Quicker Setup Time – For a job shop, setup time is critical. This enhanced ability to influence feature-based machining for complex requirements in combination with Intelligent Knowledge Base (TechDB™) allows end users to eliminate the routine elements in CNC programming and focus on their core expertise. CAMWorks 2015 has bolstered its ability to interpret non-prismatic surfaces on solid models as machinable entities automatically. One example is the color based recognition of complex surfaces making it easier and quicker to define features by avoiding the traditional chains and profiles methodology. Quicker Programming Time – CAMWorks 2015 has over a dozen enhancements focused on shortening the programming time. CAMWorks 2015 focuses on making the entire design to part cycle shorter. In today’s environment, manufacturers need to be able to do more with less – less design time, program time, setup time and machining time. In addition, Geometrics’ high speed machining module, CAMWorks VoluMill is also available, offering to reduce cycle time and increase tool life for rough milling operations.Geometric, a leader in advanced manufacturing software, will preview its latest release of CNC programming automation solution, CAMWorks® 2015, in Booth E-3320, IMTS 2014 in Chicago, Illinois from September 8 – 13, 2014.

The proprietary automatic feature recognition and patented technology database also allow users to capture and automatically reuse their best practices to reduce programming time.ĬAMWorks Virtual Machine is also available for Solid Edge, to produce G-Code machine simulation with collision detection to eliminate dry-runs, looking to reduce setup time. One of the main benefits Geometric are pushing is that by using CAMWorks inside Solid Edge, the design and manufacturing models become one in the same, with the fully associative tool paths updating automatically to design changes. Looking to support a wide variety of CNC machining needs within Solid Edge, in addition to 2-1/2 and 3-Axis milling support, 4 and 5 simultaneous milling and multi-axis Mill Turn machining are all now fully supported. Geometric has readied CAMWorks 2015 for the latest Siemens Solid Edge release, ST8, making it the only fully integrated CAM application running inside Solid Edge at present.
