Baxter said they engage in partnerships with over
30 companies as they work to develop new solutions
–– and he added that they are above average in partner
engagement.
One of their partners/suppliers is CGTech, which
manufactures advanced CNC machining software
called VERICUT that is used in the manufacturing of
helicopter parts.
Baxter said, “VERICUT optimizes how you run a
CNC machine.” He added that by using VERICUT,
a cutting path is optimized and the likelihood of success
in cutting metal parts is increased. The VERI-
CUT website, http://www.cgtech.com, emphasizes
the benefits of the software, as it may be used in a
client environment like Erickson.
