摘要

Major elements of EdgeCAM 9 include: EdgeCAM Strategy Manager; improved work flow with a new user interface; high performance roughing for increased productivity; extended roughing cycle strategies; and EdgeCAM Solid Machinist for CATIAV5. EdgeCAM Strategy Manager delivers functionality to capture best practice to ensure consistent, repeatable quality. It offers manufacturers the power to capture the manufacturing knowledge and expertise of experienced programmers for re-use by less experienced programmers and so ensure consistent, repeatable quality. The interactive process is designed -around a simple flow chart (overlay, picture right) and no knowledge of programming languages is required.
