Workflow ideas
Prepare mould geometry
Start from the selected part, stock, machine or cell layout. In the intended WORKNC preview, prepare mould geometry; 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.
Generate automated toolpaths
Begin with the chosen operations, tools or robot tasks. In the intended WORKNC preview, generate automated toolpaths; 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.
Review collision and stock
Use the simulated material removal, robot motion or process results. In the intended WORKNC preview, review collision and stock; 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.
