EdgeCAM Solid Machinist for Autodesk Inventor

Get your Autodesk Inventor parts into production quickly and easily.

EdgeCAM Solid Machinist allows the user to directly and seamlessly machine Autodesk Inventor parts. The Autodesk Inventor user is able to import files directly into EdgeCAM, where a wide range of innovative features offer a quick and reliable route to manufacture.

Guaranteed Data Integrity
True data integrity is achieved because the solid model is not filtered through a translator. The result - more of the models' inherent intelligence can be used to generate the machining strategy.

Feature Finder
When a Autodesk Inventor part is opened in EdgeCAM Solid Machinist it is maintained as a solid model, exactly as it was created. At a single click EdgeCAM Solid Machinist uses automatic feature recognition to interrogate
the solid model to find machineable features. These features can then be machined using EdgeCAM's extensive range of prismatic and free form cutting operations.

Operational Programming
Manufacturing operations can be automatically applied to features - reducing
the number of key-strokes, mouse clicks and the time to generate an NC program.

Toolpath to Model Associativity
EdgeCAM Solid Machinist incorporates toolpath to model associativity meaning, quite simply, that late changes to the model will not affect the manufacturing lead-time. EdgeCAM Solid Machinist will detect and notify the user when a model or part has been changed. It will give the user the option to update to the modified version, including any amended features. EdgeCAM Solid Machinist will recognize dimensional and topological modifications, report on amended features and recalculate the machining strategy and NC code accordingly.

Additional Features
EdgeCAM Solid Machinist for Autodesk Inventor also includes:

Adaptive Roughing Cycle
Adaptive Rest Roughing
Flat Land Finishing
