EdgeCAM Part Modeler™


Modeling for manufacture with Pathtrace's own solid modeler.

 
EdgeCAM Part Modeler provides users with a modeling tool specifically for simple part construction, manufacturing modifications, and fixture building.

"Many of our users have a need to modify customer's parts, to enable manufacture," says Brian Steatham, Managing Director of Pathtrace. "These modifications are often minor, and the power and complexity available in design solutions provided by mainstream solid CAD producers is simply not needed. EdgeCAM Part Modeler is a perfect solution for users of CAM software who have a need to construct or visualize workholding systems, such as turning chucks or milling jigs and fixtures," continues Mr. Steatham.


EdgeCAM Part Modeler enables quick and simple construction or editing of 3D solid models. It benefits manufacturing engineers by providing a cost effective and immediate solid CAD facility, complete with fully associative drafting capability.

EdgeCAM Part Modeler can quickly create solid parts and perform Boolean operations to generate mold cores, cavities and EDM electrodes as well as jigs and fixtures. Coupled with EdgeCAM Solid Machinist, EdgeCAM Part Modeler provides a complete solid-based CAD/CAM solution. It provides the manufacturing engineer with an easy-to-use and cost-effective solid modeler for both parts and assembled bodies.

Procedural Modeling

Part Modeler has the ability to execute a series of logically grouped feature construction steps as a single keystroke. The procedures can be driven by design and manufacturing rules that can be executed simultaneously across multiple parts of an assembly with automatic part-to-part association.

Drafting
EdgeCAM Part Modeler provides the user with a fully associative drafting tool.

Features include

• 2D and 3D drafting
• Display modes: Wire frame, Shaded, Hidden Line and Hidden Line Removed
• Isometric, Plan and Orthogonal Views
