Manufacturing and DFM Services

Design for Manufacturability (DFM): 

What do you mean you can’t make it? Sound familiar? The associativity of Pro/ENGINEER is the greatest tool in your arsenal to implement your DFM strategy, but you must know how to use it correctly. SIGMAXIM has the experience to help you restructure your process to take full advantage of inherent capabilities in Pro/ENGINEER to make the “Design For Manufacturing” vision a reality.

 
High Speed Machining and Hard Milling: 

You bought that new state-of-the-art High Speed Machine. Now what? SIGMAXIM personnel have been involved in high-speed machining and hard milling technologies since their inceptions, contributing patented processes and ideas. We can help you establish methodologies and processes to integrate Pro/ENGINEER with your new machines.

Serial Production Machining: 

When every machining second counts... SIGMAXIM can help you optimize your use of Pro/ENGINEER NC applications and consistently access all its flexibility.  Talk to our experts when your needs include repetitive and/or similar parts programming.

Mold and Die Machining:

Make sure that NC programming is not the bottleneck in your tool production.  SIGMAXIM machining methodologies assure fast and consistent NC programs for your tool shop. Learn the latest techniques to get yours tools in production faster. 

Advanced Multi-axis Machining: 

Tool axis control giving you fits? Pro/NC provides numerous ways to control the manner in which a tool engages the material for multi-axis NC programming. Often, these methods are not documented. SIGMAXIM can show how to get the results you want no matter the complexity of your machining task.

Manufacturing Process Re-engineering: 

How can we make it better, faster, cheaper? Processes are designed to take advantage of existing technologies. With the rapid change in machines, tools, materials and software, any process that has not changed the last 5 years is not helping your company. SIGMAXIM can help upgrade most manufacturing processes, whether it is moving to new milling machines, mill-turn, grinding or others.

Contract Part Programming: 

Do not settle for just any NC program. Insist on a program that is complete, flexible and easily maintained. Anybody can provide an NC program. SIGMAXIM provides optimized, flexible Pro/NC programs that won’t fall apart when changes are needed.

Post-processor Development: 

A necessary evil. SIGMAXIM can turn this inconvenience into an advantage by incorporating automation to speed-up the overall NC programming task. Whether it is the simplest machine, or the most complex multi-axis machine, SIGMAXIM’s experience in developing post-processors dates back to the 1980’s.

Flexible Manufacturing Shop Floor Systems: 

Balance out capacity problems in your machine shop. This can be accomplished by enabling NC programs to move seamlessly between NC machines, thus greatly simplifying machine scheduling. SIGMAXIM can help you implement the processes, and customize your tools to make this happen.
