PASCAM
Bea is based on the concept of
manufacturing features. Every manufacturing feature or
machining strategy can be
parameterized interactively by
manufacturing parameters or by equations. All geometry data are
acquired
directly from the SolidWorks® model. Thus all modifications in
the model geometry are
transferred and updated immediately at the CNC program on a push of a button.
The
interactive input is carried out in fully integrated machining strategy dialogs directly in
SolidWorks®. It can be controlled,
whether manufacturing parameters
are determined automatically from the system, if they are controlled via PASCAM
WoodWorks material equations or entered manually. Of course an
descriptive online help is available for every
dialog, which guarantees a quick support, particularly to CAM beginners.
Furthermore additionally individual parameters can be
set for all available postprocessors, such as hood control or the computing of
measurements (MPR interface).
The tool selection can be carried out either automatically or manually, directly on the
tool and technology databases of the used postprocessor.
Manufacturing features can be suppressed for the
generation. This can be done manually or via user-defined geometry conditions.
The manufacturing order and
toolpaths are represented graphically at the PASCAM
Bea
manufacturing tree and can be modified simply by Drag & Drop or
suppressed at any time. PASCAM
Bea offers the most
exhaustive set of CNC machining strategies available today. From CNC
machining centers with edgebanding capabilities to nested based routers or
through-feed machines, PASCAM
Bea offers woodworking
companies full control over all their manufacturing data. |
