Report: Achieve efficiency and traceability with integrated CAD/CAM

In today's demanding manufacturing environment, making good parts isn't enough. Research from Lifecycle Insights found that time-to-delivery was the most important driver of change in the modern machine shop.

In this report, we share how integrated CAD/CAM combined with feature-based machining and machine tool simulation, empowers manufacturers to achieve dramatic improvements. These processes will enhance your ability to deliver parts faster and ensure quality all along the way.

Reduce programming time and costs with machine tool simulation

Are you spending hours meticulously programming complex parts, only to encounter errors during machining? Integrated CAD/CAM with feature-based machining and machine tool simulation can slash your programming time and eliminate costly mistakes.

Feature-recognition software automates toolpath generation for standard features like pockets and holes, while machine tool simulation lets you virtually run your program to identify collisions and optimize cutting strategies. This can dramatically reduce programming time, minimize rework, and improve machining efficiency.
