Software Features 3D Modeling Capability



Edgecam 2014 R2 offers enhancements to Edgecam Workflow, including automatic conversion of 2D design data to a 3D model, enhancements to the user interface and improved automatic machining processes, among others.

Vero reported the following features of Edgecam 2014 R2:

2D to 3D for Part Modeler: This helps ensure old 2D legacy design data can be used in Edgecam Workflow without the need for total part re-modeling. A 2D drawing can now be converted automatically into a 3D model by selecting the views and tracing the part outline.

  • Edgecam Workflow Solids (EWS): EWS offers a fast approach to creating simple CAM-ready 3D solid models, delivering standard modeling functions such as extrude, revolve and blend, supported by parametric sketching. A feature wizard allows for the rapid creation of specific hole types. An interactive storyboard means users can remodel and edit the original design by selecting the process to be edited and re-applying the changes.
  • Edgecam Workflow: This has been enhanced in all areas, with the inclusion of EWS, customizable ribbon bars laid out in a logical process order, and improved machining strategies to enable toolpaths to be generated quickly and efficiently while considering the component stock, fixtures and material.
  • Dynamic co-ordinate system creation: The new software includes an interactive way of creating construction planes (CPLs) by dragging the CPL marker from the bottom left of the screen onto a face, vertices or edge, and the CPL marker automatically snaps and orientates as required. Dragging the marker over the model offers options of alignment and location, making it easy to find the preferred origin.
  • Job reports on portable devices: Users can view job reports on standard portable devices via Internet browsers. Reports can be searched, viewed and printed anywhere, at any time.
  • Adveon integration: "Edgecam 2014 R2 will be the first CAD/CAM platform to integrate Sandvik's Adveon Tool Library," said a company spokesperson. "Adveon is a single tool library, managing tools from a number of manufacturers, and guarantees accurate geometrical information. While the engineer's input is reduced, users can rapidly build tooling databases and have access to 3D CAD models for accurate simulation and visualization."
  • Direct import of tooling information from Mazak machines: An interface loads the .DAD file from Mazatrol controls and stores the .DAD tooling data in Edgecam's Toolstore. Ensuring that the tool selection in Edgecam reflects the tools available on the specific machine means only tools on the machine can be selected.
