Edgecam 2009 further expands the application’s established 4/5-axis simultaneous machining strategies by offering support for Pro/ENGINEER & Wildfire CAD models. Additional options to control how the part is positioned and machined along with a Cusp Height control option, are also included.

Read how Edgecam’s 4-and 5-Axis strategies can help you use your multi-axis machines to their full capabilities.

State-of-the-art visualization tools are provided by Edgecam Simulator, with the ability to accurately model the machine tool and simulate all movement within the manufacturing process. This is particularly useful with 5-Axis machining, where small changes in angular movement may generate significant movement of the machine tool, increasing the potential for expensive collisions.
