Steel Jaw Segment — CAD/CAM and CNC Milling.

A steel jaw segment, modeled and programmed in CAD/CAM and machined in-house at FabCon. These views show the same part at two stages of the work.

From screen to shop floor

One part. Three stages.

01

Model the part.

The CAD model defines the jaw segment's shape and features before machining.

02

Program the cuts.

Toolpaths are programmed and simulated in CAD/CAM to prepare the machining work.

03

Machine the steel.

The part is machined across multiple setups on a vertical machining center.
