Milling and Hole Making

Knowledge Based Machining Boosts Productivity

PartMaker is the first practical Knowledge Based CAM system and averages a 70% time reduction in part programming. The software captures the operator's knowledge in programming repetitive part features such as holes, slots, pockets and contours. It later reapplies this knowledge to the programming of parts containing such features, minimizing job preparation time. An optimized process plan is automatically generated and machining time calculated. PartMaker is priced cost effectively to allow smaller shops to benefit from the productivity increase it offers.
