Xcelaero Corporation

Requirement

CAM software that improved the efficiency of tool path generation, integrated with Xcelaero’s existing fan design software and created continuous 5-axis blade and vane surfaces.

CN Solution

CN MAX-PAC CAM software was chosen to produce seamless vane surfaces particularly at the leading and trailing edges and vane root fillets.

Benefit

Reduced the time required to create 5-axis programs for shrouded vane sets from one week to two days. Additionally, the tool paths generated reduced manufacturing time by 40 percent.
