When you outsource CNC programming to Kaimer CNC, every program is built to your tolerances and industry standards. Our programmers come from aerospace and defense backgrounds across Southern California’s “Space Alley” — hands-on experience that shows in the code. We know how to read MS, ASME, ANSI and customer specific specs so that no details are missed and you get professional grade results without the learning curve of on-boarding new hires.
CAD / CAM software
Mastercam, Solidworks
Verification
Full material removal simulation
Post-processors
Fanuc, Haas, Mazak, Siemens, Okuma + more
Step 04
Delivery & Support
