| Guaranteed
data integrity
EdgeCAM Solid Machinist loads
native Autodesk Inventor parts and assemblies without translation,
enabling EdgeCAM to utilize more of the intelligence contained
within the model to generate efficient machining strategies.
With EdgeCAM Solid Machinist, individual
parts and assemblies are loaded directly into EdgeCAM.
Automatic 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, including threading data are found and
information relating to these features extracted. This
information is used to select the correct tools and
to machine the features using EdgeCAM's extensive range of
cutting strategies.
Toolpath
to model associativity
The associative link between
EdgeCAM Solid Machinist and Autodesk Inventor significantly
reduces the burden of reworking NC programs following a design
change.
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
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 toolpaths are regenerated automatically and new
NC code is produced.
Operational
programming
Manufacturing operations are applied automatically to features,
significantly reducing the number of keystrokes, mouse clicks
and the time it takes to generate the NC program.
Optimized data management with Autodesk Vault
EdgeCAM links directly to Autodesk Vault, the key component of Autodesk's data management solution. By storing design and EdgeCAM part files in a secure, centralized location, engineers can easily find, reference and reuse both CAD and CAM data. A further benefit of the integration is that additional file properties are stored with the EdgeCAM part file and these can displayed inside Vault and Microsoft Windows Explorer™, making it easier to manage EdgeCAM data.
