Agility as a Competitive Advantage

When asked what makes Stingray successful in such a specialized market, Brian’s answer was simple: AGILITY

“Because we’re not a huge multi-national we can move fast,” he said. “When you call here, you talk to someone who knows what they’re talking about. With our larger competitors, you end up playing phone tag just to get an answer.” That ability to respond quickly, without corporate red tape or layers of approval, has helped Stingray thrive in an industry dominated by conglomerates. “When companies get big, every decision takes forever,” Brian explained.
“For us, we can pivot immediately to meet a customer’s need. That’s where we win.”

It’s a philosophy that mirrors Eureka’s own culture, a company built on responsiveness, technical depth, and customer connection rather than bureaucratic processes.
As Shaun Mymudes, Eureka’s Business Development Manager, noted during the interview:
“We’ll never act like a big company, no matter how big we get. The best companies to work with are the ones that stay agile.”

From Handwritten Code to Digital Confidence

Conclusion

In an industry where precision is everything, speed, trust, and human connection can be the deciding factors between progress and paralysis. For Stingray Surgical, partnering with Eureka wasn’t just about simulation software – it was about confidence, collaboration, and control. When two nimble companies join forces, innovation doesn’t just happen faster, it happens smarter. Eureka Simulation + Stingray Surgical: Small company agility. Big results.

The Eureka Solution

Chronos G-code Optimizer

Customer Comment

Brother Isidore Mary, the primary Eureka User said, “The Chronos G-code optimizer has been a game changer as well. We’ve consistently seen that Chronos takes very good CAM-optimized toolpaths and gains another 10-15%. Our part runtimes are measured in hours and days, so even a 5% gain can equal an hour per part. This is huge!
Since Chronos analyzes the material removal rate of the entire toolpath, it has also helped us to run faster while at the same time being easier on our machines. Once we define an ideal rate for the tool assembly, Chronos does the rest. For roughing out material, we frequently use wheels up to 4 feet in diameter, and the ability of Chronos to soften the plunge of a cutter that size to keep a consistent removal rate is impressive. This ability has even enabled us to run machinings that were impossible to program properly in Mastercam. All around, Chronos has been an incredible efficiency booster, consistently delivering superior results.”

A Unique Partnership

The story of the Carmelite Monks exemplifies the synergy between tradition and technology. While their monastic life is rooted in contemplation and prayer, their entrepreneurial spirit has driven them to embrace modern CNC innovations. With Eureka, they have successfully merged craftsmanship with digital precision, proving that even in the most unexpected places, technology can be a vital tool for progress.

Visit us at the 19th China International Machine Tool Show | Hall. B3 Stand 419

The China International Machine Tool Show (CIMT), held every two years since 1989, is one of the world’s leading machine tool exhibitions, on par with EMO (Europe), IMTS (USA), and JIMTOF (Japan). CIMT2023, the 18th edition, took place from April 10–15, 2023 in Beijing and covered 140,000 square meters with over 1,580 exhibitors from 28 countries. The event attracted over 242,000 visitors, setting historic records in attendance and engagement. With the theme “Collaborative innovation on digital & intelligent manufacturing is embracing the future”, CIMT2023 showcased cutting-edge technologies, hosted 128 technical seminars, and included pavilions from 13 countries. The event played a key role in supporting China’s post-pandemic industrial recovery and reaffirmed CIMT’s position as a global hub for innovation and manufacturing trends.

The new plug in is available for download

Autodesk has officially published the plugin for the integration of Fusion360 with EurekaVirtualMachining.

If you have Fusion360 and use Eureka, you can transfer tools, working origins, equipment, raw and finished model from Fusion360 to Eureka completely automatically.
The plugin works with Eureka G-Code and Eureka Chronos for verification and optimization of Toolpaths, with Eureka Robot for off-line programming of industrial robots and with Eureka NC Coder for programming and simulating mull-turn multi-channel machines and Swiss-type machines.

The new plugin is available on the Autodesk portal and is free. Click here to download.

Eng. Francesco Minutillo, Production Engineering Manager, explains: “After a comparative analysis with other simulation software, we chose Eureka for some simple but fundamental reasons:

1. The ease of installation and use of the software;

2. The ability to simulate machines with complex kinematics such as those that we produce in Pama and use in our workshop;

3. The possibility of simulating parametric programs using advanced Siemens functions ;

4. The excellent and timely technical support that Roboris provides;

In my opinion, when you decide to purchase complex and specialized software, the support that the manufacturer is able to provide must be carefully evaluated, as this can be the key factor for the success or failure of the entire implementation project. ”

The latest version of Eureka Virtual Machining is available

The new version of Eureka Virtual Machining is available with many new features and one main objective: improving machining performance:

> Graphics rendering of the CNC machine is much more realistic and informative

> Stock model is precise in every detail

> New G-Code assistant module that completely revolutionizes creating and modifying programs right inside Eureka

> New FANUC BRIDGE module with real-time simulation and cycle time prediction

> Tool library enhancements

RESULTS

“Before using Eureka, programming was done manually and only the programmer’s experience could guarantee a good job. We always needed to do machine proving out, it was long, difficult, and with the risk of collisions, especially for complex blocks.

Now, thanks to the interaction of CAM + Eureka, placement is faster, without collisions and even the first piece produced complies with the required specifications.

The many tools present in Eureka, including the comparison between the machined blank and the 3D finished part, allows you to check if the machined part conforms to that of the customer.“

CLAAS is a family business founded in 1913 and is one of the world's leading manufacturers of agricultural engineering equipment. The company, with corporate headquarters in Harsewinkel, Westphalia, is the European market leader in combine harvesters. CLAAS is the world leader in another large product group, self-propelled forage harvesters. CLAAS is also a top performer in world-wide agricultural engineering with tractors, agricultural balers and green harvesting machinery. For machine tool simulation and staff training, CLAAS has chosen Eureka!

This is what Martin Kappius, Head of Industry 4.0, CLAAS Industrietechnik GmbH, Paderborn told about us:

“Thanks to Eureka, we have the opportunity to train our employees on the machine in an accurate and reliable digital version months before the real machine is installed in the factory. This means that the machine is ready to be used more quickly after installation and our employees already know how to use it.

Before the introduction of Eureka, the break-in and test times of the new parts could take up to 2-3 days. After the introduction of Eureka we were able to reduce it by about 50% “
