Additionally, improvements to the software’s architecture give an average time saving of 70 percent on checking toolpaths with Machine Simulator when the software is initially launched.”Īn overhaul of probing functionality revolves around eight new cycles, which deliver support for programming a variety of on-machine probing cycles. “Numerous benchmark tests show a 30 percent improvement in calculation times compared to the previous version,” says Machining Market and Product Manager Miguel Johann. “When using the profiling cycle’s Undercut function, savings of between 40 and 60 percent have been recorded, depending on the part’s size and complexity. Two machining cycles-Roughing and Profiling-benefit from improvements to the software’s multithreading technology algorithms.ĮDGECAM’s whigh-speed Waveform Roughing strategy is now faster when generating toolpath for solid and wireframe components.
New and enhanced functionality in the latest release of EDGECAM CAD/CAM software from Hexagon Production Software boosts customer productivity with lower computer-processing time and faster toolpaths, the company says.Ī number of these productivity boosts have been achieved by reducing calculation time with EDGECAM 2021’s enhanced parallel-processing capability.
