CAD/CAM Programming
At The Metal Shop, we utilize advanced CAD/CAM software to streamline design and machining workflows, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and reduced lead times.
Software Capabilities
Mastercam – Industry-leading software for 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-axis milling, trusted worldwide for complex machining.
Solid Edge – 3D CAD environment for creating and synchronizing parts, assemblies, and drawings, allowing rapid design adjustments and error-free prototypes.
MetaCAM-EX – Specialized for sheet metal cutting and bending, with a bend module for precise custom-formed parts, reverse engineering, and compatibility with file types like SolidWorks, SolidEdge, AutoCAD, Inventor, and DXFs.
Advantages
Seamless Integration: From design to machining, ensuring parts are right the first time.
Flexibility: Handles everything from single parts to large assemblies with thousands of components.
Efficiency: Reduces quoting and production time while maintaining precision.
Compatibility: Works across major CAD file formats and communicates with a range of CNC cutting machines and press brakes.
By combining Mastercam, Solid Edge, and MetaCAM, we deliver a complete digital workflow that supports faster turnaround, higher accuracy, and cost-effective production.
The Metal Shop was started in 2002 by Duane Swift. After spending 30 years in the Navy and working for another exhibit company, the opportunity to start a small business was offered.
