SoftCAST™ is a multi-award-winning metal-casting-simulation software package for foundries and investment-casting facilities. SoftCAST™ allows engineers to simulate the behavior of the casting process during manufacture, which is often used to predict, in a virtual world, potential casting defects and quality issues within the cast part. The design modules in SoftCAST™ facilitate the easy development of both new products and new processes, and it provides options for the optimization of existing products and processes. The SoftCAST™ program is suitable for mass production, batch production, and jobbing lines. It has the capability to simulate a variety of casting complexities, including single- and multi-cavity mold designs, low to very high-weight castings, and cast sections whose thickness has no limit. The major differentiator between SoftCAST™ and our competitors’ products is that not only is SoftCAST™ a simulation program but it also has its own method design modules.

ONGAA CAM is a program specifically designed for WOOD CNC machining from HOMAG, BIESSE, HOLZHER. Tpa Albatros. It allows you to create finished programs from within SOLIDWORKS. While working in SOLIDWORKS, you design and apply toolpaths without conversions or DXF files. The files created by ONGAA CAM are 100% compliant MPR or BPP or CIX or NCHOPS or TPACAD files and require no additional manual edits. There is no additional software costs or post processors. To use ONGAA CAM, open Solidworks and a part. Next start programming or use the wizard to program for you. Finally click generate program and copy it to the CNC. Run the part program.
