Latest version of Geometric’s CAMWorks for Solid Edge helps customers accelerate time to market

MUMBAI, INDIA: Geometric Ltd announced the availability of version 2014 of CAMWorks for Solid Edge software, the 3D CAD tool from Siemens PLM Software for the mainstream manufacturing market. The new version provides tighter integration to enable customers to reduce programming time to further accelerate time-to-market.

Tim Hoeing, Plant Manager at H&M Tool & Die, says: "The feature-based approach seems much more intuitive than the process of creating profiles and chains method. The automatic feature recognition and tool path associativity helps reduce programming time by as much as ten times. And the knowledge-based machining will save machining strategies for future use, enabling faster turn-around times on new jobs."

With this release, Solid Edge users will gain access to the full suite of CAMWorks modules including Sync Manager and Sub Spindle operations manager to speed up CNC programming for complex multi-spindle, multi-turret mill turn machines.

In addition, with the 5-axis simultaneous machining module, users in the aerospace, medical device, and oil & gas industry have the ability to machine complex surfaces using advanced 4 and 5 axis machining centers. Furthermore, tool and die customers now have the ability to program the Wire EDM machines within the same environment as their milling operations instead of having to maintain different software for different purposes.
