PACIFIC NORTHWEST AEROSPACE ALLIANCE SPOTLIGHT S taton gave another example of a customer locally with whom Capture 3D was able to work alongside to increase their throughput rate by 75 percent, simply by switching their systems and then optimizing the process within the system switch. “To put some rough numbers on it, the CMM time for this part was running at about 23 hours; we’ve gotten that down to less than 45 minutes.” How are the results achieved? Part of how this was accomplished was through Capture 3D’s customer service approach. They strive to keep in mind that a lot of their custom- ers are making parts for someone else, and they work with the customer to ensure that they are accomplishing what the customer needs inter- nally, and also developing a system with the end customers’ needs in mind. To do this they evaluate, refine, and streamline the whole process during implementation of the new system. “…it’s hard to put a price on having a team that’s genuinely dedicated not just on the sales side but dedicated from the demo of the system, to the implementing of the system, to developing a process, to being there to support the system through the line. If companies aren’t making parts, they’re not making money. So, if our sys- tem is in that process it needs to be up, and the up time is extremely critical.” So whether you’re an OEM or a small manufacturing business with a foot in aero- space, and you want to find out why the likes of NASA, Honeywell, Rolls Royce, Pratt & Whitney and others trust ATOS, Staton and the team at Capture 3D encour- age you to call, email, send up a smoke signal, or stop by their facility in Issaquah, and ask your questions to find out what their team can do for you and yours.
