  • Optimizes the use of tooling resources.

• MULTI-AXIS MACHINING SUPPORT:

• • Allows for creation of complex parts with intricate geometries. Multi-axis machines can move in more than one direction at a time. They allow creating more intricate and detailed designs.
  • Generates automatically the toolpaths required for multi-axis machining. This makes it easier to produce without manual intervention complex components.

• CUSTOMIZABLE WORKFLOWS:
  • Allows for tailoring the software to fit specific needs. That is, suit particular production requirements.
  • Allows for adapting the software to their unique manufacturing processes, aligned with their specific workflows and objectives.

• INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY:
• • Streamlines’ workflows. By integrating design and manufacturing in Solid Edge CAM.
  • Reduces the time spent manually programming machines. With automation of toolpath generation and G-code creation.
  • Translates time savings to increased productivity with shorter production cycles.
• IMPROVED ACCURACY AND PRECISION:
  • Simulates before actual production starts, CNC machining process. This ensures manufacture of parts to exact specifications, with high accuracy. In turn they help reduce the chances of defects.
  • Reduces the chances of errors caused by miscommunication between design and manufacturing teams.

• REDUCED COSTS
• • Simulates the manufacturing process and optimizes toolpaths. This reduces the risk of material waste and rework.
  • Minimizes the need for manual programming. Thanks to automation of toolpath generation and post-processing. They help save time and reduce labor costs.
  • Ensures expensive tooling resources are used optimally by managing them efficiently. They help further reduce costs.

• FASTER TIME TO MARKET:
  • Brings products to market faster. By shortening design-to-manufacturing cycles and reducing the chances of errors.
  • Responds to customer demands more swiftly. By quickly generating CNC programs and stimulating the manufacturing process.
• FLEXIBILITY:
  • Supports a wide array of machining processes. From basic 3-Axis Milling to Complex Multi-Axis Operations.
  • Provides the tools to support a diverse array of manufacturing operations.
• ENHANCED COLLABORATION & DATA MANAGEMENT:
  • Enhances scale of collaboration. Across design, engineering, and manufacturing teams.
  • Ensures centralized data management. They allow all teams work from a single, up-to-date source of information. This improves decision-making and reduces risk of errors.
  • Ensures teams work in sync through access to the latest design and manufacturing data, throughout the product lifecycle.
• SCALABILITY:
  • Meets the demands of businesses of all sizes.
  • Adapts to fit specific needs. Businesses using its modular structure can start with a basic set of tools. Also, scale up as their needs evolve.
