Designer is the ideal CAD solution for CAM. From electrode design to model repair to reverse engineering, EDGECAM Designer is the ultimate manufacturing CAD solution for taking complex models to manufacture.
Ease of use
Simple menu and icon commands with context sensitive online help make it quick and easy to start using EDGECAM Designer. Dynamic rotation, zoom and pan, together with programmable function keys and mouse buttons help speed up the operation of the software. Unlimited undo and redo operations with user definable bookmarks enable the designer to move backwards and forwards throughout the design process. Multi-layer and multi-origin control with user definable colour palettes and line styles makes it easy to review, create and work with very complex designs.
Lightning fast rendering, transparent.
Powerful Sketching
EDGECAM Designer’s sketch capabilities allows for the creation of two dimensional shapes using free form input. While the user can rely upon the traditional methods of co-ordinate based input, free form sketching intelligently interacts with surrounding geometry. This ability to intuitively create implied constraints with other geometry expedites the sketch creation process while maintaining the maximum flexibility for future changes.
Geometry for Machining
EDGECAM Designer provides a host of geometry creation techniques that are critical to the machinist for model preparation. Hole capping is a great example of the simple and easy to use features of EDGECAM Designer that help to ensure that surface machining provides the best possible results. This feature can be used to cap anything from a simple drilled hole to a complex open cavity with just a few clicks of the mouse. An extensive range of curve creation routines vastly improves boundary creation and simple but powerful surface creation techniques provide the machinist with more power than ever before.
Extensive Range of CAD Interfaces
EDGECAM Designer imports data from a wide variety of exchange formats including Parasolid, IGES, STEP, ACIS, DXF, DWG, STL and VDA files as well as native data from the following CAD systems:
• Catia V4 & V5
• Pro/ENGINEER & PTC Creo
• Autodesk Inventor
• Siemens NX
• SolidWorks
• Solid Edge
The extensive range of translators ensures that users can work with data from almost any supplier.
Very large files can be handled with ease and companies working with complex designs will benefit from the simplicity with which their customer’s CAD data can be manipulated.
