Pathtrace
announces EdgeCAM 11.0 release |
| |
| Pathtrace is pleased to
announce the latest release of its advanced offline CNC programming
software, EdgeCAM. Version 11 introduces a wide range of new
features across the product range ensuring all customers receive
productivity benefits from this major release. |
Incorporating
new functionality to support 4 and 5-axis simultaneous milling
on latest generation machine tools, as well as improved drilling
routines for automatically finding and machining holes through
cylindrical and conical faces, EdgeCAM 11 provides users with
a wealth of new machining capabilities.
“Advanced milling and mill/turn machines offer enormous
productivity improvements and EdgeCAM 11 enables businesses
to maximise their investment by making the full range of 4 and
5-Axis cycles available” says Dave Boucher, CAM Product
Director, Planit Holdings PLC. “The 4 and 5-Axis axis
strategies in EdgeCAM have been designed with multi-task machines
in mind and offer unparalleled ease of use for this advanced
technology”.In parallel, enhanced
productivity features deliver faster and simpler operation,
along with reduced component floor-to-floor times. Improved
boundary control and new ‘rest roughing’ functionality
minimise operator input and geometry creation on both roughing
and finishing cuts, while a new tool optimisation routine
ensures the most effective utilisation of cutting tools, particularly
on multiple part set-ups. |
 |
| The associative
link to all major CAD systems is fundamental to EdgeCAM Solid
Machinist, which reads native data, avoiding translation problems
or potential issues with 3rd party tools. EdgeCAM 11 offers
improved handling of 3D models from a wide range of proprietary
CAD systems to provide faster operation and shorter programming
times.
With a complete range of 2-5 Axis
milling strategies, turning and mill/turn capability, state-of-the-art
machine tool simulation combined with seamless CAD/CAM integration
and sophisticated automation tools, EdgeCAM is the only CAM
system you’ll ever need.
