DESIGN WITH CAD/CAM SOFTWARE
Being able to design and produce all the kind of pieces, from the simplest to the most elaborated ones, Lusorochas is truly oriented to manufacturing special pieces and projects with a high level of detail. For the production of this type of pieces the design department works with the technical drawings of the client or creates its own technical drawings with AutoCad/AutoDesk/Inventor software.
From here is possible to simulate the production of the piece, detect and correct errors and adjust details even before the piece be produced. At this level the execution is so accurate that even the smallest details can be reviewed and readjusted. This allows a great creative liberty as well as a real garantee during the production process.
In Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) computer software is used to create detailed, precise instructions for the machinery. Both software and machinery use numerical control (CNC) applications that include precise measurements. As a result, the manufacturing process can be repeated over and over to the exact same specifications. Such precision is impossible to achieve with handheld or hand-controlled tools. This precision results in a higher quality and uniformity of parts and goods.
CAD - Computer Aided Design
Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) is commonly linked to Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems. The resulting integrated CAD/CAM system the takes the computer-generated design and feeds it directly into the manufacturing system. The design is then converted into multiple computer-controlled processes, such as drilling or turning.
One advantage of CAM is that it canbe used to facilitate customization - the process of creating small batches of products that are custom-designed to suit particular customers. Without CAM and the CAD process that preceeds it, customization would be a time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly process. Computer software, however, allows for easy customization and rapid design changes. The automatic controls of the CAM system make it possible to adjust the machinery automatically for each order.
LEAN philosophy is based on the concepts of lean manufacturing. It is about managing and improving the production process to profitably deliver what the customer needs.
This can be achieved through a number of different approaches. The core idea is to maximize customer value while minimizing waste. Simply, LEAN means creating more value for customers with fewer resources.
A LEAN organization understands customer value and focuses its key processes to continuously increase it. The ultimate goal is to provide perfect value to the customer through a perfect value creation process with zero waste. To accomplish this, LEAN thinking changes the focus of management from optimizing separate technologies, assets and vertical departments to optimizing the flow of products and services through entire value streams that flow horizontally across technologies, assets and departments to customers.
Eliminating waste along entire value streams, instead of at isolated points, creates processes that need less human effort, less space, less capital and less time to make products at far less costs and with much fewer defects, compared with traditional business systems. Companies are able to respond to changing customer desires with high variety, high quality, low cost and with very fast throughput times. Also, information management becomes much simpler and more accurate.
