Production milling
Edgecam offers a wide range of powerful roughing and finishing cycles that can handle the most complex components. High performance 3-Axis cycles are complemented by a range of 4 and 5-Axis simultaneous strategies to increase flexibility and efficiency of the machining process.

Production turning
Whether you are working with a traditional 2-Axis lathe or the latest multi-turret or mill/turn machining centre Edgecam meets all your production turning needs. On mill/turn machines, C, Y and B-Axis milling and drilling are fully integrated with the turning session. Full machine simulation helps to ensure safe operation, displaying all machining operations and par t transfer from spindle to spindle.

Mold and dieEdgecam is the ideal solution for mold and die applications, combining simple 2-Axis machining functionality for plates, and advanced 3-Axis machining cycles for more complex geometr y.

High speed milling
Edgecam offers a full range of machining strategies designed to minimise cycle time and maximise tool life, whilst ensuring high quality surface finish. Intelligent roughing strategies offer quick and efficient machining through advanced features such as trochoidal milling and adaptive feed rates. Flexible finishing cycles deliver optimum surface finish, regardless of the component geometr y. Automatic rest machining provides fur ther efficiency improvements by targeting only the material inaccessible to the previous tool.

Mill/turn machining
Edgecam is the ideal CAM system to capitalise on the productivity improvements delivered by Mill/Turn machine tool investments, which enable milling and turning operations to be combined in a single setup. The system’s graphical timeline allows users to synchronise operations on different turrets and spindles, optimising manufacturing processes and minimising cycle times.

4 and 5-Axis machining
A comprehensive range of simultaneous 4 and 5-Axis strategies provides machining solutions for the requirements of specialist industries such as aerospace, automotive and oil & gas. Multi-Axis machining offers key advantages by reducing the number of operations required for the production of complex components.

Full machine simulation
Edgecam Simulator makes accurate models of the machine, complete with turrets, spindles and other moving elements available for full machine simulation. Toolpath verification displays material removal and provides a realistic visualisation of the machined component, along with an accurate rendering of its surface finish. Edgecam does much more than generate NC code. Innovative productivity tools help to streamline programming for maximum efficiency and quality.

Edgecam Strategy Managerenables in-house knowledge from previously-machined parts to be utilised to streamline programming and achieve new levels of consistency and automation for improved productivity and a rapid return on investment.

Edgecam Part Modeleroffers easy parametric solid modelling. It is ideal for fixture, jig and tooling design, as well as simple component construction.

Edgecam Code Wizardis a unique Code Generator tool which uses a template-based approach to create high quality NC code tailored to your individual preferences and a wide variety of tools - from 2-Axis lathes and 3-Axis mills, to the latest 5-Axis mill/turn machining centres.

Edgecam ToolStoreis an easy-to-use database for all tooling, technology and material data. It includes full tooling geometric data and graphics, along with an extensive materials library to provide automatic feed rate, spindle speed and depth-of-cut calculations. Based on SQL technology, the database automatically provides CNC documentation, including graphical output of the component set-up.

Edgecam Job Manageris an easy-to-use shop floor data management tool, allowing users to store and share information relevant to each project. Setup sheets, tooling lists and other important job related information is presented in HTML format to enable posting on internet or intranet pages.

With the right tools, the right price, and rapid return on investment - Edgecam is the only CAM system you’ll ever need for solids based manufacturing.
