1 min read
Sescoi's new 'Investing in CAM Software' guide should help engineers to examine their motives for investing in CAD/CAM, while also explaining the benefits they can reasonably expect.
It also details the kinds of software features you should be looking for.
The company says that, by evaluating reasons for purchasing CAM software, engineering companies will be better placed to decide on which type of system is most suitable – and establish whether CAM software will meet the longer term growth demands of their manufacturing businesses.
For particular applications, the company makes the point that specialist add-ons such as WorkNC's Auto 5 automatic five-axis programming or its feature recognition module can produce staggering productivity improvements.
The new guide also provides advice on evaluating suppliers, their training, support and development mechanisms. And it points to the value of complementary products, such as Sescoi's own WorkPLAN ERP software and its WorkXPlore 3D CAD viewer, which encourages collaborative working.
Most importantly, the guide explains the benefits that shopfloor programming can bring to a business and the importance of ease of use – such as WorkNC's automated 'One Button CAM' methodology, in making this work.
It also describes how the speed of calculation, the configuration of the licenses and multi tasking capabilities can all help to maximizs productivity by greatly reducing programming times.
