Fabrication and Machining

New NC Documentation Generation

Support the shop floor operator by delivering an NC Documentation that is flexible and easy to customize. Generate NC documentation, define pictures, and customize the output using XML and/or HTML format.

Compare Toolpaths

Easily compare toolpaths using the multi-view mode to evaluate modifications between releases and when changing key parameters. Compare two machining activities, the same activity after a force computation during a release migration, and the same activity with different strategy parameters.

Cutting Tool Selection

Simplify the selection of cutting tools using a search with history or by filling measured geometries. Fill the parameter value using measure. Select the search location from all available locations using the Where filter for libraries or collaborative spaces. View the relevant resources from all opened tabs using the “All tabs” option available in the Session Panel.

Sequential Axial Operation Improvement

Increase the flexibility and efficiency of sequential axial operations by simplifying the selection of bottom and top, and adding circular motion. The axial plane of a sequential axial activity references the stock top plane, stock bottom plane, hole top plane, hole bottom plane, and other axial planes. Define a sequential axial activity in a more generic way.  Define a chain of planes with the ability to use another axial plane as a reference.

AI-Powered Alternate Toolpath Strategy and Parameters

Minimize the machining time in roughing operations leveraging AI to automatically generate alternate toolpath strategies and parameters. AI suggests a preferred tool path strategy and parameters for the selected geometries in Roughing and Prismatic Roughing Operations.

Surface Creation as Additional Geometry

Increase programming flexibility with the ability to create Extended or Trimmed surfaces by extending existing surfaces, avoiding going back and forth with the CAD model. Select Faces to define the surface area. Set an overhang to widen the surface. Optionally, select Edges to extrapolate the resulting surface beyond the initial face boundaries. Preview the generated surface before validation and use a dedicated editing panel to refine selections and parameters.
