Edgecam is a market leading computer aided manufacturing (CAM) system. Capable of programming milling, turning and mill-turn machines, Edgecam combines unrivaled ease of use and sophisticated toolpath generation. Edgecam is a principal brand of the Planit group - recently ranked by CIMdata as the world's fastest growing CAM vendor, with most industrial users. Edgecam is a complete CAM software solution for production machining and mold & die applications.
Edgecam Part Modeler is a 3D modelling tool specifically designed for quick and simple construction and/or modification of solid models. Cost effective and easy to use, Part Modeler comes complete with fully associative drafting capability. It’s the perfect complement to Edgecam Solid Machinist – providing advanced modelling tools to create parts or workholding systems such as chuck jaws or fixtures. The major features of a machine tool can also be modelled, for accurate cutting simulation and collision detection within Edgecam.
Edgecam Part Modeler will import and manipulate files from most CAD systems, including SolidWorks®, Solid Edge®, Unigraphics NX® and STEP files. Support for IGES, DXF and Parasolid is also included. In addition, Part Modeler offers functionality to ‘clean and heal’ and ‘sew surfaces’ to quickly restore imported files that need repairing.
Part Modeler’s intuitive user interface can be quickly and easily tailored to individual requirements, with features such as dockable windows and customisable menus and toolbars ensuring a highly productive, smooth and seamless progression from design concept through to finished component model and detail drawing.
With the ability to execute a series of logically grouped construction operations as a single keystroke, Edgecam Part Modeler enables rules to be applied simultaneously across multiple parts of an assembly with automatic part-to-part compatibility. Full associativity is maintained across 2D and 3D drafting; isometric, plan and orthogonal views; standard and ordinate dimensioning; and geometric tolerancing. Tighter integration between engineering and manufacturing paves the way to increased productivity.
