Access Manufacturing Systems, with four other locations covering over 20 states and Canada is a major reseller for CAMWorks worldwide. The new office will service both Illinois and Indiana. GoEngineer, whose primary focus to date has been the California market, recently increased its presence in Texas with the acquisition of Texas Engineering Systems, with locations throughout Texas.
CAMWorks, one of several desktop technologies from Geometric, provides significant new capabilities including enhanced automation, improved knowledge-based machining information, smarter tool paths, and more. The latest version, CAMWorks 2011 includes VoluMill® the ultra high-performance toolpath plug-in engine for high speed milling for 2 .5 axis and 3 axis roughing operations. Feature Recognition, which is used to automatically identify areas to be machined, has been upgraded to find more features, while decreasing computation times by more than 50% over previous CAMWorks versions. Additional enhancements with CAMWorks 2011 include improved performance and enhanced feature recognition of slot features with fillet and taper as well as slots with islands. Users can now define customized turn inserts when it is not possible to completely machine a turn part using a standard turn insert line diamond, square, etc. Such custom turn inserts can be defined for inner as well as outer diameter.
Access Manufacturing Systems, established in 1990 and based in Salem, NH, is a private reseller of CAMWorks. The company is a leading reseller for CAMWorks. GoEngineer provides solutions from CAMWorks with training, services, and technical support resources throughout the Western and South Central United States.
