Solid Machinist and strategy Manager
Standalone CAD Software interface and knowledge-based machining are essential for advanced machining processes. Within Edgecam, the integrity of your design is maintained because any native solid model from mainstream CAD software vendors, including Autodesk Inventor, Solidworks, Solid Edge, Creo, Unigraphics NX, and CATIA, is imported without translation. Edgecam Solid Machinist utilizes automatic feature recognition to analyze the solid model, quickly identifying machinable features for CNC programming. Edgecam then offers users the most appropriate tooling and machining strategy to generate accurate toolpaths.
Building on this solid foundation, Edgecam Strategy Manager enhances productivity through fast and reliable machining of solid models. This application streamlines programming by capturing knowledge from previously machined parts and applying it to new components, effectively eliminating programming errors and delivering an unprecedented level of consistency and automation through its various Edgecam modules.
Probing
Advanced machining processes, particularly complex CNC machining operations, can now be easily validated with in-process probing. Manufacturers producing high-value parts can quickly and efficiently develop probe paths and integrate measurement cycles with CNC programming. EDGECAM modules offer a comprehensive set of geometric features and constructions for measuring part characteristics such as webs, pockets, thickness, and heights. The intuitive user interface and workflow allow users to seamlessly transition from programming CAM cycles to measurement cycles.

Utilize the entire envelope of your machine tool, whether it’s a 3-axis, horizontal, or 5-axis machining center. With the power of EDGECAM modules, you can add any number of components or various operations to your setup, whether it's on the bed of a 3-axis machine, a tombstone fixture for a horizontal machining center, or a pyramid-type fixture for a 5-axis machine tool. Maintain full toolpath associativity to the individually programmed single parts while optimizing tool usage and the CNC programming process.
Edgecam 4 and 5 axis Machining
Software for advanced machining with full 4 and 5 axis Continuous Machining
Edgecam offers a wide range of 4 and 5 axis strategies applicable to solid and surface geometry, making it a leader in CNC programming.
Edgecam’s 4 axis strategies are ideal for the rotary machining of automotive and aerospace components such as camshafts, crankshafts, and blades, as well as for the production of rotary dies and components in the oil & gas industry.
With Edgecam 5 Axis Simultaneous, you can improve surface finish and extend tool life by orienting the tool to maintain optimum contact with the part at all times. This approach provides improved access to undercuts and deep pockets by tilting the tool or component, enabling the use of shorter series tooling and eliminating the need for secondary setups. The 5 axis tool paths can result in significant movements of the machine tool, even from very small cuts on the component. Such movements can potentially cause severe damage to both the part and the machine. Edgecam effectively provides methods for collision avoidance, checking the cutter and holder for potential collisions and applying necessary tilts to steer clear of collision areas.
The Edgecam Advanced 5 Axis module offers total control of 4 and 5 axis tool paths using solids, surfaces, or wireframe geometries. This advanced machining module includes additional functionality beyond the standard 5 axis capabilities and is particularly suited for complex components such as blings, blisks, and port machining, where precise control of tool paths and entry and exit paths is crucial.
