Matritech uses CAM and CAD software to optimize design, production

Computer design software is a huge asset to Matritech.

For more than 30 years, Matritech Inc. has provided world-class custom-machined components in Canada and beyond. The company offers unsurpassed service and skill for businesses in the construction, energy, rail, medical, automotive, and other sectors. A major ingredient in Matritech’s success is computer-aided manufacturing and design software (CAM and CAD software).

By using these tools in its production process with every customer, the Matritech team attains many significant advantages over its competition.

Quicker and more efficient engineering

Since the company was founded in the late 1980s, computer technology has evolved substantially. Matritech has continued to adapt to these changes in its design system and manufacturing practices, in part by adopting computer-aided design and production. With the assistance of advanced CAM and CAD software like Autocad, Master Cam X4, and Solid Edge ST2, Matritech’s design and engineering work is much quicker and more efficient. This is how the team can deliver its products in a timely manner to all of its clients.

With this electronic software, Matritech can import customers’ CAD files, work with time, and use the data as the source for the CNC programs that control the company’s production equipment, wasting no time or effort. The staff have saved ample time for years through this process.

An advantage of this CAM and CAD software is its synchronous technology: it allows designers to manipulate objects directly, unlike history-based CAD systems. Matritech’s personnel can work with customers’ CAD models without needing to know anything about how they are built. In addition, the technology can make software more intuitive, which enables more focus on design without wasting a lot of time on learning how to use the programs.

After it replaced its history-based software with this synchronous technology, Matritech yielded immediate, substantial improvement in design productivity. The organization now takes about 40 per cent less time to design its components than it did under the previous system. It takes approximately 30 per cent less time to make changes to existing CAD models than it did before.

Computer-aided processes help Matritech complete products efficiently and quickly every time.
