VISI 2016 R2 represents another release with major CAM developments covering both 2D and 3D milling routines. Other improvements include the ability to manage multiple strip designs within the same project, and the option for defining families of punches as instances allowing for automatic updates of geometry if the parent punch is modified. The nesting parameters can be dynamically changed to preview the result. A new ‘Part Definition’ process provides a step-by-step workflow which helps the user evaluate the moulding feasibility of a part, resulting in a HTML report that details the part thickness and volume, and filling, packing and cooling times – essential information during the quoting stage.įor those involved in sheet metal stamping, VISI Progress updates include a powerful new nesting facility which permits the ability to set minimum part quantity, gaps, relative orientation and also part placement on the sheet.
Additional enhancements include a new tool to produce lubrication grooves and a re-written database tool to manage and edit the 3D standard element libraries. VISI Mould developments include improved cooling channel management with support for solid groups, CAD transformations and updated catalogue components such as plugs, connectors and baffles. User efficiency continues to be a focus and major CAD developments include significant picking and sketching enhancements, associativity improvements for 3D dimensions, the ability to combine both solid and surface geometry in the same Boolean operations, and multiple plotview updates. In addition, CAD translators have been updated to support the latest 3rd party CAD formats including Inventor 2016, layer categories for NX and attribute hole mapping for Catia V5. Major graphic enhancements include an updated GUI with quick access toolbars, live icon combinations on the mouse, improved hidden line removal and geometry selection by ‘free-shape’ brush. Machine configurations has been a focus of EDGECAM development for this release and 2016 R2 sees the introduction of support for non-linear turrets on a 4 axis lathe, support for turning with rotating heads (Trevisan machine tools), and turning on milling machine improvements with support for nutated head configurations.įinally, Wire EDM developments include the ability to translate associative machining operations for multiple copies and support for rotary wire movements for features on different planes.
#Edgecam 2016 manual
This manual interaction allows the user to pick out additional machining areas on particular complex geometry. Additional turning enhancements include the ability to manually edit a turning feature which has been detected by the feature recognition routines. This technology will provide the ability to better control the remaining stock for semi-finishing operations.

In addition, support for probing cycles has been enhanced with direct solid picking and full associativity to the parent geometry.įor Turning, the rough grooving cycle has been improved to add control to manage ‘nibbles’ on corner radii by adding or removing intermediate cuts.
#Edgecam 2016 code
A number of machining cycles have been enhanced, including the ability to support a number of sharp corner profiling methods such as loop, break-corner, chamfer and others with significantly reduced code output. User experience developments include super-fast file loading for large assemblies, auto indexing when moving between features on different planes, and colour filter selection when selecting geometry and features. EDGECAMĮDGECAM 2016 R2 delivers a number of new features and milling, turning and wire EDM users will benefit from over 30 important new and enhanced items of CAD and CAM functionality, with developers working on more for display at MACH. Visitors to the joint Hexagon/Vero booth #5710 will see the very latest new features designed to improve cycle times and product quality. MACH coincides with the planned issue of EDGECAM, VISI, and WORKNC, so the show at the NEC in Birmingham, will be the first opportunity for manufacturers to see a preview of the software’s latest releases. Vero will be partnering with its parent company Hexagon at MACH 2016, showcasing new and enhanced features in the latest releases of its CAD/CAM product portfolio.
