Success Story
ZAP Usinagem was looking to implement a modern CAM solution but did not previously have a CAM system in place. As part of its investment decision, the company evaluated different CAM solutions available on the market, with a focus on programming efficiency, process reliability, and the ability to adapt the software to its manufacturing workflows.
The challenge was not only to select a CAM platform, but also to successfully implement it and establish efficient, standardized programming processes within a short timeframe.
The project aimed to:
OptiNC led the complete implementation of Autodesk Fusion CAD/CAM at ZAP Usinagem, combining software configuration, training, customization, automation, and on-site consulting.
The project included comprehensive training focused on the company’s actual manufacturing workflows, allowing the team to quickly transition from learning the software to applying it in real production scenarios.
To further adapt Fusion to ZAP Usinagem’s needs, OptiNC developed customized process sheets, a 3D digital machine model for simulation, and custom post-processors for the company’s CNC equipment.
The implementation also included the OptiNC Add-In for Fusion, providing automation capabilities that reduce repetitive tasks and streamline CAM programming.
Throughout the implementation, OptiNC provided on-site consulting to solve challenges as they emerged and ensure that the new workflows were practical, reliable, and aligned with ZAP Usinagem’s production requirements.
The complete implementation was completed in just 40 days.
Following the implementation, ZAP Usinagem achieved a significant improvement in CAM programming productivity.
The company now programs parts approximately 40% faster compared with the competing CAM solutions it evaluated during its investment process.
This productivity improvement was achieved through the combination of Autodesk Fusion’s integrated CAD/CAM environment, customized workflows, machine simulation, dedicated post-processors, process standardization, and OptiNC automation.
Beyond the software itself, the structured implementation and hands-on consulting enabled ZAP Usinagem to establish a complete and efficient CAM programming workflow in a short period of time.
By combining Autodesk Fusion with OptiNC’s implementation, customization, and automation expertise, ZAP Usinagem successfully established its first CAM programming environment in only 40 days.
The project delivered more than a new CAM system—it created a customized manufacturing workflow designed around the company’s specific needs. With 40% faster CAM programming, standardized processes, machine simulation, customized post-processors, and automation through OptiNC, ZAP Usinagem gained a more productive and scalable foundation for its manufacturing operations.
