“BobCAD was our choice of software based on software features and price after evaluating several options at start-up of our company”, says Paul.
The BobCAD CAD-CAM system allowed Blackfin Manufacturing to immediately design and produce CNC parts the very first day they installed the software package. “Our Engineer, Brandon Gutierrez, designed parts and BobCAD produced CNC code that cut excellent parts on our CNC Router the very first time! We were amazed that we did not have to edit or modify a single line of code. Brandon quickly learned additional features of the software that allowed us to machine and nest parts very efficiently which allows us to cut cost ad offer our customers lower prices. Brandon routinely achieves 100% product yield!”, says Paul.
