CNC programming
Online and offline programming, toolpath planning, setup information and on-machine verification.
Engineering support & manufacturing partnerships
Add specialist capability around the production requirement.
MGC provides flexible engineering support for focused projects, capacity gaps and longer improvement programmes across CNC, CAD/CAM, software and training.
Specialist services
Work packages that connect cleanly with your team.
Support can be remote, on-site where agreed, or a combination—using your systems or MGC’s engineering tools as the project requires.
CAD design & CAM
2D/3D modelling, fixtures, operation drawings, manufacturing strategy and post-processor review.
Software implementation
CIMCO editing, communication, data-management and machine-monitoring workflows.
Technical training
Company-specific programmes for CNC, controls, CIMCO and CAD/CAM capability.
Process improvement
Lean Six Sigma analysis of flow, waste, variability, handover and production information.
Technical problem solving
Focused support when programs, software or engineering workflow issues interrupt progress.
Real delivery · historical project (2021)
CNC program transfer and communications — an Aberdeen implementation.
A local manufacturer described difficulties moving CNC programmes using PMC cards. MGC supplied and installed a CIMCO DNC-Max server, wireless communication hardware and CNC parameter updates as part of an agreed implementation.
RequirementMore reliable transfer of NC programmes from the master PC to machines
DeliveredDNC-Max integration, connectivity hardware, parameter and software updates
Client feedbackThe client reported improved programme control and transfer reliability
Historical example drawn from MGC's 2021 case study. Results and scope are specific to that project; no quantified savings are claimed.
Engineering data
Work from the information the project already has.
MGC can work with traditional drawings and common exchange formats, including PDF, DWG/DXF, IGES, STEP and STL, as well as compatible native 3D CAD data such as SolidWorks, Inventor, CATIA, TopSolid and Parasolid-based files.
- Models and manufacturing geometry
- Operation and setup drawings
- Tooling and workholding definition
- CNC programs and supporting setup sheets
- Implementation and handover guidance
