Name of the Technology
CNC software package for milling of 2-D contours.
The Technology
It is a software that can be employed for developing codes for CNC milling machines to cut complex 2-D profiles.
USP
In the other packages, data has to be provided sequentially. In this package - data can be mixed up.
Advantages
- This is a software that has higher capabilities compared to some of the other existing CNC code generators.
- In the other packages, data has to be provided sequentially whereas here the data can be mixed up.
- For example, in CNC software, geometrical entities making up a part drawing are identified and defined and cutter paths are defined in relation to them.
- Definition of geometric entities (like circles, straight lines etc) are necessary.
- Suppose a circle is defined by its radius and by two touching lines. In such cases, the general practice is to state the definition of the lines first, and then define the circle with respect to them.
- In most softwares - the circle virtually cannot be defined before the lines are defined.
- In the present software - anything can be defined at any stage - no sequence is required, the software simply absorbs all geometry definitions as you throw them to it - and untangles them and gets the full part geometry.
