Advanced CAD/CAM
At Modern Methods, our manufacturing precision begins long before the machine cuts metal. We utilize a sophisticated CAD/CAM programming approach designed to maximize efficiency, eliminate translation errors, and ensure seamless transition from digital design to the factory floor.
Enterprise CAM Architecture & Custom Post-Processing
For over two decades, our team has leveraged the unique strengths of SmartCam alongside our integration of Esprit CAM. While many shops rely on standard, out-of-the-box software configurations, we specialize in developing highly customized post-processors within these platforms.
This deep technical capability sets Modern Methods apart. By custom-tailoring our post-processors to our specific machine tools, we eliminate manual editing at the control panel, optimize toolpaths for reduced cycle times, and guarantee absolute fidelity between the engineered model and the finished high-tolerance component.
Seamless Model Import & Digital Data Integration
We maintain digital compatibility with all major aerospace and defense OEMs. Our systems natively ingest and translate complex native and neutral CAD file formats, safeguarding data integrity throughout the data-transfer process. We accept a wide array of industry-standard translation formats, including:
- STEP & IGES (Solid models and surfaces)
- DXF (Precision 2D geometry)
- SET & VDA (Advanced surface data)
By coupling robust digital file translation with proprietary post-processing capabilities, Modern Methods accelerates production timelines while mitigating engineering risk from day one.
