SOLIDWORKS CAM Alternatives

ONGAA CAM is a program specifically designed for WOOD CNC machining that allows you to create ‘MPR’ / ‘WoodWOP machining procedures’ (for Homag/Weeke CNC machines) 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% Weeke/Homag compliant and require no additional manual edits. MPR files generated by ONGAA CAM are processed by the post-processor you already have (NCWEEKE or NCHOMAG) so there is no additional software costs. This means you only need to define tools once in WoodWOP, you keep all the safety features built into approach modes and the operator can adjust the MPR at the console (if needed).

CNC Software for Non-Machinists. MeshCAM is the fastest way to generate gcode. You have a simple goal, to take a CAD file and get your mill to cut it. You don’t want to become an expert on CAM software, you want parts today. MeshCAM is made for people who just want to make parts now. MeshCAM works with almost every 3D CAD program by opening the two most common 3D file formats, STL and DXF. If you just want to make 2D parts without using a 3D CAD program, you can load 2D DXF files (in R12 format) and extrude them to a 3D part. Sometimes you need a part that cannot be designed with a traditional CAD program. Sometimes you don’t even have a CAD program. If this sounds like you, don’t worry. You can open any image file (JPG, BMP, or PNG) in MeshCAM and the image will be converted to a 3D surface that can be machined directly. Users have come up with incredible uses for this feature to make parts that would be almost impossible with a traditional CAD program.

In the highly-competitive world of CNC manufacturing, businesses need to look for any way they can possibly gain an edge over the competition. Analyzing your machining process and trimming minutes off here and there in both the programming and machining can lead to huge savings at year-end.

The SmartPACK lineup consists of SmartCUT for automatic detection and elimination of time-wasting air-cuts, SmartFEED for intelligent feed-rate adjustment based on depth-of-cut and SmartPATH for advanced tool-path optimization. Better yet, when used as part of ICAM’s Adaptive Post-Processing™ technology, it can perform all these operations simultaneously, without the need for excessive CAM reprogramming and retesting. Rather than spend costly time to develop and verify positioning paths using trial and error, our patented SmartPATH® technology automatically finds the optimal path to move the tool quickly and safely from one position to another.

Intergraph Smart® Production Powered by NESTIX features a unique bottom-up approach to control the complete production process within yards and fabricators, based on Industry 4.0 concepts. With more than 400 customers, it’s a proven solution that contains all functionality for the work preparation, part nesting and Numerical Control (NC) generation, with load balancing for material and resources in a single integrated solution. Smart Production manages all changes to the production process consistently throughout with a data-centric approach. Access real-time feedback from shop floor machines and workstations to provide valuable insights on work progress at any given time. By integrating inventory, actual usage and remnant management into the process, significant material optimization can be achieved. Using Intergraph Smart 3D planning assembly hierarchy setup as the basis, the system visualizes in detail real-time production status compared to plan.

NC programmers use CAM software to create the control code for CNC machine tools. This ensures that a real component can be generated from a digital CAD model as an exact copy. CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) manufacturing technologies such as milling, turning and drilling are used to transform a digital model into a machined component. A CNC machine tool created the component from a stock model, cutters, and NC programs. Important business objectives are to produce components economically, accurately and on time. The strengths and advantages of a high-end CAM software application such as hyperMILL® from OPEN MIND become particularly apparent when complex components need to be manufactured. hyperMILL® NC users have access to a broad range of machining strategies, from 2.5D and 3D strategies and HPC solutions, to 5-axis machining and mill turning. Special applications for impellers and blisks, turbine blades, tube machining and tire machining round out the range of services.
