Success Story
Framas Korea Vina (FKV) has a ArgieCharmilles CUT 20 Wire EDM machine to leverage their manufacturing process besides multi-axis milling CNCs. Their staff have never used any wire EDM machine before, and are not familiar with wire-cutting technology and the applications. The team is only familiar with using electrodes to form the shape in a complex mold. The machine provider has identified solutions that they are familiar with; however, these solutions were not familiar with customers - both in terms of interface and the standard processes required by consultants to produce quality output.
The primary project goal was to get the team used to Wire EDM technology with a perfect adoption process. The solution required identifying and implementing the right software solution, programming Wire EDM, and also delivering a training service to support services staff and helping to ensure the investment on hardware and software will produce a good outcome.
Framas Korea Vina contacted Autodesk Solution Provider OneCAD due to a longtime consulting engagement that proved the services we provide is always the best-in-class. In Autodesk’s portfolio, we have FeatureCAM to support multiple machining technologies that include Wire EDM programming. Familiar interface sharing between FeatureCAM and PowerMill gives a lot of confidence for customers to quickly adopt the technology.
OneCAD’s experts are always there to ensure the implementation is much easier with advice and direct support for users. Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) and Interactive Feature Recognition (IFR) technology from FeatureCAM help users to quickly get the right feature with the right information about dimension and corner radius to help the process of programming go much quicker and easier for new users.
The knowledge from experience transfers to Machining Attributes to help minimize the steps needed to get the perfect setting that is so important in FeatureCAM, and shows more and more the benefits from using one software solution.
Framas Korea Vina is now enjoying the benefits of wire EDM machine and technology. Using wire EDM to fill the gap of milling and turning technology for the design team can help the design process run much more efficiently that traditional manufacturing processes cannot achieve.
The Wire EDM solution from Autodesk FeatureCAM may not be as well known in the industry, but it can do the job, and get the movement that is required for quality output without error.

Tackle Complex Surfaces with Autodesk PowerMill Advanced Toolpaths
Kenstone was dealing with complex shapes for their jigs and fixtures to support assembly. The existing CAM solution that the customer is using cannot fulfill the need for a solution to tackle complex shapes and quickly generate toolpaths for CNC machines. Dealing with numerous parts that needed to be machined required a shortened lead time for programming and machining. Especially the complex shapes must be in good surface quality. Autodesk PowerMill was identified to likely be the best solution that solved both the important time and quality need. Moreover, the possibility of automated programming will be a big advantage to achieve more production.
Artistic Die Components Quality Achieved with Autodesk PowerMill
In the first stage of establishing their manufacturing facilities, the Marigot Manufacturing Manager is looking for a comprehensive CAM Solution with the best support to assist with onboarding new staff and new machines with an efficient workflow. The challenge is that their products are very complex as the shape for the artistic jewelry, watches and decoration components are small in size. Implementation is vital, especially new staff who need specific training to get used to the solution and the shape of the part. OneCAD Vietnam approached Marigot and took on the challenge very seriously by helping with CAM programming on their parts and supervising the machining to make sure they understood the best process and cutting parameters for hardened material like SKD.
From Autodesk Product Design & Manufacturing Collection to Advanced CAM Solution
A long-time user of the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection (PDMC), Autodesk has given the ASAMA Team a comprehensive toolset to address their design and manufacturing challenges. For example, from drawing 2D to 3D models to great rendering tools for marketing the product even before the actual product is manufactured. There are no questions about the value received from the Autodesk Product Design & Manufacturing Collection, but for a market that evolves very fast and demand of customers is very high, ASAMA recognized the need to implement even more advanced manufacturing solutions including PowerMill. Autodesk PowerMill is world famous for its dedicated strategies, high finishing quality and time savings in the actual machining process.
