. The conversation highlights the various modules of VERICUT that PLASSON utilizes, including Verification, CNC Machine Simulation, Multi-Axis, and AUTO-DIFF, and how these tools help prevent costly errors, reduce material waste, and improve efficiency. The episode also touches on PLASSON’s expansion in machining capabilities, from four-axis to five-axis machines, and the user-friendly nature of the software that allows new team members to quickly get up to speed. Listeners will gain insights into how simulation and verification software can be a game-changer for manufacturing companies, ensuring quality and efficiency in an inflationary environment.
