EDGECAM
EDGECAM supports production machining, feature recognition and CNC code preparation.
On the software discovery list. Connector development and release dates have not been announced.
Workflow ideas
Recognise machinable features
Use the selected part, stock, machine or cell layout. In the intended EDGECAM preview, recognise machinable features; the visible result is a process setup with work coordinates, resources and target geometry visible. Review orientation, reach, tooling and fixture assumptions before accepting or exporting it.
Build an operation sequence
Start from the chosen operations, tools or robot tasks. In the intended EDGECAM preview, build an operation sequence; the visible result is a generated path or production sequence over the same setup. Review clearance, collisions, limits, feeds and operation order before accepting or exporting it.
Verify and post CNC code
Begin with the simulated material removal, robot motion or process results. In the intended EDGECAM preview, verify and post CNC code; the visible result is a verification view with remaining stock, reach or cycle data exposed. Review collisions, code target, cycle time and safe human approval before accepting or exporting it.
