Enhanced Automation
Users will have greater control when automatically determining cutting data thanks to EDGCAM 2025.1 enhancing not only its ‘Technology Types’ but also adding turning data to its ‘Depth of Cut’ algorithm. The overall effect will be greater control when using the Technology Assistant.
EDGECAM 2025. 1 delivers a better user experience for customers working with multiple components by enhancing Fixture and Stock identification. Extended names are now easily identified through various display windows and the data is accessible to the code generator and macro scripts.
Cloud Connectivity
Nexus Apps: EDGECAM is now cloud-connected, allowing users to share projects and collaborate using the NEXUS platform. The 3D whiteboard feature enables users to share complete machine setups and collaborate on design reviews, either on the actual part or on the fixture on the tooling design.
Turning Enhancements
- B-Axis Contour Cycle Support: Mill-Turn users with 5-axis head-table rotary machines can now program and simulate B-axis turning toolpaths, unlocking more flexibility and efficiency.
- Advanced Turning Enhancements: Turning automation is boosted by smarter Depth of Cut logic, enhancing precision and control in complex parts.
Milling Enhancements
- Race Line Finishing Cycle: A new high-speed toolpath designed for machining complex profiles such as gearbox sealing faces and precision castings. Includes automatic fixture detection and stock sensitivity.
- Parallel Lace Cycle: New “Point Distribution” control allows for finer toolpath resolution, improving surface finish and NC code quality.
- Rough Milling – Prioritise Additional Cuts: Ensures gouge-free toolpaths for complex multi-region components by optimizing cutting order dynamically.
- Profiling Enhancements: Extended helical support improves surface finish and reduces cycle time on undercut components.
Guides, Toolstore & Simulation
