June 4, 2012
CAXA, China’s largest provider of software for computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and product lifecycle management (PLM), will partner with ModuleWorks, a software component provider for the CAD/CAM industry, to incorporate simulation technology for 5-Axis machining in its 2013 release.
In a press release entitled “CAXA Partners with ModuleWorks for 5-Axis Machining and Simulation” that recently appeared on the website MCAD Café, the features of this software update are described:
“The new CAXA 2013 release will offer ModuleWorks toolpath generation and simulation technology to provide customers with state-of-the-art 5-Axis machining and simulation. A wide range of 5-Axis strategies include multi-pass roughing, swarf, contouring, flowline, and 3-5-Axis toolpath conversion. Combined with full kinematic machine simulation and material removal, CAXA 2013 provides a complete set of tools for advanced machining applications.”
Endeavors such as the CAXA/ModuleWorks partnership resulting in customized, comprehensive, and scalable CAD/CAM and PLM solutions such as CAXA 2013 that enable manufacturers to enhance their efficiency and to easily find, reuse, and share their product data are valuable assets that can maximize the competitive position of an enterprise.
