4 Hexagon Production Software Products at Oct. 22-24 at SOUTHTEC in South Carolina

EDGECAM, RADAN, SURFCAM and WORKNC will be exhibited at booth No. 2329, where the efficiency-boosting capabilities of each solution will be demonstrated The Hexagon Production Software business will present four manufacturing solutions designed to increase efficiency while ensuring quality Oct. 22-24, when SOUTHTEC® will be hosted in Greenville, South Carolina.

As the largest manufacturing technology event in the southeastern U.S., SOUTHTEC attracts manufacturing suppliers, distributors and equipment builders from across North America and around the world. Hundreds of exhibiting companies take part in the event, where attendees can find all the latest technologies, services, and industry experts.

EDGECAM, RADAN, SURFCAM and WORKNC will be exhibited at booth No. 2329, where demonstrations of the unique functionality available with each solution will take place.

EDGECAM 2020.0 introduces a specific 5-axis ‘Tilt’ control strategy, combined with a ‘Barrel Cutter,’ and represents a significant enhancement for users. Barrel cutters are recognized as one of the fastest tools for 5-axis machining, and are now fully supported in the EDGECAM Toolstore.

The new quick-nest mode in RADAN 2020.0 provides a more visual interface, as well as limited upfront setup for projects and a redesigned new-project dialog that allows users to nest more quickly. Time benefits can also be achieved with machine-specific projects and templates, which are also designed to help users nest more quickly.

A number of new and enhanced features available with the latest version of SURFCAM provide increased productivity for both milling and turning users. Mindful of the need to generate efficient toolpaths to reduce production costs, SURFCAM 2020.0 offers a significant performance boost when either roughing or profiling a solid model. Users are able to utilize the machining engine to compute only the data constrained within a boundary, ignoring the rest of the model; this significantly decreases the cache size while generating faster toolpaths.

WORKNC 2020.0 expands its exclusive Advanced Toolform technology with the introduction of 5-axis machining for any tool shape, including shapes such as barrels, ovals, and parabolic, to be calculated over part surfaces, including negative offsets (allowances).
