Edgecam 12.5 from Planit , the
latest version of the CAM system for NC part programming, manufacturing
and production engineering, has been certified by Autodesk for its Inventor
2009 CAD software.
"We are delighted to have achieved certification for Autodesk Inventor
2009," commented Edgecam international sales director Simon Lee.
"As Autodesk's preferred CAM partner it allows us to offer customers
a seamlessly integrated system, as well as enhance Edgecam's position
as the leading software for milling, turning and mill/turn programming."
Full associativity between the two programs ensures that when design
modifications or deletions are made, Edgecam automatically regenerates
the NC code to reflect the changes. In this way, true data integrity
is assured, eliminating any loss of data and preventing downtime - even
in the case of last minute changes.
Edgecam 12.5 offers a wealth of new features and functionality including
a greater capacity to store intelligence in the CAD model, which in
turn, is said to significantly improve automation of the CAM process.
The new release, in conjunction with Autodesk Inventor 2009 offers ease-of-use
and sophisticated toolpath generation. Individual parts and assemblies
can be loaded directly into Edgecam from Autodesk Inventor and all changes
are integrated and updated automatically, resulting in significant time
savings in programming time.
"Edgecam 12.5 is highly intelligent and provides improved data
management, leading to efficient manufacturing processes," Mr Lee
continued. "Compatibility with the latest technology has, and will
always be, fundamental to the development philosophy of Edgecam. Our
certification with Autodesk Inventor 2009 confirms this.
