TekSoft Releases ProCAM II with Machining Intelligence for Automation
Scottsdale, AZ - October 15, 2001 - TekSoft, Inc, a leading provider of CAD/CAM software solutions, and a leading innovator of state-of-the-art CAM technologies continues in their tradition of developing powerful, yet easy to use CAM applications, with the release of ProCAM II. Leading the list of significant enhancements, ProCAM II can now be complimented with TekSoft's Solids Machining option featuring leading-edge advances in CAM technologies pioneered by TekSoft including; Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR), Interactive Feature Recognition (IFR), Automatic Operations Generation, and Knowledge-Based Machining. "We've taken the advanced technologies developed for our CAMWorks product and integrated them into ProCAM," explains Dennis Roberson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for TekSoft. "Last year," Mr. Roberson adds, "CAMWorks was the hottest CAM application on the market growing at an incredible 67%. We contribute that success to the advanced technologies designed into CAMWorks that automate and simplify the process of CNC programming. Now ProCAM II has the power of CAMWorks bringing the user one step closer to point and click machining." ProCAM II's already easy-to-use Windows interface gets a modernized look and feel with such features as moveable and dockable toolbars, and customizable desktop configurations. ProCAM II uses the Optimized OpenGL graphics standard, which provides rapid, high-resolution display of complex images. New machining enhancements include direct solids cutting, high-speed machining, tapered tool support for 2 and 3 axis machining, rough drill pocketing, improved surface roughing, rough rest machining, plus many more major improvements.
