Express version 6] contains a substantial number of important and
distinctive new capabilities that will further Siemens' leadership
position in the CAM software market and in CAM software
technology," said Alan Christman, chairman, CIMdata. "It will
likely set new industry standards in several key segments of CAM."
Substantial advances in 3-axis machining, feature-based automation
and user experience CAM Express 6 includes more capabilities across
the critical 3-axis machining application space, including specific
high-speed machining approaches, to enable: -- Simplified tricky
tracing cuts with new cutting strategies for curve/edge and 3D
profile cutting. -- Ten percent faster roughing cuts with the
latest optimized corner rounding techniques. -- Smoother finish
cuts with specialized point distribution in 3-axis surface milling.
-- More effective toolpaths thanks to new editing and dividing
techniques that apply shorter, stouter tools for deep cavities. In
feature-based automation, CAM Express 6 brings Tecnomatix(R)
software technology to feature recognition and rule development to
enable feature-based machining driven by configurable rules.
Incremental process steps are defined and organized in a new
Machining Knowledge Editor, without writing code or editing
scripts. CAM Express also maintains production run quality with
special support for measurement functions. CAM Express 6 provides
direct programming of Renishaw(R) probing cycles, including the
support of special solid tool representations and machine
simulation of probing cycles. CAM Express 6 includes four more
tutorials that help new users get going quickly. In addition, this
release provides an improved user experience through maximum
graphics display and configurable shortcuts that help novices
become power users. "I really appreciate the improvements to [the]
CAM Express interface," said Keith Irvine, CAD-CAM manager, Alto
Packaging Limited. "I like the graphics images that give me a
preview of what I would expect. These features make a really big
difference in the smoothness of programming. In addition, the
streamline operation provides some very distinct advantages for
surface finish and high-speed machining in mold making." For more
