CAMWorks

CAMWorks ShopFloor is the latest Industry 4.0/Smart Manufacturing tool specially designed for the CNC machinist on the shop floor and promotes digital manufacturing by providing 3D models with MBD & PMI data and CNC programming information to the shop floor in a single, compact digital format.

CAMWorks ShopFloor provides state-of-the-art digital tools for machinists to leverage digital machining data in part models, reducing errors and improving communication between CNC programmers and shop floor machinists.

This allows companies to move beyond traditional methods and meet Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 initiatives, as well as improve quality, increase productivity and reduce the number of needed CAD/CAM software licenses. With CAMWorks ShopFloor, 3D digital models capture extensive data from the part design files and provide tools that machinists can utilize to produce parts with fewer miscommunications between the design and manufacturing departments.

Empower your shop floor with the Smart Manufacturing tools they need to avoid errors and increase production at a fraction of the cost of a CAD/CAM system. A full suite of tools are provided to view and precisely measure 3D parts and assemblies. Digital setup sheets and tool lists can be sent along with the 3D part models and CNC programs, and the machinist can virtually simulate the CNC program using cutting-edge 3D simulation. The ability step-through every move in a CNC program is provided to reduce setup time and eliminate the need to dry-run programs on the machine.

CAMWorks Mill-Turn multifunction machining includes milling and turning capabilities for multi-tasking machine centers.

• The same Mill and Turn features identified by Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) and defined using Interactive Feature Recognition (IFR) are supported in Mill-Turn. IFR can be used to define 3 Axis features for Y-axis milling and wrapped features for cylindrical features machined by C-axis motion.
• The operations that are generated for features are the same as the operations in CAMWorks 2.5 Axis Milling, 3 Axis Milling and Turning. These include automatic roughing, finishing, thread milling and single point (drilling, boring, reaming, tapping) cycles and all 3 Axis cycles.

Automatically create support structures using the latest in additive technology from Materialise, a world leader in additive manufacturing… and CAMWorks creates the machining operations to remove support structures and programs the machinable features automatically!

Milling Professional includes advanced 3 axis rough milling with rest machining and VoluMill for high speed machining.

CAMWorks Premium combines advanced 3 axis milling, turning, and mill-turn capabilities along with superior 4 & 5 axis simultaneous milling into a single integrated easy to use system.

CAMWorks Standard combines feature and knowledge based machining, with assembly machining, 4 & 5 axis indexing, advanced rotary milling, VoluMill for high speed machining, and full sub-spindle support for turning into a single easy to use integrated system.

Turning Professional includes advanced turning and mill-turn and C, Y & B axis capabilities, dual turret and sub-spindle support, and 2 & 4 axis turning with up to 11 axis mill-turn capabilities.

CAMWorks 2 and 4 Axis Turning software for programming CNC lathe machines includes automatic roughing, finishing, grooving, threading, cutoff and single point (drilling, boring, reaming and tapping) cycles. CAMWorks, incorporates Machining Intelligence for Automation, a suite of tools that automate Feature Recognition and the generation of toolpaths based on a user-defined technology database.

CAMWorks Wire EDM software has been designed and developed specifically for programming 2 through 4-axis Wire EDM CNC Machines - unlike most CAM systems that use modified milling commands for their EDM programming modules.
