Capabilities

CAD/CAM

Star Metal Product's utilizes state of the art Virtual Gibbs Cad/Cam software. Programming is done quickly, accurately and verified with a 3-D Rendering of the tool path before the program is loaded into the machines.

Solid-Edge Cad software technicians build "solid models" for every part we manufacture. Solid Edge allows the flexibility to adapt almost any file format provided to us, saving time and ensuring accuracy.

CUSTOM FIXTURES

Star Metal Product's also makes complex custom fixtures to serve the machine shop and machine tool markets.

REVERSE ENGINEERING

Additionally, if a customer doesn't have a print but supplies only a part, we can easily "reverse engineer" the part with the use of CMM & Solid-Edge Cad Software to build a 3-D model and manufacture the exact part.

3-D ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

On Complex Assembly's we create Web Based 3-D Animated Assembly instructions for use both in house as well as for the customer to ensure the assembly is put together correctly.
