Guaranteed data integrity
With EdgeCAM Solid Machinist, the solid model created in Pro/ENGINEER is not filtered through a translator resulting in more of the intelligence contained within the model being used by EdgeCAM to generate efficient machining strategies. With EdgeCAM Solid Machinist for Pro/ENGINEER, individual parts and assemblies can be loaded directly into EdgeCAM.
Feature finding
EdgeCAM Solid Machinist uses automatic feature recognition to interrogate the solid model to find machinable features. At a single click, pocket, boss and hole features can be found and information relating to these features extracted. This information is then used to select the correct tools to machine the features using EdgeCAM's extensive range of cutting strategies.
Toolpath to model
associativity
The associative link between EdgeCAM Solid Machinist and the original design model significantly reduces the burden of reworking NC programs, even late changes to the model will not affect the manufacturing lead times. EdgeCAM Solid Machinist will detect when the solid design model has changed and notify the user. It will give the user the option to update the model to the modified version and automatically identify features that are new or have been amended or deleted.
Operational programming
Manufacturing operations can be applied automatically to features – significantly reducing the number of keystrokes, mouse clicks and the time it takes to generate the NC program.
