Pathtrace leads the CAD/CAM industry with
EdgeCAM Solid Machinist, a powerful and seamlessly integrated CAM system
for generating machining strategies and NC code for solid models.
EdgeCAM Solid Machinist loads EdgeCAM Part Modeler, Autodesk Inventor®,
Pro/ENGINEER®, SolidWorks®, Solid Edge® and CATIA V5 files into EdgeCAM,
where a wide range of innovative features offer a quick and reliable
route to manufacture. EdgeCAM's toolpath to model associativity means that even late changes to the model will not affect the manufacturing lead times. EdgeCAM Solid Machinist detects when the solid design model has changed and notifies the user. The user has the option to update the model to the modified version and automatically identify features that are new or have been changed or deleted. The EdgeCAM toolpaths are regenerated automatically and new NC code is produced. Operational
programming Advanced machining with intelligenceEdgeCAM Solid Machinist provides a complete solution for generating high quality toolpaths for solid models with a wide range of intelligent roughing and finishing cycles. Efficient, reliable and gouge free toolpaths that are optimized for high speed machining give the user the confidence to machine complex parts. Intelligent approach strategies provide high-quality surface finish while optimizing machining times and maximizing tool life. EdgeCAM multiplane machining supports the machining of holes, pockets and surfaces on different faces of the part. This reduces total setup time and takes advantage of multi-axis machine capabilities. EdgeCAM turning provides functionality for a wide range of machine tools, including 2-axis lathes, multi-turret configurations, sub-spindle turning centres and mill/turn machines. Using Feature Finder, EdgeCAM Solid Machinist identifies holes and mill features and creates turn profiles of the maximum turned envelope. These profiles ensure that the whole 3D model is considered for machining by creating a sweep of the maximum turned area, unlike the more usual ‘slicing' method, which just considers a 2D profile through a defined plane. A complete solutionEdgeCAM does much more than generate NC code. Using innovative productivity tools, EdgeCAM develops machining strategies that optimize toolpaths, eliminate unnecessary air cutting, maximize tool life, reduce programming time and increase overall productivity.
