The ability to modify the model without being held to the constraints of a previous construction method or feature tree is incredibly powerful.Ĭreating model variations for each stage of the machining process becomes simple and your machining results become both fast and of higher quality.ĮDGECAM DESIGNERs sketch capabilities allows for the creation of two dimensional shapes using free-form input. Removing portions of the model, such as intersecting features, makes the machining process faster and provides better results. With EDGECAM DESIGNER, removing these markings and even saving them for later operations is just a mouse click away.Īlong with suppressing certain features of the model not used for machining, the user may wish to simplify the geometry during various stages of the machining process. While this was important for the CAD design and will ultimately reside in the final component, such markings often impede the job of the CAM programmer. Post-machining processes such as laser engraving, electrode marking and other techniques are often represented on the model. Many times the incoming CAD data includes geometric features that are either unnecessary for CAM, or will not be created by the machining process itself. The ability to seamlessly switch between solid and surface technology provides unlimited freedom, ensuring the user can work with difficult CAD data. Closing a surface model to produce a solid body eliminates construction problems later in the design process and immediately brings the benefits of solid modelling to the user. Automation makes the time consuming process of model cleanup much faster and simpler. Where surfaces are corrupt or missing EDGECAM DESIGNER will automatically create the edge curve geometry making it easy to rebuild new faces using the comprehensive surfacing suite.
Small gaps between surfaces on imported models can be automatically healed preventing the time consuming process of rebuilding very small surface patches. Lightning fast rendering, transparency control and dynamic sectioning make it easy to visualise CAD files and large assemblies. Multi-layer and multi-origin control with user definable colour pallets and line styles makes it easy to review, create and work with very complex designs. Unlimited undo and redo operations with user definable bookmarks enable the designer to move backwards and forwards throughout the design process. Dynamic rotation, zoom and pan, together with programmable function keys and mouse buttons help speed up the operation of the software. Simple menu and icon commands with context sensitive online help make it quick and easy to start using EDGECAM DESIGNER.
