PARTMAKER PROVIDES A MORE EFFICIENT
SYSTEM FOR CNC PROGRAMMING

 
       
GENERAL CAM METHODOLOGY

          
PartMaker’s Approach:
Knowledge Based Machining (KBM)
 Competitor's Approach:
Sequential Process Planning
 PartMaker's Benefit:
70% Reduction in Programming Time
         

PROGRAMMING IN ARBITRARY PLANES


          
PartMaker’s Approach:
Multi-face programming capability allows users to program multiple views in separate screen windowsand cutting tools for future use.
 Competitor's Approach:
Full 3D programming capability with local coordinate systems
 PartMaker's Benefit:
A drastic cost reduction and simplicity of use.
         

HOLE MAKING


          
PartMaker’s Approach:
A cycles database stores sequences of hole making operations and cutting tools for future use.
 Competitor's Approach:
Repetitive description of hole making operations and cutting tools.
 PartMaker's Benefit:
Consistent product quality and total elimination of tedious data reentry.
         

TRANSLATION INTO NC
MACHINE LANGUAGE (POST PROCESSING)


          
PartMaker’s Approach:
User configurable output for any NC machine by means of a ConfigPost utility.
 Competitor's Approach:
Dedicated software modules (Post Processors) translate a neutral file into a part program for every NC machine.
 PartMaker's Benefit:
Elimination of part programming editing resulting in additional productivity increase.
         

MULTI-AXIS LATHE PROGRAMMING

          
PartMaker’s Approach:
Patented Divide and Conquer Programming Strategy with predefined coordinate systems and machining functions.
 Competitor's Approach:
User Defined coordinate systems with arbitrary machining functionality.
 PartMaker's Benefit:
More productive and more intuitive method for programming multi-axis lathes with live tooling.
         

SWISS-TYPE LATHE PROGRAMMING


          
PartMaker’s Approach:
PartMaker SwissCAM has been designed specifically around the needs of CNC Swiss-type lathes to support Swiss specific programming issues such as a sliding headstock, tool shifts and process synchronization.
 Competitor's Approach:
Attempt to address Swiss programming with generic turning software for fixed headstock lathes.
 PartMaker's Benefit:
Easy to use programming system which greatly reduces programming and set-up time while increasing productivity versus manual programming or other generic CAM systems.
