Designer - CAD Software for CAM Software
Using Direct Modelling techniques the user is freed from the constraints of a traditional modelling system. Rather than modifying a lengthy series of parameters to make a design change. Direct modelling gives the user complete freedom of construction whether creating a new component or modifying an existing design created in any of the myriad of CAD formats that Designer supports. Edgecam Designer is the perfect Solution for Model Healing, Feature Suppression and Model Simplification, not to mention new component design. Edgecam Designer supports the import of DXF and DWG files allowing the user to transform existing 2D data into a 3D model by simply reusing the imported profiles from the original data.

Solid Machinist - Standalone CAD Software interface and Knowledge based machining
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 to name a few, is imported without translation. Edgecam Solid Machinist uses automatic feature recognition to interrogate the solid model and quickly identifies machineable features to be machined. Edgecam then offers the user the most appropriate tooling and machining strategy to generate accurate toolpaths.
Building on this Solid foundation Edgecam Strategy Manager provides fast and reliable machining of solid models, resulting in increased productivity. The application streamlines programming by capturing the knowledge from previously machined parts and applying it to new components – eliminating programming errors and delivering an unprecedented level of consistency and automation.
