DISCUS Software Increases Productivity at 3D Machine Company As a part of our commitment to continuous improvement, and in compliance with AS9100, we have added new, cutting-edge DISCUS software to enhance our quality assurance system at 3D Machine Company. Our new software allows us to manage the Technical Data Package (TDP) at the characteristic level of detail, enabling us to view a drawing or model and quickly identify the features and characteristics of a part or assembly. We can then use this information to create downstream artifacts for manufacturing and quality assurance, including first-article and in-process inspection plans. The result is increased efficiency in our manufacturing and quality assurance operations, and improved productivity and reliability throughout our organization. Our ongoing investment in cutting-edge information technology means faster deliveries and even better value for our customers. Contact us to learn more about our new DISCUS software and what 3D Machine Company can do for you.

3D Machine at the Movies In addition to Rambo-clad Guinea Pigs, the new Jerry Bruckheimer film “G-Force” features custom-machined components manufactured by 3D Machine Company. “We worked on the kitchen appliances that ‘transform’ in the movie: the coffee maker, the microwave oven, and the refrigerator,” explains Costel Falcusan, president of 3D Machine Company. “We made all the shiny aluminum parts.” The G-Force project was a perfect fit for the advanced CAD/CAM and 5-axis machining capabilities at 3D Machine Company. We produced these one-off components quickly and efficiently, while seamlessly incorporating design changes from the studio along the way. Everything worked out perfectly. The filmmakers got their talking kitchen appliances on time and within budget; and the entire crew at 3D Machine Company, and their families, got a free trip to the movies on opening night to see their products up on the big screen.
