CNC programming & production optimisation

Robust programs, clear setup information and practical prove-out.

MGC provides online and offline CNC programming and engineering support from component data and machining strategy through to implementation on the machine.

Precision component and engineering drawings

Programming delivery

Support across the complete programming workflow.

Scope is matched to the job, machine and available engineering data—from focused code support to a complete programming and setup package.

01

Review & strategy

Assess drawings, models, material, tolerance, machine capability and production priorities.

02

CAD & fixtures

Prepare or interpret models, operation geometry and workholding requirements.

03

CAM & CNC code

Develop efficient toolpaths and machine-ready programs for the target control.

04

Tool selection

Define tooling, holders, reach and cutting data in the context of each operation.

05

Setup information

Provide component orientation, datum, tool positions and operation guidance for the shop floor.

06

Prove-out & handover

Support verification, adjustments and a controlled transition into production.

Machine and control experience

Milling, turning and multi-tasking work.

Programming support is shaped around the control, machine configuration, component and risk—not a generic post-process.

MAZATROL

Mazatrol & Mazak

Conversational program understanding and complex Mazak applications including multi-tasking environments.

ISO

Fanuc-style controls

G-code programming, cycles, offsets and multi-axis strategies for compatible control families.

SIEMENS

Siemens environments

Programming and production support aligned with Siemens-controlled machine workflows.

MILL

3-, 4- and 5-axis

Operation planning, toolpath creation and verification for complex milling work.

TURN

Turning & live tooling

Lathe and mill-turn programming, including driven tools and multi-operation components.

SPECIALIST

Demanding components

Experience spanning precision engineering, aerospace and oil-and-gas manufacturing contexts, including complex sealing features.

Production optimisation

Improve the flow around the program as well as the code.

Cycle time is only one part of production performance. MGC can review program handling, version control, setup readiness, machine visibility, tooling and handover between engineering and the shop floor.

  • Toolpath and cutting-strategy review
  • Program-transfer and revision workflow
  • Setup and document consistency
  • Machine-utilisation and event visibility with CIMCO
  • Lean Six Sigma process analysis
  • Prioritised improvement roadmap
Engineering collaboration around manufacturing data

Manufacturing partnerships

Flexible engineering capacity for a defined job or longer programme.

MGC can work remotely or alongside your team, using supplied drawings, PDFs, DWG/DXF, IGES, STEP, STL and compatible native CAD data. Delivery can include models, drawings, fixtures, programs, setup sheets and implementation support.
