Geometric to Feature CAMWorks® 2011 at EASTEC
Share:
Geometric (www.geometricglobal.com), a leader in developing advanced manufacturing software will feature CAMWorks® 2011 (www.camworks.com), the latest version of its solid-based CNC programming solution, at Booth # 5458 at EASTEC 2011, W. Springfield, MA on May 17-19, 2011.
CAMWorks 2011 is intended to be a more focused upgrade in the CAMWorks line and provide significant new capabilities including enhanced automation, improved knowledge-based machining information, smarter tool paths, and more.
CAMWorks 2011 introduces VoluMill® the ultra high-performance toolpath plug-in engine for high speed milling for 2 .5 axis and 3 axis roughing operations. It is ideal for prismatic parts and complex 3-D shapes as its algorithms result in more intelligent toolpaths to machine pockets, slots, and arbitrary shapes.
For the mold and die industry, Geometric has introduced an optional electrode design solution labeled ElectrodeWorks(TM) that automates all aspects of the calculation and design of EDM electrodes including design, management, documentation and manufacturing. Its seamless integration with SolidWorks/CAMWorksSolids assures complete parametric association of data.
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.
