Abstract Switching to a new CAM system has enabled a contract machining shop to reduce programming time for complex parts by 80 percent. Using traditional programming methods, it took U. Klein GmbH (St. Ingbert, Germany) - a contract manufacturing shop that specializes in producing components for medical equipment manufacturers - a long time to program parts with complicated 3-D contours, resulting in the loss of many orders. To gain productivity, the company switched to a solids-based CAM system. Esprit, built upon the Parasolid modeling kernel, accepts solid part geometry directly from U. Klein's CAD files without translation, substantially reducing programming time. Additional time savings came from defining a library of tools that can be imported for each job. XX
