This collaborative project between Tebis and machine manufacturer Hermle made the hearts of all VW Bus fans beat a bit faster: The Baden VW Bus Team ordered a 1:5 model made of its beautiful black and red 1960 VW T1 Bus. 

Design and reverse engineering

• Digitalizing the Bus
• Reducing data for maximum performance in reverse engineering
• Reverse engineering of surfaces right on the reference model and optimizing interactively with just a few mouse clicks
• Easily designing new surfaces
• Starting CAM programming with high-quality data

CAM programming

• 3D roughing with automatic collision avoidance accounting for the machine head
• 3Ds finishing with toroidal tools
• Flexibly adapting extensive strategies for 5-axis simultaneous roughing and finishing
• Optimized residual stock machining
• Best surface quality thanks to outstanding starting surfaces and targeted point distribution
