Summary

Simplifying programming across 2.5-axis, 3-axis and 3+2 positioning machines streamlines operations, allowing manufacturers to get the most out of their skilled CNC programmers. With modern software tools, programmers can collaborate more easily with designers and operations leaders to optimize operations, minimize setups and drive profitability.

Key Takeaways:

  • How to create machine-ready programs directly from SOLIDWORKS models
  • Feature-based machining with built-in automation and customizable rules
  • Streamlining machine and tool definition to minimize setup time
  • Evaluating manufacturability and choosing between additive or subtractive processes
  • Collaborating across design, manufacturing, and operations on a unified platform
