Streamlined, bi-directional & seamless End-to-End machining process
NCSIMUL 4CAM is enriching the existing CAM process to simplify CNC programming. It provides unparalleled flexibility on the shopfloor. It allows to change, in one click, the target machine, without any CAM reprogramming.
From the main CAM (e.g., CAM solutions from Hexagon such as ESPRIT TNG, EDGECAM, SURFCAM, VISI Machining and ALPHACAM or other CAM solutions such as CATIA CAM, NX CAM, Creo CAM, Mastercam, hyperMILL, POWERMILL, TOPSOLID CAM etc.) or existing CNC programs (G-code format), NCSIMUL 4CAM generates directly (without external post-processor), CNC native programs, verified and optimized taking into account the physical means of the workshop (tools, cutting conditions, kinematics, machine controllers ...)
Challenges
-
Re-write and re-work former CNC programs for new machines without reprogramming
-
Switch part production between machines at the last minute
-
Re-engineer some of your toolpaths and need to reprogram
