Delcam claims its systems have been used on virtually every major aircraft programme in recent years and its customers encompass all areas of aircraft manufacture from developing more fuel efficient engines, through to manufacturing airframe components more effectively and designing more comfortable and more attractive interiors. They have worked on all scales of project, from the manufacture of components for UAVs and helicopters up to the production of engines and airframes for passenger and transport aircraft.
Delcam also supports a large number of MRO operations. These companies use Delcam systems to enable the fast, efficient repair or replacement of damaged components. By minimising design and manufacturing times while maintaining high levels of quality, repairs can be completed as quickly as possible, so minimising the lost operating time of the aircraft.
Delcam has developed a comprehensive range of systems for every type of machine tool, from simple lathes and 2D mills, up to the most sophisticated 5-axis machining centres and multi-spindle, turn/mill equipment. However, the company also produces a complete portfolio of supporting software, for component design, tooling design, reverse engineering and inspection. All of the programs are available as standalone solutions to enhance existing systems or as part of a complete turnkey solution.
It also offers a range of services from its Professional Services Group to help companies whose own engineering resource is needed to maintain existing operations. The support given can vary from providing extra design and programming resources when existing staff are overloaded, through to developing completely new turnkey processes for the manufacture of innovative designs.
The Group works closely with Delcam's in-house engineering workshop, which is equipped with production scale machining and inspection equipment. As well as allowing thorough validation all software before release, this facility provides an ideal opportunity for companies to test new processes or to produce short runs of prototype parts without any disruption to their day to day operations.
