Geometric to Unveil CAMWorks 2009 at IMTS
 SCOTTSDALE,
AZ, Sep 4, 2008 - Geometric Technologies, Inc. (formerly TekSoft, Inc.), a
subsidiary of Geometric Limited and an industry leader in developing
advanced manufacturing software, will showcase CAMWorks 2009 at the
International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS 2008) at booth number
D3110 in Chicago, IL from September 8 to 13, 2008.
The CAMWorks 2009 release will have over 80 user-driven features and
enhancements to enable users to program parts faster and more easily. In
addition, it will provide a significant number of new machining options that
will further strengthen CAMWorks’ manufacturing capabilities.
CAMWorks is a SolidWorks certified Gold CAM product that provides
state-of-the-art machining capabilities seamlessly integrated in SolidWorks.
CAMWorks can run within SolidWorks or as part of a cost-effective CAD/CAM
package that includes CAMWorks Solids, an integrated solid modeler.
"At IMTS, attendees will see demonstrations of the latest innovations in
CAMWorks 2009 that facilitate machining processes and boost shop
productivity," said Bruce Wiener, Geometric Technologies’ Director of
Research & Development. "In today’s manufacturing landscape, most successful
shops are constantly evaluating their methodology to stay competitive and we
constantly strive to improve CAMWorks functionality for the mold making and
machining industries."
Some of the key enhancements for performance efficiencies in CAMWorks
2009 include:
- Multiple Process Support: Users will immediately notice
performance improvements due to CAMWorks’ ability to generate 3-5 axis
tool-paths as separate threads and in separate processes that allow them
to continue working in other areas, or on other CAM models.
- CAM Data Reusability: While the CAMWorks Technology Database
has always provided the ability to capture and reuse a facility’s
manufacturing best practices, data reusability has been extended further
to enable the import of CAM data from CAD part models into assembly
models. This allows parts to be programmed and applied to different
jobs, and with other parts. In addition, library features can be created
for selective CAM data that is to be reused in other jobs.
- Visualization: CAMWorks 2009 has improved graphic display
performance, expansion in part and machine simulation, and a new
XML-based user-defined setup sheet which allows machining information to
be viewed in a web browser.
- Additional Enhancements: Turning features and tool-paths have
been made more intelligent, thus resulting in safer and more simplified
programming of turn and mill/ turn parts. Wire EDM users will benefit
from the new and easy creation of multiple glue stops and a much more
powerful post processing environment. Simultaneous 4/5 axis improvements
include enhanced toolpath control, expanded collision avoidance and
creation of multiple tool-paths using rotate and copy options. Automatic
Feature Recognition has been improved and continuous enhancements to the
intuitive user-interface make CAMWorks even easier to use.
CAMWorks modules for 2-5 axis milling, turning and wire EDM are available
in a variety of bundles or combinations that provide an advanced collection
of cutting strategies and time-saving features.
At IMTS, the attendees will also learn about Geometric’s range of
cutting-edge productivity solutions aimed at enhancing design and improving
manufacturing operations, like DFMPro, eDrawings Publishers and GeomCaliper.
