NCG CAM is multi-threaded, so it allows the users to calculate 2 or more toolpaths simultaneously. Unlike
most other CAM software packages where only 1 toolpath can be calculated at a time and the software is
locked until each successive calculation has finished.
With NCG CAM the user can keep working, even making use of operations that have not finished
calculating, with the new task being placed in a queue until a processor is available. |
|
NCG CAM allows the user to record operations to a macro, that macro can then be used to automate the
machining of similar parts in the future. |
|
NCG CAM offers a number of different translators allowing different model formats to be opened.
Standard within the software are, IGES, VDA-fs, STL, RAW and CLD.
Translators for PARASOLID, SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER, STEP, CATIA versions 4 & 5 are additional options.
IGES, SolidWorks and Pro/ENGINEER have model associativity. |
|
The NCG CAM model associativity can detect if the IGES, SolidWorks or Pro/ENGINEER part has been
changed. The user is informed and has the option to automatically recalculate the toolpaths to the new
model. |
|
Support for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. |
|
Internal macro post processors are included for Heidenhain and ISO formats, these are user configurable
from within NCG CAM. There is also a standard APT output for the G-Post processor and G-Post postprocessors
are available.
Post-processors for most 3-axis and 5-axis CNC machine tools are available. These too can be configured
from a user-interface. |
|
Just 1 day of training is all that is required to get a user able to machine a real part (3-axis).
An additional day is recommended to cover the finer details and less frequently used operations. |
