“It was great service provided at a time when we needed to expand our capacity to support all of the new part development projects we had going in our shop. We needed a solid person that could take the project from start to finish to build the programming, the tooling, the inspection criteria and work directly with the operators and quality team to get the job done. We also needed to work with the customer’s engineering team since the drawing had some features that did not follow a design for manufacturing approach so your engineer was able to coordinate the changes needed and work with updated design releases in an effort to deliver the final product to them.
The customer was happy with the end result.”

– Michael (Mike) Koesling, President at Tessec

A CNC Programming Partnership

With our clients we always go the extra mile and forge a partnership that will last for years. Take a look at how we’ve been working with a US based leading manufacturer of aircraft for government programs for more than 5 years now, programming more than a 1,000 parts.

FAQs

Outsourcing your CNC programming has multiple benefits:

  • Cost

Having a license to a CNC Programming software is costly. Companies might not want to incur this cost and will be able to save it by outsourcing. 

  • Flexibility

Outsourcing CNC Programming would provide companies with an option for an on-demand service to hire whenever they have a sudden engineering change, need to rework a part, or even salvage one. 

  • Expertise

By outsourcing, companies would hire CNC Programmers with high expertise and a broader knowledge base. They would tend to offer solutions related to issues faced on parts based on different experiences. 

There are multiple CNC Programming out there, and it depends on the complexity of the part and the company’s machine budget. It could be as simple as drilling a few holes to a sophisticated part that requires a complex 5 to 7 axis machine to articulate the cutters.

Choosing the best CNC programming software depends on the need, the budget, the complexity of the part, the type of surfaces, and if there are intricate machines or not. To run a CNC Machine, you need three (3) types of software:

  • CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software used to design parts and fixtures
  • CAM (Computer-Aided Machining) software used to program toolpath and generate G-Codes
  • A post-processor or a G-Code sender software to feed the codes into the machine. 

A CNC Programming expert can look a 2D or 3D part design, interpret it, and develop the proper way to program it to run on a CNC machine. They can understand geometric dimensioning and tolerancing and how the part would fit in the bigger picture. An expert CNC Programmer is capable of using macros, of programming a machine and making it run faster, produce more efficiently, and increase its yield.

G-codes & M-codes are the programming languages used simultaneously to run CNC machines. G-codes or geometry codes control the machine by providing a command followed by geometric locations on the axis using X, Y, or Z coordinates. As for M-codes, they provide miscellaneous functions to the CNC machine. 

A probe is a tool that helps CNC Programmers to measure the features of the parts created by the machine. Probing helps the programmers inspect the part to ensure it has the correct dimensions before producing it. 

When a CNC programmer needs to program a part, they consider the machine’s rigidness, use, and capabilities. They also take into account the complexity of the part and the material type. 

Some of the challenges CNC programmers might face include overcoming improper tooling, especially when it’s not designed to do what they wanted it to, or not understanding the purpose of the part they need to program. Another challenge is working through quality issues certain companies might have in terms of specs and standards.

There are multiple ways to program parts, depending on the nature of the part, the material itself, and the machine used. There could only be one outcome which is producing the right part to sell, but there are different techniques and multiple ways to get there. Some might yield faster results, and the only way to know is to have more than one option. 

What could make one programmer better than another is the experience on the shop floor. Programmers who have experience operating on CNC machines, have a better understanding of the programming and tend to outperform the rest. A good programmer has the experience and knows the machine’s capabilities. They would understand how far they can push it and understand the engineering behind the part. A good programmer tends to work closely with the engineers and quality inspectors to fix the issues they might come across and generate the best outcome. A good programmer would be on the ground working with engineers and machinists down the line to have a more holistic view. Distinguishing a good programmer versus a bad one requires some vetting.

Any manufacturing company that needs to program a machine to cut a part, who’s facing new designs, new cutters, needs to modify parts, or update programs with newer machines will need an expert CNC programmer. 

In some cases, the programming is proprietary and hence the need for the programmer on-site. In other cases, there are permissions to be granted, and having someone on-site is preferable. All in all, there’s a lot of value in having a hands-on programmer on-site; they will be able to understand where the part is located and work with the quality department to fix issues they might face on the spot. 

A good CGR or model is vital when it comes to CNC programming. Upon completion, quality inspectors will inspect it for issues, and the programmer will adjust the programming if needed. The quality and engineering departments will have to approve and sign off on the model before resuming production.
