CAD/CAM Software Technology



Vero Software will feature a variety of CAD/CAM technology, including: Edgecam, CAM software for efficient NC part programming directly from native solid CAD data; SURFCAM, 3D CAM designed to achieve a balance between feature sets and ease of use; and Radan, sheet metal CAD/CAM software. Attendees will also have the opportunity to speak with industry experts.

Edgecam

Edgecam will be demonstrating its next generation release - Workflow. Workflow is specifically designed for manufacturers to reduce costs, improve quality and meet shorter lead times. "The new release guides the user through the programming process in four easy and quick steps: part setup, feature creation, toolpath creation and post processing," said a company spokesperson. "Once each step is complete, the user moves seamlessly to the next stage, completing each process in turn, resulting in a fully programmed, fully collision-checked part with accurate CNC code generated.

"Workflow will have a significant impact on shortening programming time, and because it is so simple to operate, the learning curve for new users is considerably reduced. The traditional CAM commands remain available at all times, and the user can alternate between the two."

SURFCAM

SURFCAM will highlight the upcoming release of SURFCAM 2014 R1, the first major release version as part of the Vero brand of CAM solutions. This new version will include adaptive roughing technology as well as multiple enhancements designed to deliver additional ease of use and control in masking, chaining, operations manager and layering functionality. SURFCAM 2014 R1 will also provide users and customers complete control over their licensing via the web with the new SURFCAM Customer Portal. Updated and additional CAD translators, post-processors and editNC are also included in the release at no additional costs to customers. Surfcam, Inc. will also be introducing its new 3D modeling technology, Part Modeler, a tool specifically designed for quick and simple construction and modification of solid models with fully associative drafting capabilities.

Radan

Radan will be showcasing its combination of applications for profiling, punching and nesting, along with its design and production management capabilities. Radan also offers Radbend, which features offline programming for press brakes. "Customers using Radbend achieve a high return on investment by improving machine efficiency and overcoming bottlenecks at press brakes," said the spokesperson. "The combination of all enhancements in Radan 2013 provides greater automation while still providing the operator with manual options, if required. Radan 2013 contains key enhancements to the navigational tools for increased accessibility to functions, along with improved integration of Radbend and the addition of color, making it easier to identify parts pre- and post-production.
