Edgecam certified by Autodesk
Planit is pleased to announce that Edgecam 12.5, the latest version of its 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,” said Edgecam international sales director Simon Lee. “… 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 significantly improves automation of the CAM process.
This new release 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.
“Edgecam 12.5 is highly intelligent and provides improved data management, leading to efficient manufacturing processes,” continued Mr Lee. “Compatibility with the latest technology has been, and will always be, fundamental to the development philosophy of Edgecam. Our certification with Autodesk Inventor 2009 confirms this.”
